ehh not exactly? let's be real, if you're attending an evangelical church, you're probably not a liberal. but as a liberal who lives around a bunch of conservatives, that doesn't make me lie about who I support - I'm not gonna wear my Nasty Woman t-shirt to the parent-teacher conference or a pussy hat to a birthday party, but if they ask me who I'm voting for, I'll be honest.
the question is what faction of conservative ideology, and more importantly whether that one facet outweighs all the other shit the GOP pulls. blacks are still uncomfortable with LGBT identities, but is that worth all the ways the GOP wants to subjugate & abuse them? Hispanics are anti-abortion but does that justify the dehumanizing treatment of migrants? this is why single-issue voting is so dangerous.
it is the responsibility of the Democratic party to: (a) represent those who ARE that left; (b) pull the rest of the moderates to the left; and (c) remind people that the consequences of sliding too far to the right vastly outweigh those of going "too far" left. a genderfluid socialist utopia might be confusing & scary for the moment but a fascist kleptocracy will literally kill you.
these are all examples of people supporting something they don't fully understand. whether it's the benefit to communities (migrants actually lower crime rates), the real human cost (migrants fleeing violence or public schools losing funding to "charter" schools w/no standards), the self-sabotage (more militarized police = more Breonna Taylors), or the flat-out disinformation (trans athletes CAN'T "choose" m/f sports, they TEST HORMONE LEVELS).
this is pure ignorance in voting.
ill-defined? more like ill-understood. y'all will be begging for that establishment status quo when Trump gets his vision of Gilead realized. you're not intrigued by socialism, well how about serfdom? that's the GOP dream. corporate towns and company scrip and you're all but slaves fattening King Donald the Cravenhearted. you can row row fight the power when the power isn't beating back a return to the Middle Ages.
DO YOU BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE MISTREATED BECAUSE OF YOUR SKIN COLOR? NO? THEN FUCKING VOTE BLUE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT TRUMP IS PROMISING. THERE, HOW'S THAT FOR LISTENING TO THEIR BELIEFS?

don't get me wrong, I will gleefully watch the DoJ bitch slap Apple, but your own idiotic brand loyalty does not amount to a monopoly.
and that's FINE! no one is trying to ban tiktok as a concept! if you insist on scrolling endlessly through bite-sized videos, at least YouTube Shorts isn't pushing Chinese propaganda!
what a shitbird. the deadline to file for the NJ primaries is MONDAY. God help any Democrats who might've decided to run if he had made this decision sooner.
someone staple this to the foreheads of all those dipshit activists who are mad at Biden for not doing enough to address climate change
because they've all got heavy metal poisoning from their river that catches on fire?
@dietotaku Minorities are a 'good thing' because they'll be forced into the workforce at age 9 instead of school; they'll be perpetual debt slaves to enrich the 1%; they'll be cannon fodder for perpetual wars that make money for the 1%....
ok but committed conservatives are even MORE disproportionately white so... fuck off?
and what even are those other categories? "Democratic mainstays"? "ambivalent right"? "stressed sideliners"? that doesn't tell me anything about their actual BELIEFS. of all of those categories, progressives seem to be the closest to a representative sample of the population.
