11·1 day agoHow fucking dare you accuse me of ignorance when I’m warning about trans genocide coming from a Democrat while you tell me to ignore my looming slaughter to vote for a person that wants me dead. Go fuck yourself.

0·1 day agoWhen the “good guys” are talking about taking away human rights, there is no better or worse. Only depths of depravity.

0·1 day agoYou aren’t fucking listening. I didn’t say don’t vote at all. I said don’t vote for this seat. This isn’t a god damn purity test, this is a candidate openly saying that I shouldn’t have rights.

1·2 days agoWhat I’m hearing is that you find the genocide of trans people an acceptable compromise between the 2 major parties. You would rather vote for a Democrat that wants to federally ban trans healthcare than push back against the Democrats even a little.

0·2 days agoBoth are unacceptable. Voting for either will indicate to the dnc to move right. The only way forward is to show Democrats that people will not vote for anti-trans stances.

0·2 days agoYea, they both want to strip my human rights away. I didn’t say that they were exactly the same. Different words mean different things.
My life will get demonstrably worse with either candidate, being trans+ myself. We are not your volleyball in the game of politics, we are people.
I’m organizing unions, to build labor power in support of a general strike that CWA, UAW, and other unions are building towards.

0·2 days agoThat doesn’t answer the question. At what point is a Democrat’s anti-trans stance unacceptable to you?

0·2 days agoWhere is the line? At what point are you unwilling to support a candidate over their anti-trans stance? Banning trans healthcare should be enough.

0·2 days agoThe Democrat wants the same thing as the Republican. There is no changing either of their minds. I am one of their targets. Don’t fucking talk down to me like I don’t know what I’m talking about.

2·2 days agoSo what I’m hearing is that you’re ok with trans genocide. Human rights are non-negotiable.

2·2 days agoYou do understand that voting for the person you want is a vote for the person you want and not a nonvote, right?
Additionally, where is the line? The Democrat wants to do the trans genocide just as much as the Republican candidate. Your vote is also a message to both mainstream parties. Voting for the Democrat will signal to the dnc that being anti-trans will break the losing streak. Voting for the Republican will do the same, because the dnc are always chasing the non-existent “centrist Republicans”.

2·2 days agoLet’s do a tally.
- Democrat: anti-trans
- Republican: anti-trans
By voting and not selecting either candidate for this race, it sends a crystal clear message to the Democratic party that anti-trans campaigns are a losing strategy; they already know that, but the dnc is dense as fuck and needs to see it again after 2020 and 2024. Voting for the Democrat in this race is rubber stamping anti-trans stances, they’ll move right again

1·3 days agoThey get the message of statistics from the number of people who voted and left the spot blank. Those ballots will also have data on the people that they did vote for.

2·3 days agoThe answer is to not select either candidate for that position. But I expect to hear screeching over that because “how dare you send a message to politicians, they’ll kill more than just you now!”

Trans healthcare is lifesaving. It’s really fucking telling that you either don’t know that or choose to ignore it so you can come in on your high horse and tell the trans people that they’re overreacting because a Democrat wants to ban trans healthcare.
