You’re complaining about her saying she doesn’t want to endorse Harris by accusing her of insufficient queer advocacy

it’s perfectly fine to criticize anybody who says they’ll do everything in their power to support LGBTQ+, and then refuse to endorse Harris

I’m angry with those who choose to spend their time casting accusations against LTBTQ allies simply because they refuse to endorse their political candidate.

I live in a red state. Federal protections are the single most effective way way to support LGBTQ+. So yeah, don’t say you’re doing “everything” if you won’t even endorse.

Love what she does, I love the activism. She has no obligation to endorse. I totally get Gaza if that’s the holdup. But saying you’ll do “everything” in the same breath as saying you won’t endorse Harris is a lie and is offensive to me as someone who lives in an impacted state who desperately does not want another Trump presidency.

Democrats haven’t done anything on the federal level to protect LGBTQ rights in red states, nor is Harris running on any LGBTQ protections. Go ahead and look through her campaign website. There’s not a single mention of LGBTQ or gender. There are only 2 mentions of ‘minority’, and only one of black americans, and only in the context of business ownership.

Don’t tell me Harris is going to protect minorities in red states when she’s not given a ounce of time or effort doing anything to defend them.

edit: on her website she doesn’t even discuss queer, gender, or immigrant issues when discussing project 2025. It looks as if she is going out of her way to avoid the topic altogether.

I don’t give a fuck what she has to say to voters to get her elected. If you don’t think liberal judges over the next four years are a net positive over conservative judges, you need to pay more attention to politics more holistically.

For the record, this is also why I’m forever grateful to Joe Manchin for giving Dems a majority despite him not agreeing with Dems on many subjects. The alternative was far, far worse.
