Lmao that is Alex Walker of Colorado. He’s the Gay Democrat that was ‘running’ against Lauren Boebert in 2022 but only got like 9,000 votes in the Dem primary.
The emoji comes from this vid where he essentially tries to argue that “actually if you’re voting for progressive candidates you’re the reason why republicans keep winning - ITS not my fault my policies and opinions are basically republican-lite, you should vote for me because I am the gay democrat running against Lauren Boebert” - which people dogpiled on and it obviously didn’t win him any votes: video.twimg.com/…/dPnCtaCdecu18ulF.mp4 (linking directly to the video on twitter because I don’t wanna dig for it on his TikTok)
my fellow gay/bi men I am begging you to stop using that insufferable voice whenever you’re criticizing something - it NEVER makes your argument stronger…
