Liberals will lie to you and tell you to “just vote in the primary,” but in reality they simply don’t care about trans rights and do not believe there is ever a right time to challenge transphobic Democrats.

First primary: the transphobes hide their colors so you can’t vote against them.

First general election: the snakes reveal their colors, but you can’t vote against the traitors because “blue no matter who.” They tell you to just vote in the next primary.

Second primary: the same people who tell you now “save it for the primary” shift their tune to “we can’t give up an incumbent seat in a purple district!”

Trans people can see through these bad-faith lies. Yet of course, mansplaining trolls will be sure to breathlessly explain “lesser of two evil” math, as if that’s not an argument we haven’t heard a thousand times and already rejected due to its obvious flaws. There’s never a shortage of arrogant cis people who think they know more about trans issues than actual trans people.

Liberals want your votes, not your voices. Be a good little minority and sit down. Shut up. Support the party. You owe the party your support. The party owes you nothing.

    because the gop was going to ever help labor trans folks or gaza?

    look, you can change the dems. stop fucking around with centerists and push bernie and aoc types. you will never be able to afford to outspend big money and influence the gop.

    oh, I get it, you could vote for jill stein, which is basically voting for trump again?

    worked great for gaza

      Everything i said is 100% true regardless. Labor was the top issue for Democrats only as long as union members could bribe them more than Amazon.

      I’m voting D this election, but yeah. Democrats are being paid by the same people as Republicans, even if you pretend that they’re not. This is the situation we are in, and voting will not get you out of it. I’m voting anyway, I take it you are too… but it won’t change what fuels our parties, which is about a billion dollars per election cycle.

      If you want Democrats to stand for GAZA, tell GAZA they’re going to have to pony up a lot more cash, at least as much as Israel

      If you want Democrats to stand for trans, come up with few hundred million, and VIOLA! you have a friend (for an election cycle, at least. If you’re lucky, and nobody “donates” more)

        the rich have been fucking labor far longer than Amazon has been around.

        you’re not wrong about the money, or human rights, or gaza, but also, you’ll always have more support from ideologically motivated people on the left than you’ll find on the right.
