This assumption needs to go out the window. Most of us complaining about Harris from the left voted for her anyways.
Y'all have continued to refuse to hear one word from your socialist, pacifist, and social egalitarian voters even as you demand we compromise with you providing blind support.

"Genocide is bad" is an extreme position, per the Overton Window, just like "I want a livelihood for my work" is.

I did vote for their shitty candidates and they still get mad about doubts and lack of enthusiasm

Oh, I only think it's a trade because that's what top Democrats have been selling my entire life and Republican's offer, abuse for everyone, is just not a consideration.
But I'll see my friend now. Just thought this worth clarifying. Thank you again.

Sry, I have a hard time seeing D bigots as outliers when up until about last December they were expressing real Islamophobia through performative opposition to Antisemitism, age bigotry is ascendant, and it sure seems everyone is expected to not rock the white patriarchal boat.
Still I vote for them

It's privilege 'cause the state violnc is, while not entirely theoretical, dwarfed by the scale of the violence we inflict abroad.
Same people promising to protect queer folk are also inflicting this violence. Also, Im old enough to have noticed they werent really with us until polls showed support

Not me. I vote every time. And every time for Democrats.
I've always had doubts but have no immediate plan to change that.
I will say this precise energy your giving is very common and sits pretty high in my doubts list about Ds.
Your entitlement doesn't draw votes

"Vote no matter who" is chronic participation. "Vote blue no matter who" is empty sloganeering that even annoys a substantial section of people who always vote blue.
Or at least I think I can safely assume I'm not the only one

And wouldn't it also be a form of privilege for me to worry about potential state violence against queer folk, who I am also a part of, while we actively commit state violence against black and brown people around the world?

So, consider the case of Jake Auchincloss. Won the D primary and Congressional seat in my then district here in sky blue MA.
He also lamented that it wasn't ok to burn a Quran.
There are deep racists among the Democrats. It isn't just that I don't love them, some I have deep opposition toward

Ive volunteered for a few Democrats over the years. Mostly governor campaigns; Deval Patrick, Donald Berwick, Maura Healey. Also issue campaigns like ranked choice voting.
NGL, Dems have been giving me some serious pause since, say, July 2024. Not saying I won't vote for them, just watch closer

Sorry, when did Democrats become opposed to war crimes? All their criticisms this weekend have been they didn't follow the proper war crimes procedures and Americans won't benefit.
Democrats have not and will not help. Spoken as someone who has voted for them for 20 years

What I am doing, besides denouncing their fascist impulses at every opportunity, is putting my meager resources toward building a life with found family that...let's say looks a lot less like I do.

Hey, I tell my demo every chance I get. They're...mostly not receptive. As I'm sure you can imagine.
And break bread? My material conditions don't allow me to reject hospitality from my family.

For me considering policy makers, it's NE1 who has or who *has had* power.
In terms of demos; despite, well look at me, Ive been on this reject white idntity bit. White aint a culture, doesn't have a language or food. Its history is brutal xrcise of powr.
But building community frm scratch is hard
