I keep having this conversation with straight white men that they are somehow perplexed by:

man: in order to beat Trump we’re going to have to concede a bit on your rights

Me: if you concede on my rights why the fuck do I care if you win? If I lose my rights no matter what, why does it matter to me that you beat Trump?

Man: *stunned confusion*

Danielle Foré

If the SAVE act passes, why would I care if Gavin Newsom is president. If all we do about ICE is make them wear body cams, why do I care if Kamala is president. If I am not allowed to pee in a public bathroom you think I give a shit if a democrat is in the White House? You’re really that privileged and all of this is a fucking game to you and my living conditions are just not real at all for you?

Danielle Foré

I swear to god democrats are just always telling me what we have to give up ground on. I’m only ever hearing what we can’t do. What we have to compromise on. Who wants to vote for that. Get your fucking shit together and at least lie to me

@danirabbit these sentiments make the most sense when you mentally replace "in order to beat trump" with "so that I can go back to brunch"

so that I can go back to brunch we're going to have to concede a bit on your rights
