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.

    Just what the world needs. Attacks on the left wing to help justify Republicans again…

    It’s bullshit posts like this which is why Trump won the last election.

    Left wingers made such a huge deal about a single issue, that they didn’t vote, and allowed a convicted sex offender to win, who has LITERALLY now personally authorised direct war crimes

    There’s a billion fucking reasons to vote for Dems regardless. I’m in Australia, but visited America recently, and I realised, many American’s don’t even realise half of the shit thats happening caused by Trump in and outside their country.

    Trump is attacking Trans people on a daily basis, whereas, democrats aren’t. There is a huge difference, even for trans people. The idea that every single person in the party, needs to support EVERY single request by select communities to approve of them is crazy.

    Its one reason also why compulsory voting (and preferential voting) works so well here in Australia. Because it forces people to pick the BEST candidate and it also allows them to pick the one they want (because, your preferences get prioritised)

        Absolutely.

        It’s like writing articles "Hitlers opposition sucks because they blocked the building of 3 synagogues. Never mind the other 150 they approved, its those 3 that are important…

        Oh, but they’re still better than the others, so vote for them, but complain about it until the election, which totally won’t discourage them in a country where voting isn’t mandatory

        Also, just remember, the personal opinion of 2 senators is what matters.
