    Who the fuck cares if they’re black white gay straight trans, just so the fucking job well. That’s all anyone wants.

      Aww, you’ve never met a republican, huh?

        I have. And I’m telling them to get over it and not care. Even though I know they’re too mentally unstable to accept the feedback.

        We should stop selecting our candidates based on what Republicans think.

          The unfortunate reality is that there’s plenty of older democrats, “moderate democrats”, and independents that also have a negative perception of the LGBT community.

            And of course we listen to them, but order everyone on the left to STFU and adore the genocide.

            No more. Let the pampered centrists vote blue no matter who. Let them practice what they preach for the very first time ever. They don’t get their very first choice? FUCKING GOOD. I hope they never do again. Their first choice in 2016 handed the presidency to Trump out of sheer stupid pigheaded hubris. Their judgement is garbage.

          Their bigotry or mental health doesn’t make their votes worth less. You can cry about their sensibilities all you want but you need those votes to win regardless. Welcome to democracy.

      Anybody that wants to know they have a representative that… represents them. Particularly for those that have never had someone of their class act as a representative.

      There are several experiences/issues I wouldn’t have the first clue about good intentioned or not. To say ‘muh, just do the job well’ fails to appreciate that one cannot ‘do it well’ without intimately understanding under-represented constituents issues through… experience.

      Which is why the do-nothing Secretary of Transportation and McKinsey grad who got the job to repay a favor is the wrong choice.

      If anything, it could be awful for LGBTQ+ people if the first representation in the White House is a corporatist small town mayor who keeps failing upwards.
