I had previously been under the impression that in the U.S. the Liberal Democrats keep abandoning trans people. Especially around the 2024 election where they explicitly blamed them for losing the election. Despite the key concern being economic issues.

But It's actually hard for find any evidence for this, I know they haven't accomplished queer goals in the U.S. but I thought there was a more obvious examples of the contradiction for queer people.

it is no longer opportune to support them vocally.

This is a really good example of the spotty support from Liberals in America. The main contradiction will always be economic but minorities are scapegoated to prevent workers uprising. This creates a contradiction by pointing out the scapegoat, supporting the group, and directly addressing the economic contradictions.

It really isn't that hard to support minorities and fight for economic revolution.

Someone mentioned that "Democrats should be the default option for queers" and while I thought I had examples I'm struggling to actually find more than a couple. It might be that there just is support and its not as acute of a contradiction as I suspected.
