I was just blocked by a mutual follower for saying that I'm a non-voter, in the context of expressing my resentment at non-voters being blamed for Trump's election. So be it.

Anyone else who wants to blame a Black trans person like myself when tens of millions actively voted for Trump in increasing numbers in 2016, 2020, and 2024, feel free to block me as well.

@funcrunch you were never a fucking mutual, and if you were, it was a horrible mistake. You were never blocked either. Your constant manipulation of your identity politics to silence black women while justifying not voting for one is mental illness, and delusional people like you are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for nazis in office. You’re an absolute sociopath. Do not play fake victim after putting everyone’s life in danger. YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM.

@ErickaSimone

I'm responding to this thread solely to clarify a few facts.

We were mutuals, and you did block me yesterday.

I am the child of a Black mother and white Jewish father.

I am agender transmasculine and go by they/them pronouns, not he/him.

@funcrunch don’t speak to me unless you’re apologizing for your grandeur delusion and false victimization. You are NOT the victim. You are the reasons others or suffering. Holding you accountable for abstaining for a nazi is fair game.

Also: You are a weirdo. I never followed you. If I did, it was a mistake. I don’t even fucking reply to you. Your parasocial relationship with me involves interjecting your unwanted opinions on your faux pacifist bullshit, and me ignoring you as a whole.

For the record, I still vote on local non-partisan offices and ballot propositions, but I have not voted for a major-party candidate for president since the 90s.

@funcrunch for the record, you abstain voted for nazis who will wipe your entire life off the face of the earth while you pretend to have some type of morals tied to pacifism. You have no morals, your attempts to virtue signal with no virtue has failed.

You’re an attention seeking weird creep and you’d better apologize or block me now, because I’m about to walk you all the way down.

I can't express how upsetting it is to me, as a person who has tried to amplify the voices of marginalized people like myself despite suffering from severe, often suicidal depression, to constantly be blamed, belittled, and derided by my so-called allies for my refusal to support the Democratic Party.

I left most social media networks partly because of this. Maybe I should leave Mastodon too. But I need to stay on top of things to be effective at my main work, volunteer editing on Wikipedia.

@funcrunch By not voting for Harris, you voted for Trump. You and everyone else who abstained from voting are as responsible for Trump being president as those that did vote for him.

Doing nothing is also a choice that has consequences.

@funcrunch I don’t blame you one bit. It’s on the politicians to earn your vote. They don’t own you.

A lot of people are waaaay over-identified with these politicians.

I'm also derided for my #pacifist stance, being told that this is a privileged position and that Black and trans people like myself need to take up arms against oppression.

The amount of violence and hatred in the world is becoming too much for me to cope with. I feel there's nowhere on Earth I fit in at this point.

@funcrunch please fuck all the way off with the self victimization. Your behavior is sociopathic at best. I’m also going to call out the fact that you’re probably not Black. So since you are so desperate for attention and victimhood, let’s go.
