It’s crazy that women in america could be arrested for having an abortion but everyone in the Epstein files is still just walking free…..

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

This so called ballroom/fortified bunker is to keep trump in office once America decides to boot his lying, cheating, bloated ass! But we're not suppose to be smart enough to know what their game is. Motor mouth trump told every single sucker/supporter what he plans to do! AMERICA WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

Unfortunately, I think that kind of decision making will work out for Trans folks about as well as deciding not to vote for Harris has worked out for the Muslim population. Probably even worse, since they're a much smaller % of the population, so considered an easier target by conservatives.

FrustratEd @bookerman62.bsky.social · 25/04/2026
No, but I also don't think that any Dem candidate would take a stance specifically targeting Trans people. So expand that - If a candidate does not expressly state a pro-Trans stance, nor do they declare an anti-Trans stance, does that automatically disqualify them in your opinion?

Then don't use quotation marks to falsify an attribution. It is a lie. And again, she said nothing like, I promise to kill their families. But hey, your desired outcome of seeing her defeated has certainly resulted in tens of thousands of dead families. So, go you!

FrustratEd @bookerman62.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
You used quotation marks. She absolutely DID NOT say those words. You've decided to attribute to her your desired interpretation of something she said. It's a bogus argument.

Yep, and he's not my top choice in the primary. Many dems now feel the same about him. And which dem candidates support Trans rights. There are several to choose from. But not a single leader on the right supports Trans rights. Is the decision to not vote? Who gains from that?

Kamala Harris never said that, which I'm sure you know. Trump may have, but this string was about single issue Dem voters.

FrustratEd @bookerman62.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
Nope, not even close to what I said. I just gave one example (of many) of a single issue voter who got what they voted for. No to Kamala helped give us Trump. If Kamala had other stances that they supported they made an ignorant decision. But hey, they made their point, huh?

FrustratEd @bookerman62.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
"An Issue" is certainly not the same thing as "The Single Issue" that makes me not vote at all or to not support a candidate that has stances on many other issues that I support.

So there are a very small number of Dems that don't support Trans protection. The vast, vast majority of Dems do support that. So because there are a few vocal dumbass Dems, all Dems are bad?!? This exemplifies my exact point. Look what we got from that kind of decision-making.

I live in Michigan. There was a formal boycott of Kamala in the large, majority Muslim Detroit suburb of Dearborn, led by their US Rep, Rachida Tlaib. They chose not to vote. 1 issue voters. Do we think they're happy with the outcome?

We’re living under a Trump regime that came to be because folks refused to support Harris because she was too stupid to allow a Palestinian to speak at the convention - as an example of a single issue voter. Can you admit that while certainly not a prefect candidate, she was the better alternative?

There only seemed to be 1 person yelling at me, something nonsensical about spearing trans people in the head. I can’t track with it.

So the Strait of Hormuz is closed again and it turns out Trump was lying the whole time. Shocking!

That’s sadly true. I always thought Trump would cause the right to split into two parties. I never thought the left would fracture the way it has

Also not the time to be a single issue voter on the left. We screw ourselves every time with this bs.
