Pop quiz. In the last three elections: Which US presidential candidates received more donations from billionaires, and corporations? Who does Jeff Bezos endorse?

Bonus question: Which famously anti-union corporation is REALLY into promoting LGBTQ issues and is that connected to anti-union activity in any way?

BONUS bonus question: I can't be bothered to frame this as a question, Amazon and the whole ass US Democratic party pushed gay stuff to get you off their backs about economy stuff that matters.

Really, really tired of this reality-defying both sides shit.

We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. LGBT rights and the rights of other minority groups are not some distraction. You can't ask someone to give a shit about economic inequality when they're fighting for their rights against discrimination in housing, healthcare, and employment. Those things affect minority groups a lot more directly than broader wealth inequality. You can create a socialist paradise that is still a Hell on Earth for queer people.
