Good news! To the Republicans neither are important and they would gladly see both groups disappear, so a vote for them and a refusal to vote for the Democrats was just support for both Muslim AND LGBTQ+ genocide! Good job everyone!
And no, it won’t affect me, I’m a white CIS hereto guy living outside the USA.
I hope you sleep comfortably knowing that your protest vote or non vote will result in the death of more Muslims. I guess they’re not important to you either.
I’m not Jewish either, as a baptized Catholic you don’t have to worry, I’m safe, unlike those Muslims and LGBTQ+ and Ukrainians and so many more which you’ve condemned to genocide. Hell, even blacks, Latinos, first Nations and Arabs inside the US are in even more danger than they were because of people who didn’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils or who voted for the Republicans to “teach the Democrats a lesson”.
Well that lesson will be taught at the expense of a whole lot of minorities and foreigners so fuck you, especially since you recognize that you just made the whole fucking world more dangerous for everyone.
You’re the one who supported a far right lunatic and who tries to make yourself feel good by pretending that your choices don’t have consequences on yourself and others. Stop blaming others and act like a fucking adult, presented with a choice between two options you chose the one that would make things worse for the people you pretend you want to protect. You cut your nose to spite your face and now you’re in front of the mirror pretending it was all worth it because you can’t admit to yourself that your decision just made things worse.
Good luck with your deportation, hopefully you don’t get sent somewhere to die so you get to learn a lesson.
Edit: Aaaw, you’re mad and you’re downvoting all my previous messages, cute!
Oh not this again, the flying carpet fallacy. Majority of American Muslims support LGBT rights, but that doesn’t matter to you because you’re judging me based on people in another country, who speak a language I don’t. Do you also bash American Christians because Ugandans lynch gays? Or do you bash American Jews because Israelis are terribly rightwing and extremist?
Way to push away your political allies who have been on your side for decades.
What are you even saying? I didn’t say anything about what American Muslims support. I wasn’t even talking about them.
I’m talking about what all the non-Muslims, many of whom never even talked to a Palestinian in their lives, said to not vote for Harris because of genocide, ignoring the fact that Trump was not only even more in favor of genocide of Palestinians than Harris, but also made his plans to implement domestic genocide very clear.
Because the important thing was their own self-righteousness.
Those people are not my political allies. Exactly the opposite. They’re the people who have participated in what is forcing me to flee the country for my queer child’s safety.
Also:
Or do you bash American Jews because Israelis are terribly rightwing and extremist?
You might take a look at my profile and see what communities I moderate and then think about asking me that question again.
It’s known as a rhetorical question. I was giving examples to show how stupid this double standard is, not that I was claiming you are bashing Jews. I can’t see your mod communities on mobile and frankly it’s not relevant.
You don’t have to be Muslim to be appalled by the carnage in Gaza or the rise of rightwing extremism now in charge of a nuclear armed state making aggressive wars on neighbors and oppressing minorities through continuous modern apartheid. Why are you so bent out of shape that this genocide shocked their conscience too? This wasn’t about self righteousness, it was about basic human morality; Biden actually spent his political capital and fought his own party and majority public opinion to accelerate Israel’s violence. He wasn’t just passively complicit but became an active accomplice and tried to make us all part of it by voting to continue it with zero changes or oversight. Browbeating the public to support it or else is not a winning strategy and he has only himself to blame, not any voters you want to castigate. A politician who can’t lead and can’t campaign and can hardly speak coherently in debates or policy discussions should be blamed for losing and not the voters. That’s how normal politics works. “Vote for the party no matter what” is not normal and you shouldn’t blame people for not sinking to your level of amorality or cynicism. You can’t blame Trump voters for ignoring his rape allegations and then get angry that Biden voters are wavering because of his inappropriate behaviors to women or his open support of genocide. It’s a double standard.
And despite this, despite breaking his campaign promises and shunning the community who helped him win last time, the Muslim-American community STILL turned out and majority voted for Democrats as we’ve done for the last 20 years. And we collectively lost anyway but you decided to make yourself feel better by blaming the victims here.
I’m still not talking about Muslim-Americans no matter how much you want me to be. Sorry. If you want to argue with someone about what Muslim-Americans believe, maybe post a topic?
Where did I make it about Muslims? Quote me. The only time I even mentioned them was when I was talking about the “Don’t vote for Kamala” people caring about the genocide of Muslims overseas but not giving a shit about the genocides that were going to hit their doorstep.
It seems I was confusing you with another poster in this thread, and for that I’m sorry. You bashing “people like yourself” was ambiguous as was your comment putting down the needs of Muslims overseas.
Of course, I support the trans community and I think both our communities are about to suffer over the next few years.
Your response was a strawman. No one was saying anyone was more important than anyone else, you just tossed out that nonsense instead of trying to actually participate in a conversation.
You don’t have an opposing position, you just want to be contrarian and make outrageous statemens, which is just a fancy way to say you’re a troll. Maybe it’s famous because a lot of people like you troll and get called out for that nonsense.
Gay people aren’t more important than Muslims
It would seem that they are considerably less important than virtue signaling to Muslims for many voters, yes.
Good news! To the Republicans neither are important and they would gladly see both groups disappear, so a vote for them and a refusal to vote for the Democrats was just support for both Muslim AND LGBTQ+ genocide! Good job everyone!
Good news, genocide is genocide. You’re just upset it might effect you now.
Affect.
And no, it won’t affect me, I’m a white CIS hereto guy living outside the USA.
I hope you sleep comfortably knowing that your protest vote or non vote will result in the death of more Muslims. I guess they’re not important to you either.
What other languages do you speak?
But no, it doesn’t stop with the US, and if it’s not stopped no where will be safe for you either. Mostly cis white men died in the Holocaust.
French is my first language.
I’m not Jewish either, as a baptized Catholic you don’t have to worry, I’m safe, unlike those Muslims and LGBTQ+ and Ukrainians and so many more which you’ve condemned to genocide.

Well that lesson will be taught at the expense of a whole lot of minorities and foreigners so fuck you, especially since you recognize that you just made the whole fucking world more dangerous for everyone.
Sorry my genocide is finally affecting you, and yes it will affect you.
Hope you stop being a far right lunatic and stop supporting them.
You’re the one who supported a far right lunatic and who tries to make yourself feel good by pretending that your choices don’t have consequences on yourself and others.

Sorry, I didnt vote for Harris, you seem to be confused. Anyway byebye rightie. Hope you feel an ounce of what you wish on others.
But queer people domestically are apparently far less important than Muslims in another country.
But I look forward to the people who told me “there won’t be a genocide of queer people” telling me that the genocide isn’t happening.
They just shut put their hands over their eyes whenever I showed them this after all…
Sorry your support of genocide might now effect you
It’s like the literal progression of the poem and people still act surprised.
Affect.
I have a long history here on Lemmy. Let’s see if you can find one single comment where I support genocide.

I never once bashed Muslims. This has nothing to do with Muslims. Stop trying to make it about Muslims.
Of course you are, it’s what your above comment is about, trying to make false associations as if that applies to my community here.

Entirely missing the point, this has to be a troll
Oh hey, the famous .world reason for mass banning of dissent and opposing positions.
