Answer me: If 70% of the population believed we LGBTQ+ people should be put to death, then you'd think that's alright?
That's what you're doing here, but with immigrants. The real problem is you don't see immigrants as humans. Their lives are expendable to people like you.
Ignoring that unspecified action on 'securing the border' and putting LGBTQ people to death aren't even in the same conceptual ballpark, if 70% of the population believed that LGBTQ folk should be put to death, then it's pretty clearly a losing plank to run on in a democracy.
So tell me - if 70% of the population thought that LGBTQ folk should be put to death, would you say "Let the guy who wants to genocide non-whites AND LGBTQ people win! Both sides are the same!" like you are now?
"Securing the border" is just political speak for trampling on the rights and dignity of immigrants. Again, I'm not that naive to be deceived by this crap. I'm way too old and have seen too many lies from politicians.
And I don't compromise and barter with innocent lives. I'm not that shitty of a human.
lmao
You think that's funny. Yikes.
Trump will put way more innocent lives at risk, so you are doing exactly what you're saying tou would never do by putting your vote for Biden on the table.
That's what's funny.
So I should vote for someone who's actively causing harm and whose supporters see this as acceptable (at least 70% according to that Pug person)? That's the best our system can do? What a fucked up system
