    Bigots are too big a percentage of your population to ignore 🤷‍♂️

    Brown people and gays Arent gonna get it any better under the fascists, so stop it with the targeted inclusion ads. Same with trans people, even women. They are all gonna be worse off, if you continue to focus so much on their equal rights that you fucking don’t win over the Nazis.

    You can focus on those things when you are not literally risking the fate of the free world. Please?

    Edit: I am not even saying “don’t run a politician that will fight for these things tooth and nail”. What i am trying to say is, “stop making it your main talking point” and “please run someone that the bigots can vote for”, meaning old rich and white.

    They can be an old rich white guy that fights for leftists values thats actually what i hope for dearly, but it needs to be someone that the racists and sexists can vote for too (even though the candidate should definitely not be neither), because you’ve got A LOT of them, and fighting the Nazis is more important.

    Bernie, tim walz, even Jon steward, i don’t give a fuck. Just let the world mature before you try to force AOC into presidency and accidentally hand the Nazis another term.

      Pretend I’m one of the bigots you dearly love and listen to me.

      Bigots only vote for the bigger bigot. If you want to beat nazis by appealing to bigots, you have to be worse than your opponent. You don’t beat nazis by chasing them to the right.

      If someone out there hates trans people, you don’t beat them by surrendering trans people to them. That doesn’t convince the bigots, but trans people and their allies notice. All you did is throw away your credibility for nothing. Pick any minority you are willing to abandon for the bigots you prefer in all cases. If you break solidarity with your base, you have no solidarity with your base. Even if you do it one demographic at a time.

      Where bigots are welcome, no one else is.

        Nah, a lot of people hate oligarchs and hate women and black folks too. Your world view is too black and white.
