i mean, at the state level blue states are both not trying to get queer people killed, and are expanding access to resources. blue senators aren't voting with the anti-queer positions on the federal level. they aren't safe, but complacency and support are not the same thing, and the outcomes for actual people are materially worse in places where republicans have control.
The shit I’m getting is for my federal voting stance, not my local or state voting stance.
Complacency and support are the same thing at a political level. Doing nothing is a an explicit choice. The party doesn’t care about labor or anyone that isn’t a capitalist. Manchin and Sinema are great examples. They haven’t faced any consequences nor will they.
