    I don’t care if I get downvoted, I’m not here for that. I have been downvoted recently by neoliberals on this site for literally saying everyone should have the right to vote (and I quoted Lyndon B Johnson and the fucking constitution about this), so we can see how much a downvote is worth here. This isn’t a site for leftists or progressives, or even people with a basic understanding of the Civil Rights Era, and I understand that. So ofc there is someone advocating for something Nazi adjacent here, like medicalizing an entire voting base. Medicalizing something that isn’t a medical condition, especially acting as if their cognition is what is wrong, is something historically done to women in the US right before they got fucking lobotomized and put into conservatorship. It’s a conviction and punishment with no trial. Fascism. Not to mention what the actual Nazis did to people they considered disabled.

    It’s not “pointing out” anything to medicalize them. It’s an attempt to erode their rights by using laws that ALREADY abuse disabled people.

    It’s so funny how disabled people are the perfect weapon for pieces of shit who dont care about them. No one cares about helping the disabled unless it means they can weaponize them against another group they hate. Usually it’s the homeless but ig today it’s conservatives.






  • My practical solution is to acknowledge and talk about these issues, and to not gaslight people bringing up their real concerns. The only way we can effect change is through communication.

    Why would I need to discuss Republican issues at length here when no one is disagreeing that they are bad, no one is arguing that they aren’t bad? In my orevious comment, I literally state “Kamala is obviously better than Trump.” We all know. Had a Republican told me that they are better than Dems, I would’ve argued with them too. Go ahead and make that argument if you want and I’ll refute it, but it’s a waste of our time since we both already agree there.
