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.

    It actually has worked amazingly well for the Palestinian cause.

    Yes, on the ground, things haven’t improved in Gaza, but they also haven’t gotten any worse. The vast majority of the deaths were during the Biden administration. Trump has mostly just continued Biden’s policies in terms of Israel/Palestine.

    What has improved is that the Democratic party has moved majorly to the left on the issue of Gaza. The base has completely turned on Israel. The candidates are slowly changing their stances. Progress is being made.

    But it took Democrats actually losing the general election over Gaza for this to happen. The party chose to skip the primary and forced all pro-Gaza voices out of the room. Their arrogance cost them an election they should have won. And as a response, real change is happening.

    The folks who said, “voting against Biden will do nothing for Palestine” were flat-out wrong.

      what a self absorbed, ghoulish take on the deaths trump has goaded bibi onto.

      well you showed the dems and now things are going great!

      I don’t know what I was expecting from a scientist made of wood. Lignin for brains I guess.
