      Democrat voters if he wins the primary: most important election of our lifetime, we need to elect him so the other guy that’s exactly like him doesn’t get elected

          If he’s the candidate, I’m sitting the election out. Look, my community is under an attempted genocide right now. And as we’ve seen from the Starmer government in the UK, a nominally liberal government can be just as bad for trans rights as any Republican government. When Newsom says “be more culturally normal,” that is a dogwhistle for “take away the human rights of trans people.”

          If the party isn’t willing to fight for my civil rights, sorry, I don’t owe you shit. You chose to do nothing after they first came for me, so I will laugh when they come for you.

            Yep, this is how we keep shifting right. I don’t care how much it smells, when it comes down to the actual election, hold your nose and vote to shift left.

            This mentality was super effective in 2024 at stopping the worst president of our lives from gaining power.

              Again, I don’t care. You vote to throw me and my people on the pyre, you can all go to Hell as far as I’m concerned. We can all burn together.

            Honestly, at this point I don’t blame you. If this is the dogsh*t the Dems consider a reasonable compromise then the Union has fallen.
