The number of people arguing trans people should compromise and vote for people who actively take away their rights is disturbing
I get it, but most of us here from the US are not single issue voters. From my viewpoint the democrats controlling Congress stops or at least slows laws harmful to the trans community, plus a lot of other harmful things compared to republicans.
Or people sit out and you get the republican agenda all the way. No good options.
I see many commenters wishing to accelerate the decline of the US (understandable but also fuck you) but it’s also a good reminder that the fights for gay rights, worker’s rights, and more took decades.
Shit even MLK day took near 20 years to be recognized and his family had to fight tooth and nail for that.
Hmm, should I vote for an anti-trans Democrat that's going to support democrat majority and generally not going to support the nosedive into fascism,
Or should I vote for the republican that definitely wants trans people dead. And fascism. And definitely less worker protections.
This is such a tough choice.
When Biden arrested 3000 non violent student protestors, that wasn't fascism?
Lol.
The actual fascist was supplying the weapons for a genocide and then arresting protestors for protesting it, I dunno how much more it needs to be spelled out, but your country has been fascist for decades, lmfao.
Oh look, the "try doing nothing again, maybe it will work this time" sock puppets are active again. It must be nearing election season again.
Normally, I would just block fascist sock puppets, but you guys showing up always reminds me to look at the early voting schedule for my area.
