Note: this is all new for me so open to other news sources

Something clicked for me when you mentioned Capitalism as a worldview!! Noticing so many subconscious beliefs, ways of communicating, emotions are connected to capitalism. You just put me down a rabbit hole that will forever change the way I view the world

I see what you're saying. I don't personally resonate with the show (I did watch it and it was entertaining). I know the exact type of person who would watch this show and its a huge majority of young guys in the US. Dems need to be open-minded and understand we need new messengers…its not landing

Never got a response after that 😂

So when you tell me "it's just politics," understand: for me, it's about whether I can hold my partners hand in the hospital, share insurance, or be protected as his partner. That's not political—that's personal.

We can disagree on taxes, foreign policy, or government spending. But my right to be recognized as my partner as family? That's not politics—it's human dignity. (10/12)

When you vote, you're not just picking a personality or policy position. You're potentially empowering a movement that sees my marriage as invalid and my rights as negotiable. (9/12)

You might say "that won't happen," but we thought the same about Roe V. Wade. The fear isn't just mental—it's based on watching "settled law" get unsettled in real time. (8/12)

Supreme Court decisions set precedents for future rulings. By overturning Roe, they opened the door to revisiting other privacy rights—including my basic right to marry the person I love. (7/12)

This isn't theoretical. If my marriage gets invalidated in certain states, I could be banned from my partners hospital room if we had an emergency while visiting family in Texas or any anti-gay relatives could bar me from his funeral etc. (6/12)

Here's the scary part: My right to marry (Obergefell v. Hodges) stands on the EXACT SAME legal foundation as Roe did. When Roe was overturned, Justice Thomas explicitly said same-sex marriage should be "reconsidered." (5/12)

Let's talk Roe v. Wade: It wasn't just about abortion. It was built on the constitutional right to privacy under the 14th Amendment (and due process). Its overturn showed that "guaranteed" rights CAN be stripped away. (4/12)

Right now, SCOTUS has a conservative majority. So while your INTENTION might not have been an attack on LGBTQ+ members your vote IS...it's about how influential conservative figures can reshape fundamental rights when there's no counterbalance. (3/12)

Our government's system of checks & balances is meant to prevent any single group from having too much power. But when one ideology dominates the Supreme Court, Senate, House, AND presidency, those checks disappear. (2/12)
