The Dredge Tank

I'm tired of artists profitting off queer and drag culture

She IS queer and drag culture. What's she supposed to do, not be a lesbian?

we should expect better of the people whose careers we finance

But not of the people we give power, apparently.

Remember when she was going to read Palestinian poetry at the White House as a form of protest and she was advised that it would put her life in danger to do so? I wonder why she would be hesitant to get involved.

The only issue I have with what she said is her using the term "both sides," as if they're a part of a different side.

I’m bisexual, and if me not supporting the comic relief anime villain party out of fear of the main antagonist anime villain party conflicts with that, then call me straight.

Extremely privileged position

You are a settler in the global north, you’re the last type of person to lecture anyone on privilege. How fucking dare you try to paint simply wanting peace to be bourgeoisie decadence?

She should support the party who has controlled the white house during a severe unravelling of trans rights

Poster 2 is a great example.of how liberals are literally incapable of complex thought.

It's not possible le to criticize dems from the left so if you're criticizing the dems you're to the right of them.

"The bare minimum for the lgbtq community" is more than what the dems give. And it's more than they'll ever give if everybody just votes for them regardless.

Settler queers and their minstrels stay proving they the weakest links... Genocide being a negotiable is the single biggest sign you might be a colonizing vulture; but more fools me for expecting an iota of self-awareness out of them.

privilege is when you care enough about the lives of people to not endorse their wholesale extermination.

like omg, think of how uncomfortable it will be to live in America and not be able to pretend it isn't a fascist, carceral murder machine.

how could you do this to us, just threaten to not support keeping the veil in place?

I just want to know where libs got the impression that the democrats have any interest and intentions in championing gay and trans rights. It’s certainly not one of their campaign promises, it’s not part of their party plan, and I don’t believe I’ve heard KKKamala mention anything during her speeches.

To point, they invited anti-trans republicans to give speeches.

Why are we expecting a musician to endorse anyone? She should have exactly as much electoral weight as anyone else, i.e. none. Like, a community or union leader giving an endorsement means something but a musician? What, is Kamala going to fund bigger concert venues? Direct R&D to discover new chords?

Also, Harris is a cop, I don't see any cop deserving endorsement from any member of the LGBTQ+ community for any reason. If the choices are a fascist (capitalist) and a fascist (cop), there's no worthy opponent to endorse and only the system itself to condemn.

Also also, Roan in that same interview said it was important to engage on local candidates more than national ones. It's not like she's rah rah on Republicans because she's unenthused about the génocidaires in power, she's telling people their votes are more impactful locally because again, both national candidates thirst for unlimited Palestinian blood, and no good comes from voting for either of them.

The message democrats have sent with their abandonment of the Palestinians and their rightward shift on immigration, is that they will discard you as soon as they think you're a liability to them as a party. They absolutely will not drop their fucking nuts and fight for you.

Trying to say that they'll protect LGBT rights -- aside from the lack of evidence policy-wise over the years, even in democratic trifecta states -- doesn't hold up with how they've thrown other groups under the bus and excused it with "it's actually to protect everyone else."

That's what they'll say when they're fucking you over too.

For the last image:

There is no bigger privilege than treating genocide as a non issue

That poster is definitely the kind of person to say "The Democrats might support the genocide in Gaza, but the Republicans will do that genocide and a genocide of queer people at home." As if the demonrats have been doing jack shit to combat the anti-GSM measures of the frothing fash rethuglicans.

You claim to be gay, and yet you don't support the brownshirts. Don't you know they have a gay leader?

kamala literally sent trans women to mens prisons, shes a transphobic piece of shit that brazenly inflicted lifelong harm on trans people for even minor offenses like speeding

It really is inconceivable to them that other people have actual principles that they won't drop the moment they're even slightly inconvenient.

Had it out with some dork in the music channel of a discord about this. Luckily I had some people on my side but god it was annoying seeing this moron say that "Chappell flirting with MAGAism again" over this.

I wish all of these people would say this in front of leftist groups and organizations and see how overwhelmingly queer these spaces are, and then I hope those leftists would beat the shit out of them

She even says she's voting for harris in the actual interview, she just stops shy of an actual endorsement. "Requiring" gen z pop stars to endorse a candidate is wild.

Queerness means performative tears for Broadway musicals and checking out all the amazing corporate ads during Pride.

I guess the "Stonewall riots to endorsing the cop" pipeline is real...

"Reasonable Adults"

Dems aren't even a ratchet anymore; it's like an action that one person can do that will have the vocel police called except all that comes out is fascism. They don't even help the LGBT.

They're in office right now. If they even did any ounce policy, at this very second, that would hinder what Israel is doing or take a step towards solidifying abortion access across the country or passing anything that would help regulate the mass shootings occurring everywhere, all the time, I would be the first in line fucking yelling to vote. Just demonstrate to us there's actual change that can be catalyzed from voting for this fkn cop, and I'll eat my words about electoralism.

This is a privileged position to take but calling a genocide "single issue" is not a privileged position. Fucking Americans

Who is Chappell Roan?

Dunno who this Chappell person is but judging by all these genociders hating, I think I like him or her or they

"profiting off queer culture" motherfucker she's a lesbian !!!
