  • More conservative projection.

    link

    Oh, look, you’re also a liar

  • Then you shouldn’t project so much.

    Or stop the childish name-calling just because someone presents facts that give you the BiG mAd.

    President Biden has been absolute garbage towards the LGBTQ community during his term. That’s a fact.

  • Yet you refused to explain why you’re siding with those clearly in the wrong.

  • Just asking questions

    Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off, or as emojis: "🤔🤔🤔"[1]) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one's opponent; rather than laboriously having to prove that all politicians are reptoid scum, one can pull out one single odd piece of evidence and force the opponent to explain why the evidence is wrong.

    The tactic is closely related to loaded questions or leading questions (which are usually employed when using it), Gish Gallops (when asking a huge number of rapid-fire questions without regard for the answers), and Argumentum ad nauseam (when asking the same question over and over in an attempt to overwhelm refutations).

  • Ok, then: why are you siding against the very clear and damning evidence to defend an extremely exploitative company with zero regards from anyone else’s rights when it’s very clear that they’re in the wrong?

  • Careful… that kind of talk could lead to your very convenient “suicide”…

  • Kinda shitty to tell people that their legitimate concerns regarding their freedoms are “non issues”. What incredible privilege you must have.

    Must be nice.

  • Cum guzzling Sam Altman is the new cum guzzling Elon Musk

  • Must be why people all over the world are terrifically concerned about it. Kind of negates your whole assertion that nobody cares.

  • I did. Don’t tell me what I did and didn’t see or live through.

    How arrogant and presumptuous of you to think you could presume my entire life experience from a few internet comments.

    Oh, and making personal attacks to further your position just highlights how weak your argument is.

  • Spoilers: They didn’t.

  • I apologize. I’ve been getting nothing but pushback here (as you see), and I confused your reply for that.

    Look, we have VP Biden to thank for Obama going full-in on LGBTQ policy support. But where is that same gusto, that fervor with President Biden?

    Nowhere.

    The best he’s done is to reinstate or reconstruct Obama-era policies that MAGAts tore up, but only barely, and he’s done absolutely nothing to push things further. Worse, in the face of the worst onslaught against LGBTQ rights in decades, he’s all but silent.

    I understand that the president isn’t an emperor and cannot simply dictate laws, but he can stand up and speak out. Obama did. Once, even Biden did. He did that a lot as vice president. Yet, as president, he has done absolutely none of that for the last four years, and it’s a sickening disappointment.

  • I’m not a centrist. I just don’t believe Biden should get credit where it’s not due. As vice president he engaged in plenty of LGBTQ advocacy. Not so much as president.
