Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Babe, wake up. It's an election year so now they're showing up at Pride and want our vote and money."
Biden has been working on LGBTQ issues his entire term.

All the shit Biden is doing is symbolic, which doesn't pay the damn bills
HRC is nothing but gatekeepers for the DNC.
I mean, no, they're changes to law and policy which is literally not symbolic. But you can just say whatever, you're free to do that I guess.
He's a Russian bot posting from Kamchatka, don't waste your time. Downvote & Block and move on.
The HRC has long been a corporate controlled piece of shit org that activist LGBTQ+ don't support. Former HRC President Chad Griffin worked in the Clinton White House. During Bernie vs Clinton instead of having the members vote who to have the org endorse, he made the decision to bypass them and endorse Hillary. Their own website had her at an 87% for supporting LGBTQ Rights while they had Bernie at a 99%. After their social media pages were bombarded with that, they removed the rankings from their website.
Anyways, here's some other reasons LGBTQ+ that pay attention don't like the HRC...

They've long been garbage
So anyone who doesn't know already return2ozma is very anti Biden as seen by basically only posting anti Biden articles. I'm curious as to what they think a better option that we have right now is? We all know the Republican party isn't the better option for LGBTQ. They push the anti Biden agenda but don't offer other options. Don't fall for the Subtle Trumper tactics.
Are you part of the LGBTQ+ community? Our history of activism and fighting for our rights? Calling me a subtle Trumper is so uncouth.
The lack of an answer to my question is all the answer I needed. This person has a strong anti Biden agenda, just look at the post history. It's fine to be critical of Biden, but they are not critical of anyone else. Please people do not be fooled.
No need to be critical of republicans, we all know they are garbage, they are open in their bigotry and racism. Democrats are covert in theirs, so it needs to be called out. The guy that helped hand our marriages to the states, where it was before Obergefell, is no ally to my community. The party that actively engages in social murder is no ally to my community
Another newbie? I've said multiple times I hate Republican-lite and genocider Biden. I also hate Trump and the GOP. Where's the problem?
Of course you already know what the problem is. We live in a first past the post system which means we are forced to choose the lesser of two evils. If you can't accept that is the problem then you are another problem.
We live in a democracy. I'm not forced to vote for either one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems the party that's going to save democracy doesn't like democracy very much.
It's your vote to throw away but if we get another 4 years of Trump you can kindly fuck off and quit complaining.
Don't blame the voters, blame the candidate whose job it is to earn the votes.
We're blaming first past the post. It's just math. If the left is divided across multiple candidates, we will lose to the party that is unified in voting for one.
So if you actually care about LGBTQ rights, don't throw away your vote.
