Emotional Outburst While Watching the Presidential Debate

[queerbychoice]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The stupid fucking homophobic heterosexual white male Christian so-called representatives of mine in the stupidest fucking so-called debate just would have to go and bring up the "Is homosexuality a choice?" idiocy. AS THOUGH THAT'S RELEVANT TO WHETHER WE DESERVE ANY RIGHTS. AS THOUGH TWO HETEROSEXUAL CHRISTIANS ARE IN ANY POSITION TO EVEN TRY TO SPEAK FOR ALL THE QUEERS OF THE WORLD.

Not only do I not want either one of them in charge of my country, I want them both fucking deported from it for making such a ridiculous mess of the entire election campaign. Somebody appoint me dictator on the grounds that my campaign pledge is to deport them both. Bush will be deported to a prison to be prosecuted for war crimes. Kerry can just be deported to someplace where I never have to hear about him again.

You're a heterosexual, right?

I think the comment thread here is an excellent playout of the "Should be put up with Kerry depriving queers of human rights for political advantage?" argument.

that's a fantastic thread.

I had a feeling you were gonna say that. It's a question of the lesser of two evils for myself personally and hence I am just saying that I thought Kerry just answered it in a way I wasn't as disgusted with.

Sorry if I offended you.

As much as I hesitate to support Kerry, and of course I believe in voting for a candidate who represents one's veiws, but I do not believe for a second that anything will be "better" under Bush. The "Bush is a tyrant and more people will fight him" argument was used last time, and we've seen where we go from here. I have faith in the radical left, and I believe that once the "witch is dead" euphoria wears off the real activists will get right back on track giving Kerry a hard time. Leftists spoke out against and resisted Clinton, too, no matter how much he's being painted as--as I saw on someone's journal today--the "lost King Arthur of the Left." I just don't think as much of our nation was paying attention.

I have personally gotten to the point where Bush's atrocities just exhaust me, and I find it harder to repeat the same arguments against him. I'm ready to fight against someone new. The fact of the matter is, George W. Bush is up for his four-year review, and he has not served his position well. In any other job his ass would be booted to the curb. He works for me, and I want him fired.

"I have faith in the radical left, and I believe that once the "witch is dead" euphoria wears off the real activists will get right back on track giving Kerry a hard time."

I wish I had that kind of faith in leftists. Actually, I've been meaning to post a poll asking Kerry voters to reassure me that they really won't give Kerry any more of a free pass to be right-wing than they would give Bush, because I figure both Kerry voters and others all benefit from asking that question - Kerry voters benefit by helping persuade the rest of us to not be as afraid of a Kerry presidency as we currently are, and the rest of us benefit if the Kerry voters keep their pledges to really critique Kerry after he takes office (if he does).

I don't have as much (or any, really) faith in the Democrats (big D) or the "hey, I'm a liberal!" crowd, but I think there is an activist contingent in this country that has somewhat grown but has also gotten more attention and therefore re-entered the American consciousness, and now it absolutely cannot afford to back down or give out free passes, even on fear of accusations of hypocricy alone. You won't back off, and I would like to think that I won't. Everything has changed about the way we think politically--lets just hope that it lasts, and that all the people who registered to vote for the first time this year keep doing it.

I don't imagine Kerry will be a great or an important president, but I like to think that he's sort of the limbo while getting ready and working for better things to come.

More importantly, though: were they supposed to be wearing the same thing?! omglolz!!1
