How well did running a Diet Republican against a full fat Republican work in 2024 or 2016?

I’m trans. You want us to support someone who wants to build a country without room for us in it. I will not do so, regardless of whether that’s a blue or a red candidate.

Cool. Then republicans will win again, and again, and again

cool, maybe it's time to try running D that anyone wants to vote for instead blaming voters for not wanting to deep throat the boot while it's standing on them

They already do. And frankly, fuck you for caring more about winning than about human rights.

you got your dream campaign of throwing those icky minorities you hate under the bus to appeal to republicans last year, friend. you promised big strong Mr. Trump you'd build his wall and kill every palestinian Netanyahu told you to. what part of that plan was so successful you want to repeat it.

My cousin is trans, In a huge trumpy family. I’m literally the only family member she can talk to. But I like winning elections. And if a dem is 100% on board YET. They are still 1000 times better in trans issues than any republican asshole. That’s all I’m trying to say.

if Dems keep losing because the minorities they obviously don't care about won't vote for them, then the Dems need to actually fucking earn those votes back that's what campaigning *is*

Oh gosh they have a trans cousin! They deffo must be more right than an actual trans woman saying that slow-walking to genocide with transphobic Dems is still bad! Bud. Pal. Friend. Listen to me: I will not vote for a transphobe. No matter how inconvenient it is to people with more flexible values.

i get that there's a caste of red-state Dem who would gladly sacrifice ANYTHING to free themselves of the pain of being ruled by Republicans. the thing they need to be broken of is the idea that if they just submit enough to their republican friends, that's going to change any part of that equation.

what part about you saying "i will gladly kill my cousin to try to make Donald Trump give me a pat on the head for being a good dog" do you think is going to win you anything, friend. you tried that last year, remember. your reward for killing those people for him was him kicking you in the teeth.

What are you talking about? I’m 100% on all trans people sides. But a lot of people aren’t. Which I think is fucked up. But I’m not going to throw away the entire government cause the nominee isn’t 100% great on that issue. Or any issue

you got your dream strategy, trying precisely that, last year, friend. did it succeed. or did it lead Democrats to the single worst failure they've experienced since 1988.

🎯

“Or any issue”. Anyone in a blue cap will do.

I will drive this country straight into The Hague as long as it’s got the blue bumper sticker on the back!

i wouldn’t personally because i’d be booking tickets to ireland and writing off my home country as inhospitable to trans people like myself, yeah

So if they are 100% on board with how you think. Your a no, right? Did you vote for Obama in 2008 when he was against gay marriage?

i was 8 i was probably playing my PS2 at the time

if the next democratic nominee can’t clear the bar of “not capitulating to the fascists at literally every opportunity” then there literally is not a point of voting for them. fixing this country needs grit and a spine

they don’t have to agree with me on literally everything but “not antagonizing literal children trying to live as themselves” is a pretty low bar to clear, lol

Well, republicans want trans people not to exist anymore. He just doesn’t want them to play sports. I don’t agree with him, but I’m not going to vote because of it.

if you read the post you would notice he also said it made him “change his mind on GAC for children” he’s buying into the hate cynically. what other lies peddled by the far right would he buy into? does that not scare you? why do you feel the need to fall in line before they even roll call?

have some self respect you fucking dweeb. draw a line in the sand now.

you’re doing the lesser of two evils thing but this election hasn’t even been set yet. it’s 3 years away. don’t you want someone who isn’t evil at all?

you’re* a transphobe

☝️💯

Thank you. And no I’m not.

"I don't *want* anti-trans laws, I'm just not at all bothered by them"

Stop derailing with hypothetical future scenarios. Erosion of trans rights is happening right now, if you don't want to talk about it that's fine but let everyone else stay on topic thanks
