Only one of them wants to actively kill my queer friends, so yeah, it matters.

Both of them want to actively kill Palestinians, including its queer population. "The lesser evil" one is currently bypassing congress to do so

Sounding alot like this rn

Cool story, still matters for my non-palestinian queer friends.

No queer friends in Palestine, I'm guessing. But even if only people in the US deserve life, Biden isn't doing anything to stop LGBQT rights from being dismantled. It will get worse even if Biden wins a second term. If Democrats didn't codify Roe v. Wade when they had the chance, why do you think they will do anything concrete to protect them, when they can use their fear to scare them into voting for them.

Yup, the same dynamic as the right and immigration. More to gain using as a political football instead. The tactics are from the same, cynical playbook, and partisans are happy to play along when it's their team.

Biden only passively wants to kill us and is willing to look the other way when states do it, youre right.
