Poor one out for all your LGBTQ+ homies in America, they're about to be hunted for sport.

I consider myself progressive and I voted for Harris, but when you say

Those are the people who are more likely to have LGBTQ+ friends and family.

I would assume some of those progressives that stayed home, just might not believe that the DNC would help them. I know it sounds crazy knowing history, but people feel how they feel. Especially when they see LGBTQ+ rights get rolled back, or companies quietly taking back pride month gear. If people look for who is fighting for them and can't find that in a political party, they won't vote.

We can argue that the LGBTQ+/GAZA/ or any other situation with a DNC win would be better than a trump win. But if that message isn't getting through then the problem lies with the DNC.

Stop going after the centrist vote. They are just not that into you.
