When are we going to have politicians with the courage to stand up for LGBT people, disabled people, poor people? Why is everyone in charge such a bigoted loser

We live in a world where billionaires control EVERYTHING. No government can do anything without support from billionaires. Said billionaires see any progress social movement as a threat to privilege/power. They literally see empathy as a threat and want us all to hate each other
There is something messed up about UK politics, I never hear anything good. Even some AMERICAN politicians will stand up for us. Canada we do pretty well so long as the Conservatives stay out of power.
But never anything good from the UK, just the worst stuff.
#LGBminusT. The correct question is: when will politicians stand up for LGB, disabled, poor etc…”. Leave the trans 🏳️⚧️ crowd out of the conversation- they should not be recognized in any sort of way aside from filth & extreme mental illness.
I did get an email from Nadia Whittome's office about chipping in for a Labour for Trans Rights presence at the party conference but god knows what good that can do at this point 😓 (nevertheless, that's, uh... a whole ONE politician. Who is too far to the left to be allowed any real power.)
Because The Heritage Foundation is a white nationalist organization and the ones who orchestrated this entire shitshow. Rest assured most red voters are equally bigoted and will see democracy undone if it means killing "woke" forever. This is the new world order.
Why cant we have a lady president minority from the lgbtai+ who isn't a capitalist scum bag that can reset this world for everyone to come together and heal from the trunpism era we're living though.....
Corporate capitalism and citizens united. Politicians don't work for you. They are controlled by and work for lobbyists. They just need your vote occasionally, but that's what high dollar campaigns are for.
People just keep voting for them
This one I was told was going to go all left wing when he got elected
Still waiting
From what I can see
They’ve been more transphobic in 10 months than the Tories were in 15 yrs
Regrettably, we cannot depend on politicians to protect our LGBTQ community. It is essential for us, as a community, to take initiative, similar to the actions taken during the Stonewall uprising in 1969. 😷🧱🏳️🌈
Perhaps in 75yrs or so; those alive then will read with dropped Jaw; the hitherto secret papers on agreements upon UK & it seems, international measures for reigning in all freedoms an access to increasingly advancing treatment options for Trans people. Redefining "their" place in society. #Wannsee™
I think it is that those of us who agree with you don't that think we can defeat the establishment democrats, BUT I KNOW THAT WE CAN. LET'S PRIMARY THEM. ✊✊✊✊
Look at people at the local authority level, it's a nest of vipers.
Go in with the best intentions, then get sucked into the grinder, start playing the game to try and get things done...

They are deathly afraid of anyone not made in their own likeness.
Where you and I can go to the deli down the block owned by a
visible minority or alternative lifer, a bigot will drive 10 miles to get a gas station po boy.
And tell you he does it cuz its a better sandwich.
They are ignoring these things, simply to get elected. It's wrong and something needs to be done. We need to stop Americans interfering in our politics.
Because the American system is not one that learns from its past. Instead, the policy is to retcon the past. Other than Trump, Nixon is the only universally acknowledged shit-stain president, and the reason those are the only names people know is because they are still within living memory.
There have been others. Wilson. Hoover. Most people cannot even place their faces to their names, let alone explain why they were terrible, and that is very much on purpose.
Just like them, when Nixon and Trump drop out of living memory - when there’s no longer anyone who can say “I was there! That’s not how it went!” - they will get reanalyzed as merely inconsequential and made to fade away.
We’re talking about a system, a culture, and a people who are unshakably convinced the Thanksgiving narrative of Wampanoag folk feeding the Pilgrims as a symbol of manifest destiny is remotely true. It never happened. The Wampanoag folk were too busy being dead from smallpox.
Because we are the least powerful in their eyes. Losing us, would have the least disruption to their end goals (again in their eyes) which is why we need allies and people to support us. Before we get erased and an entire new generation must struggle for a seat at any table.
We're hitting a new era of desperation and suffering where presenting this instead of a solution has me, a once somewhat reasonable person, believing youre a legit psyop
When are you going to talk to your own bigoted family instead of lecturing us b/c theres one grp responsible for the ongoing codified hatred in Amerca and 1 guess on who that is https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how_groups_voted

Angela Rayner's eyes always look like her kids are being held hostage lately.
They believe Jesus was a white, cysgender male who hated anyone who was not.
But never anything good from the UK, just the worst stuff.
It’s capital

When? After the fall
Reminder that the greatest LGBTQ champion ran for President twice and both times wealthy gays went for the moderates instead.
So plenty of those politicians. Yall just don't vote for them.

FEAR
Or worse, afraid of being seen as an ally that might get pushback from their conservative constituents!
