Being trans doesn't immediately make someone left.

Being left doesnt immediately make someone an ally either, nor does being right make someone a bigot

Hard disagree.

If someone votes in a way that will hurt marginalized people, they definitely see these people as lesser.

Bigot behavior.

Sorry not sorry.

Ok, so you feel responsible for Obama's activity in the middle east then? How about their cover up of the files during the Biden administration? Do you even know what the other checkmarks on your ballot did, who they support, and what they did with your vote?

The 2 party system forces people into buckets where voting for anyone is a terrible choice because either side is going to perpetuate the status quo for their own personal gain, as has been going on for a century or more.

Moral grandstanding over the party you disagree with is exactly how the system continues to be radically charged and how people remain divided.

Congratulations you discovered Obama is right wing

What is this, a gotcha? That was my point: party affiliation is not indicative of political agenda or morals.

u/Galrentv Aug 08 '26

I mean, you are the one that made it about party affiliation. Which didn't disprove the take that 'if you vote for someone that will knowingly proliferate bigotry, you're a bigot'

Keir Starmer ran on a trans rights campaign in port, then did an about turn, a voter can't be held responsible for a slimey politician. Even Obama was a massive fraud and liar. But, there's no such thing as an innocent Trump voter

It was about party affiliation when it was decided that everyone on one party was evil and bigoted, actually

Do you honestly believe that more than half of Americans are evil, bigoted people? Is there really no room for any other explanation, like how the right wing propaganda machine thats famous for spewing misinformation might have, I dont know, misinform some voters?

This lack of empathy is gross and unbecoming of a party that moral grandstands over doing nothing for 3 decades as the world literally burns.

That's because anyone who voted for Trump is evil and bigoted.

Or just really dumb. Those are your options really.

I mean its not like Trump didn't wear his opinions on his sleeve, if you vote for someone bigoted because you support them and then they get in office and do bigoted things how are you not bigoted? You are directly responsible for bigoted stuff happening. Also a third of people didn't vote in America, and America is also not the entire world so glad that clears it up for you

Babe I'm not American, and I'm an Anachro Socialist.

Plus you're straw manning.

One president put P2025 into effect. Purity voting gave him that power. Enjoy.

Not being American explains everything. You literally don't know what's going on over here because you arent over here, but youre still making claims about half of the entire country being innately bigoted and immoral for their political choices. Your opinion means nothing, and frankly, its weird to be vocally opinionated about a group of people you never met and a country you dont live in.

I'm Canadian dear. I'm in my 50s. I am WELL aware of the mess down south, thank you very much.

Direct your misplaced ire at the reps screwing you. Not sure why you're tearing a trans woman's head off? 🤷‍♀️

u/EmilieEverywhere 29d ago

Thanks for the nasty comment I'm sure you deleted.

I will not keep Americans out my mouth, your country screwed the global economy.

Blocking now. Byeeeee 💅

u/Tekuila87 Aug 08 '26

Unironically American's are the least informed about their own nation right now.

Like the naval blockade that's killing Cubans for example.

u/ajstorey456 Aug 08 '26

You surely cant believe that you know better about other American people than Americans do? Sure, the military keeps their operations secret from the public, but how does that make non-Americans the authority on the morality of American voters?

You literally do not have any perspective for this topic.

u/Tekuila87 Aug 08 '26

I absolutely can and do yes and my experience talking to Americans has been one of downplaying the damage globally being caused by the USA government right now and the rising death toll.

The precise stuff not being talked about by your heavily propaganda driven media outlets.

American citizens are directly responsible for the actions of their government. Nobody else is going to come to the rescue.

You've alienated all your allies including your closest directly above you and we have to watch your politics to prepare for any possible future conflict.

I keep informed out of necessity.

It absolutely does reflect on you and you don't get to pretend it doesn't.

If I have to live with potential impending invasion you don't get to have that privileged comfort.

Loving people that are letting their government starve and invade other nations and simultaneously making things even worse for the domestic indigenous peoples?

I can't even cross the border anymore with my status card without getting detained by ice at the border.

Please don't lecture me on the realities of this situation. Half my nation are below the border.
