    I fully support questioning both sides. I support making up your own mind. Although I think the news goes out of its way to sanitize the dangers of right’s extremism, which makes it harder for low-information voters to make informed opinions. But that’s a separate conversation.

    None of that changes the fact that she has a platform and she isn’t using it for her cause as she claims she does. But I’m glad that she’s definitively voting for her causes along with tens of millions of other people.

      She isn’t using it for your cause.

      She is certainly using her platform for the issues she cares about.

        It’s literally THE cause that SHE mentioned. That’s the entire point of my comments.

            I think you missed the conversation entirely.

              No, I didn’t.

              start of thread:

              • ‘voting for harris over trump is fine but that doesn’t mean there aren’t issues with harris’
              • you: ‘she says she supports LGBTQ+ issues but that’s clearly not true because she refuses to endorse my candidate’
              • Suavevillain: ‘I understand being uncomfortable endorsing harris since she seems to be signaling right, and it’s not her job to tell her supporters how they should vote’
              • you: ‘she isn’t using her platform for her cause because she hasn’t endorsed my candidate’

              You’re accusing her of not using her platform for LGBTQ+ causes simply because she isn’t endorsing your candidate, and the op and others in the thread are pointing out that Harris is a mixed-bag of policies and not by any stretch the champion of LGBTQ+ support anyway, and that choosing not to endorse her because of those apprehensions is perfectly understandable.

              You’re bullying her and others into hyping up Harris by accusing them of not really supporting queer issues if they don’t.
