    With enough time the SU would’ve eventually gotten there. Here I point to Cuba that similarly had reactionary views on LGBT issues in the past and have the world wide most progressive protections for LGBT people.

    Joseph Stalin fought the Nazis on the battlefield, but he was their ally in the cause of bigotry and hate.

    Stopping the Holocaust means that Stalin was a bigot and was hateful. Please get a grip.

      It shouldn’t take time for a person to realise that criminalising being gay is wrong. You should just know that by the time you’re 5 years old. At the latest. I have no idea what Genocide Joe’s parents taught him as a child, but they obviously failed to raise a good boy. They raised a shithead.

          Good people (such as the wonderful scientists at the Institute of Sex Research) are capable of critical thinking and questioning their problematic beliefs. That’s always been true and it always will be. There has never been a time in history when a good person thought we should throw all gay people in jail.

              Genocide Joe the first is dead. There’s nothing to gain by supporting him. Biden is alive. He’s most likely going to be a participant in the upcoming election that decides whether my partner lives or dies. I care about my partner’s life.

                Ok let me rephrase, it’s funny that you recognize that Brandon is not “a good person” but still are willing to look past his flaws, but aren’t willing to do so for Stalin?

                On a serious note: I hope you and your partner will be fine and I mean it. I just doubt that it will be significantly different under Biden than Trump (see caged children on the Mexican border. Biden continues trump’s policy just more “professionally” for a lack of a better word)

                  No, I don’t look past Genocide Joe II’s flaws. I hate his guts. Whether or not he wins, I’m trying my hardest to get my partner out of the US. He will certainly doom the US to a fascist Trump regime. Nothing I said in this meme or this entire thread looks past his flaws, excuses or accepts them in any way. He’s a shithead through and through. Please vote for him.
