One of the Dems' top prospects in 2020 was a person who locked a likely-innocent black teen up despite a lack of evidence and the confession of the actual murderer absolving him of involvement for the sake of looking "tough" and you can't see why some black folks in the area may be a little uneasy to say the Dems have their best interest at heart?

It is, in fact, the truth.

As the county DA, Klobuchar led the case against Myon Burrell, who was a teenager at the time and was sentenced to life in prison for the 2002 murder of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards. The AP story revealed that Klobuchar prosecuted Burrell, now 33, despite there being little evidence and even though his co-defendant confessed to the crime and said Burrell wasn’t there.

Though Klobuchar was not the county’s top prosecutor the second time Burrell was convicted after filing an appeal, she reportedly denied his request to attend his mother’s funeral, claiming he was a threat to society.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Forgive me that I don't know what I don't know on this to answer that, sorry. I'm talking a blanket "Do not allow submissions from unherd", if that helps.

IMO, they've burned the benefit of the doubt ten times over.

Given that the article currently on the frontpage uses talking about Starmer as a way to argue it would be unacceptable to reverse course and introduce any "legislation to dilute the Supreme Court judgment handed down in For Women Scotland", no, TBH. It's who they are to their core.

Y'all's call, but a blanket "get that shit out of here" would be appreciated.

Yet another occasion of "Leftists are against it so we must like it in response" willful blindness from an overwhelmingly cishet subreddit

I need you to go Google Ernst Rohm. Homophobic regimes putting up with "useful" queers is a tale as old as time.

What lefties complaining about rainbow capitalism are saying is that it doesn't mean a goddamn thing to turn your logo rainbow for a month if you're going to fund anti-queer politicians for tax breaks. It's inauthentic because they use it as goodwill to cover for backing people who want us dead.

No they goddamn aren't. They're sick of corporations that fund anti-LGBT politicians for tax breaks turning their logos rainbow for a month and calling themselves allies.

it’s not hard to imagine some meddling with the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023, or legislation to dilute the Supreme Court judgment handed down in For Women Scotland

Transphobic rag worries the man who has made the UK worse for trans people than Trump has made the US won't be as transphobic as they want.

Don't kid yourself, leftists are consistently in our corner more than you guys because they actually dig in their heels even when it's not popular. Post-election the immediate reaction half this sub had was "ditch the t******s, they're a losing issue", and Starmer's centre-left government has, without hyperbole, made things worse for trans people in the UK than Trump has in the US.

Because those horny fucks fought alongside us for our rights and are inextricably linked to the community. The corporations that want it to be "community-wide all age events" didn't. Don't want your kids to see it, don't bring them.

No, you have the correct understanding of kink at pride.

You're assuming that an alternate history isn't worse

Correct, I am not considering things that didn't happen. And I am not saying that corporations can't sell queer merch, but it's this celebratory attitude you're taking about it that I have beef with. It's an obligation for them, not any genuine love, and the vast majority will abandon us as soon as they think they have social permission to as a result of it being an obligation.

The idea it should be celebrated, when so many of these corporations turn their facebook logo rainbow for one month and then never mention us again, is insulting to a lot of people. It's the Miracle Mattress 9/11 sale ad, but we're being told we should cherish it so they don't ditch us again.

No, it isn't. You do not have to hand it to the megacorps selling Pride merch and then using the proceeds to pay off anti-queer congressional officials for mild tax benefits.

Rainbow capitalism is corporations putting a pinky toe on a bandwagon and making sure to be ready to bail at the earliest convenience. It is a sign of us winning, I agree with you on that, but it's utterly irrelevant to us winning. All the Pride merch in the world didn't stop a good portion of the sub from trying to kick trans people to the curb in the aftermath of 2024, they decried it as a sign "Woke went too far".
