Neoliberals wanna argue that it's us socialists/communists playing "Purity Politics". Yet it's neoliberals saying if we don't unconditionally comply with them we deserve to die. They argue we want a perfect candidate. Let's look at what we've asked for:
LGs selfishly put trans people in the crosshairs, especially after we led the charge for TBLG+ rights. Gen X blew an amazing economy to enrich themselves and focus entirely on themselves. Then they demand we listen to them.
You ain't shit.
This is how you get Trump. By "taking the high road". By being a feckless coward who doesn't immediately jail fascists. By refusing to hold anyone accountable.
Fuck your norms. Fuck your "civility politics". I'm done dying for your brunch.
Withholding votes for Democrats is, mathematically, a way of supporting the GOP. That's what the OP is advocating. Generations of African Americans have voted Democratic, even though some Democrats are racist, because it moved the country in the right direction.
You're not my elder lol. You're not my better. You don't know better than I.
Your shitty politics led us here. I wouldn't take advice from you on what cough medicine to use, let alone political.
Sit the fuck down. You losers fucked everything up and now we get to clean up your mess. Again.
You lost those rights cos Dems keep capitulating to Repubs, and running candidates who openly say they support taking your rights away, you worthless Pick-Me loser.
Biden refused to have Trump locked up and then conceded power to him.
Dems let Trump pack SCOTUS by refusing to push through
leftist judges, and refused to force aging Dem justices to retire. RGB alone helped usher in the new R SCOTUS by clinging to power until she died while Trump was in office.
Clinton propped up Trump, then ran a dogshit campaign that got him elected. Dems refused to hold a Primary in 2024, and
forced Harris on everyone, then blew her campaign apart to let Trump win again.
Fuck you. Fuck all of you. You held the door open for this hti and now you want to yell at everyone who told you to close the fucking door.
I'm not giving up my rights for you.
My rights, or else.
Pick. Fast.
Yes it fucking does. They're literally saying they plan to take away our rights. And it isn't just white trans people. It's Black trans people. Brown trans people. Hispanic trans people. Indigenous trans people.
Stop saying it's okay for Dems to do shit we yell at Repubs for doing.
Y'all the ones who shoved through anti-trans, unpopular, absolutely stupid politicians who threw Black and trans people under the bus, but we're bad for not helping you run them over.
Okay.
Just going to say that fascism isn’t ever defeated. Elections may result with more progressive politicians, but those certainly won’t defeat it. The fight against fascism must be ongoing all of the time with various strategies by communities doing the work.
Trans folks and allies:
This stuff will make you want to sit out. That's the point. You already know what we're up against, and will all be in the camps BECAUSE we sit out.
Is this even a real account?
This isn't going to poll well, but I think some of the online trans activists turn them off. I remember the online mob that went after JK Rowling. It's one thing to harshly and repeatedly criticize a person who clings to bigotry (they deserve it). But it's another to carry on a pogrom for YEARS.
'i will get trannies to vote democrat by calling them racist'
okay well a lot of trans ppl, probably the majority globally, are not white and also pointing out how segregation is bad is not making a mockery of segregation
like the hoops, the gymnastics, you blue maga dorks are doing to get to that
The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.
You can change Democrats minds, the GOP wants you dead. The Dems are just cravenly chasing their voters. The Overton window is moved by the party in power. If Trump is removed we can shift the national consciousness left again.
Oh right. That's why I wanted to quit social media. The absolute entitlement of people in this day and age. You'd almost think the second amendment protected what Charlie Kirk did ("debating") instead of what ended up happening to Charlie.
Im black before Im an American
Im queer before Im an American
Im disabled before Im an American
Im only American in the sense that I was born here and am now trapped here against my will
Fuck the US. I cant wait for this government to fall
It was rape. He raped her. He used his position of power to coerce her into sex. That is rape. That is sexual abuse. That is sexual predation.
And it wasn't the first time he raped someone. He's also in the Epstein Files.
Stop glazing sexual predators cos they're Dems.
When Clinton was president he had a consensual* sexual encounter with a willing adult and it was just about the only thing the country heard about for the better part of a year.
*sort of, more or less, it's hard to evaluate given the power dynamics involved

I agree but would go even further--no votes for *any* anti-trans Democrat, and zero support outside of the ballot (volunteering, donations, social media, etc) for any Democrats anywhere who haven't condemned the move to the far-right.
The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people.
I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate.
I make my case here.
