since he does it a lot better ill give him the task

I would have been interested in this stream if I was actually allowed to run for president here. But how can I make this stream a better place when I am being barred from having the chance to do so?

If you stop saying homophobic comments, we will let you run, making this stream a better place right now is just asking people to join ig

But I do not have a phobia of homosexuality.

attacking lgbt people and saying homophobic comments, if you stop that behaviour, we will possibly let you run

But I do not have a phobia of homosexuality. And even if I did, why should that stop me from being treated like everyone else?

what do you think?

What do you mean?

Imagine there is this perfect canidate, but they are extremely racist to black people and minorities, and there is this other canidate just like the first one, but not racist, who would you vote for?

Pretty sure the first candidate wouldn't be "perfect" if he is racist.

i said he was perfect in all other aspects

Everyone has different ideas on what makes a politician "perfect".

This.

We're not about putting people down here, we're about raising consciousness and awareness and ending bigotry.

If he repudiates his way of thinking, stops spamming homophobic crap and picking fights unnecessarily, and apologizes to the gay/trans people on the site he's hurt (and they accept his apology), he's welcome to run IMO.

Those are a lot of "ifs" but it really isn't that hard. 99% of memers here on this site are qualified to run.

So you will only let me run if I think the way you want me to think? How intolerant, bigoted and fascist of you. The left really is a cult of self-loathing.

they are literally human beings.

We will let you run if you stop attacking other people. Like, comment, but just be more respectful. If you're homophobic, just try to figure out how not to be scared instead of just being a bully.

Then why do you not like LGBT+ ppl?

for the 100,000th time

i don't care how you think about things like taxes, foreign policy, governmental structure, election logistics, or even free speech necessarily

i just want to see you accept the dictionary definition of homophobia, make a public commitment to basic human rights, & make efforts to make amends with the memers you hurt because you fought with them and denied their rights and humanity.

the choice is yours.

apart from that: you already have a stream (a much larger one, in fact) where you are permitted to run for president without making any of those commitments, and at this rate you're probably gonna win.

[if indeed the next IMGFLIP_PRESIDENTS election even goes forward, because they are talking about closing up shop because of all the drama you've sparked.]

I am already committed to human rights. I never denied anyone their rights.

You called various left-leaning groups “not people.” (You tried to walk that back, but it was at the very least an extremely reckless statement open to the interpretation others applied.)

You’ve admitted you seek to pray the gay away.

It is not worth investigating your opinions of racial minorities, immigrants, or those of a different country or religion from yourself.

I have seen enough to conclude you are a bigot.

You are essentially by definition a parasite to this stream.

lol

those are a lot of tasks!

i'm really just trying to lay the groundwork.

everyone interested in building this stream, please feel free to do your own recruitment, make proposals of your own, etc.

i'd say we need a critical mass of at least 20 active memers (which is enough to fill 2 parties of 10 memers) to really get this party started, but preferably i'd like to see a whole lot more than that so this community is lively.
