Tim Walz defiantly defends trans people from Republicans' "demonizing" attacks - LGBTQ Nation
www.lgbtqnation.com
He took a bold stand and talked about how coming out can change our loved ones' politics.

“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

    And alienate a large part of their voting base weeks before the election? Yeah… No.

    Pro-genocide centrists are a valued constituency while anti-genocide progressives are not. You can tell by who the party listens to and who the party demands “blue no matter who” from.

          If you can’t make the basic choice to support the candidates that stand up against full-blown Fascism in this country, you are an inhibitor to progress. Defeating Trump is a battle we must win if we’re going to win the proverbial war.

          Anyone campaigning against Harris or Walz right now is campaigning for Trump. Anyone campaigning for Trump should know that he’ll happily let Israel wipe Palestine off the map entirely. Don’t even fucking pretend you’re “anti-genocide”. There’s only one candidate that could actually deescalate this conflict, and if you’re going to fight back against them or blame them for this conflict, you’re a bad faith actor who has absolutely zero interest in real world outcomes for the victims of this Genocide you prop your narrative up with.

          Palestinian groups are backing Harris/Walz. Privileged American “leftists” are playing the same stupid purity game they play every 4 years, with zero regard to the real human lives on the line.

            I’m voting for Harris. Keep ignoring it because you want to keep supporting genocide.

      Oh hey another username I keep seeing… Either you gotta start making new ones more often, or you need more than a couple people to manage all of these sockpuppet accounts.

      And… tagged.

      Good luck I guess…
