I do fight for that. But if the eventual nominee doesn’t align 100% with my views, I’m not going to abandon everyone else and my other views because of that.

Literally arguing for 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler rather than 0% Hitler.
Youre not fighting if you're compromising. You're doing less bad fascism in the hopes of stalling the worse fascism. Has that ever historically worked out as anything but more fascism? Did you know that Hitler wasn't voted into power? It was compromise in the hopes he'd settle down. Did that work?
You do understand how a two party system works, right? You fight for you candidate in the primary. If they don’t win, you’re down to two choices. You’d rather not vote and help elect an actual fascist republican.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY THIS TO YOU? ARE YOU NOT READING IT OR ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB? If you show you are willing to vote for genocide, or for sacrificing rights, that's what you get every time. Holding your vote hostage AT ANY COST is the ONLY way to push democrats to support those rights.
So instead of supporting fascist institutions and moving right, we stand firm no matter what they do to us because we DO NOT COMPROMISE ON HUMAN RIGHTS or else we will lose ALL HUMAN RIGHTS for EVERYONE who isn't a WHITE MAN. ITS NOT A SINGLE ELECTION YOU FUCKING CLOWN.
Withholding your vote helped lead to the current fascist administration. We’ll be lucky if there is an election in 2028 the way things are trending. But you probably don’t care since you don’t vote anyway.
TRUMP WAS ALREADY PRESIDENT YOU FUCKING CRETIN AND VOTING FOR THE LESSER EVIL GOT US HERE I have been VERY clear the extent to which I care you dishonest piece of shit, but please do exhibit the degree to which you're intentionally missing the point and refusing to understand what has been said.
Normally when people fight for stuff they don't say "yeah I'm willing to give this up". No wonder the Dems are in the state they're in now.
Then show me the perfect candidate. I’ve been waiting for that answer.
The "perfect" candidate is settling, basic human rights is settling, this is compromise. But YOU are unwilling to stand up for basic human rights, preferring to compromise on human rights and effectively make them meaningless. Do you think the compromising will stop at trans people?

pritzker, beshear, aoc, there's dozens of people better. you're choosing to defend the only one who has advocated for ending trans healthcare for adults.
Pritzker hasn’t vocalized support for Medicare for all. He’s worth $3.6 billion. That isn’t perfect. However, he is clearly one of the best, if not the best candidate. He’s fighting for sure and would be my #1 right now. That proves my point that no candidate will 100% align with your beliefs.
Who's healthcare is Pritzker advocating to take away?
None, to my knowledge. But if you worked on that reading comprehension, you’d see that he’s my #1 candidate.
Great! He's someone I would vote for then. See how easy it is?
He’s someone I’d vote for, too. Let’s put our support behind him in the primary and instead of wasting time fighting.
I agree, trying to fight about why trans people should vote against their own rights is a massive waste of time! It's a conversation that shouldn't even be had! So why have you spent all afternoon fighting with people about supporting him?
because jon "L" box is a transphobe
yeah and none of them have advocated for ending trans healthcare for adults. newsom openly said he didn't want under-25s getting trans healthcare. but you're fine with that!
Which is exactly why I support any of them over Newsom. But, again, IF Newsom somehow won the primary, he’d get my vote in the general. I hope it doesn’t come to that.
if you promise to vote for him in the general, you make it more likely for him to win in the primary. how do you not understand that?
