Dwell in Possibility

4/26/23 - Biden/Harris administration files lawsuit against the state of Tennessee, challenging the constitutionality of recently enacted legislation banning age-appropriate, medically necessary gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

2/7/23 - Biden uses his SotU address to encouraged Congress to pass the Equality Act “to ensure LGBTQ Americans, especially transgender young people, can live with safety and dignity.”

12/13/22 - Biden signs the Respect for Marriage Act, one of the biggest legislative wins in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality in over a decade, guaranteeing federal rights, benefits and obligations of marriages in the federal code for same-sex couples.

And that’s just the last two years, without including any educational or research work done towards new policies or educating Americans about LGBTQ identities and politics, like displaying parts of the AIDS quilt in the White House or regularly acknowledging Pride, days of visibility, or other issues within the community.

There is no universe where Hilary makes anything close to those decisions, and in the scenario where she was POTUS Biden would have never run for office again, and we'd be having a modern election with a new Democratic candidate and a non-Trump Republican.

A protest vote to put pressure on your party to change to do things the way you want them to a) doesn't work because that information doesn't directly convey to party leadership without you directly informing them and b) comes at a cost that is paid by our poorest and most vulnerable populations as they are the targets for conservative pressure. It is a luxury that only well-off white liberals can afford.

I have conflicting feelings about Biden as I applaud a lot of the work his administration is doing to unravel the destruction his predecessor wove but also abhor his lack of action on Israel and continued deportation/border policies and support for media bans/restrictions. He could do more to try and reign in the nonsense that is the Supreme Court today.

We have a witch in our party, but his greatest contribution to our campaign so far is that he’s also a fucking lawyer. The fact that in any given situation he can read the legality of our actions, the punishments for digression, the loopholes through it, it’s turned out to be absolutely vital to how we get through our dumbass shenanigans.

Our fighter, meanwhile, has a job as a professional dominatrix, and you’d be amazed how often it comes up? Her intimidation checks are through the roof she can just slam the butt of her spear against the floor and everyone shuts up and listens to her, it’s fantastic.
