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?

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?
