I think you missed the conversation entirely.

No, I didn't.

start of thread:

  • 'voting for harris over trump is fine but that doesn't mean there aren't issues with harris'
  • you: 'she says she supports LGBTQ+ issues but that's clearly not true because she refuses to endorse my candidate'
  • Suavevillain: 'I understand being uncomfortable endorsing harris since she seems to be signaling right, and it's not her job to tell her supporters how they should vote'
  • you: 'she isn't using her platform for her cause because she hasn't endorsed my candidate'

You're accusing her of not using her platform for LGBTQ+ causes simply because she isn't endorsing your candidate, and the op and others in the thread are pointing out that Harris is a mixed-bag of policies and not by any stretch the champion of LGBTQ+ support anyway, and that choosing not to endorse her because of those apprehensions is perfectly understandable.

You're bullying her and others into hyping up Harris by accusing them of not really supporting queer issues if they don't.
