And people act like I’m some kind of crazy person when I say that when you resolve to vote blue no matter who, you only incentivize the blue candidates to appeal to republicans. I just didn’t expect it to be this overt
vote blue no matter who
Is a last resort
Not even the democrats believe in that bullshit
Certainly not Haley Stevens. The “I see Israel in my dreams” lady just endorsed Abdul El-Sayed’s Republican opponent still saying she is a proud Democrat without any sense of irony.
Nor does the party at large, they actively work against their own members, if the members are considered “too progressive”. They fund MAGA opponents in several races.
As an outside observer it seems like every blue is better than red, the best strategy is choosing which blue before the election.
For sure, but it’s hard to overstate just how much influence the DNC has. Every blue is better than every red, but by resolving to vote blue no matter what their actual positions are, we are trading short term harm reduction for long-term harm multiplication.
Before long we’re going to have the DNC force in a candidate who wants to jail trans people, and they will be slightly preferable to the republican who wants trans people executed. I want to avoid that eventuality, and that means demonstrating that being against human rights loses you the leftist vote.
ITT: A whole lot of piefed, .word, and .ca accounts just go and completely mask off. They hate trans people and they want you to know it.
Ummm actually acknowledging reality is russian propaganda and youre only allowed to say anything mean about Democrats for about two weeks after the election. As we all know if you dont say anything negative then republicans aren’t allowed to do it either. My strategy of voting for democrats and never making any demands of them is incredibly realistic, just look at how much we’re winning and all the progressive genocide we’re doing!
Will the blue libs finally stop pestering to vote for the lesser evil?
You have about 1.5 weeks from today on where you are allowed to be midly critical of some dems - But you have to admit it’s too soon since they just got elected
Akshually, If all the genocidee had died quietly instead of moaning and crying so loudly, Democrats could’ve wrapped up the genocide quicker.
Also, the anti-genocide (aka aunty-semites since Gazans are semitic people) didn’t listen to the orders of The Party. Vote Blue No Matter Who! Which is how you got Donald Trump. Donald is Not an ally of the trans people. By extension, all anti-genocide aunties of semites automatically hate trans people.
Basically, the anti-genocide protesters are transphobic for refusing to vote blue unconditionally.
Vote Blue No Matter Who otherwise you’re a transphobe.
Yeah, never going to vote for someone who rejects the existence of my friends. I’ll vote for someone else and if there is no one to vote for I will draw a giant knob on the sheet in protest of the shit choices.
This is the same exact losing strategy the centrist democrats have been attempting to use for the last 20 years. They want “broad appeal” which basically means virtue signalling to bigoted republican voters who are going to mechanically vote for the person with the R next to their name no matter what any democrat says or does. And yet, they keep trying and turning their backs on the left as if to say, “we don’t need you to win”.
Until these awful people are ejected from the democratic party or the DSA gains more momentum, this bullshit is just going to keep happening.
They’re not “attempting to use it”. It’s working well for them, their goals just aren’t what you imagine they are.
*in America, your centrists are just wearing a mask.
- FInd a Democrat who hates trans people.
- Turn that into The Democrats are trans-hating fascists!!
- Airtight rationale for not voting!
Well alrighty then.
Yeah its just this one candidate. And AOC. And Gavin Newsom. And Kamala. And a bunch others. Not to mention Democratic Party members consistently work alongside MAGA

Transpeople are all biological males? The trans men will be pleased to hear it.
Its only chicks with dicks that scare the right. I don’t think they know about F2M trans men.
They know about trans men, but they view them all as easily manipulated, wayward girls, who’s fertility is being stolen by the evil trans agenda.
Just look at the cover of Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. It’s the most mask off libidinal shit you’ve ever seen
The fact that it’s a “Craze”, that it “Seduces” and that the cover has a Norman Rockwell style image of a little girl with a gaping hole where her ostensible womb ought to be. Sigmund Freud would have a field day with this trash!!
I know that what I said isn’t the literal truth. I work in a relatively conservative male dominated workplace and people who removed about trans things are ONLY bringing up M2F. It’s what they’re most worried about.
And the transgender seducers are transwomen, or implied to be.
They do, and want to fix them to turn them back into women. That’s how the right talks about them.
“fix” is a weird way to say “rape”.
Yes, that’s what it is.
They are terrified that a woman in a male body is still more masculine than they are.
Folks can we please treat “trans” like the adjective it is. I’m not a “transwoman” or a “transperson” I am a woman and a person, and I am trans, I am also tall. A trans woman, a trans person. A tall woman, a tall person.
ok tallperson
Y’know what I asked for that one fair play
As a tall person this made me chuckle.
We aren’t people, we’re transpeople, we aren’t (wo)men, we’re trans(wo)men, we aren’t our gender, we identity as our gender, and we don’t have pronouns, they’re “preferred pronouns.”
That’s what the transphobes would like the world to believe, yup :(
No compromise on Trans rights.
No compromise on genocide, either.
Its semantics but please elaborate on what you like done. Just so I know what we are talking about.
Trans rights is clear to me. Trans people are afforded the same rights as everyone else and cant be discriminated against base on their gender identification.
Are we saying, no funding for any country that participates is genocide? No trade?
What if we just said america shouldnt make weapons of war? Do you even know who the neo-libs were?
No weapons of war, no support for any country that commits genocide. The U.S won’t ever do that because it’s an imperialist country, so their government should be hindered in their foreign policy at every opportunity.
Ok, but america isnt the only country to participate in imperialism. How do we protect our sovereignty from hostile imperialist countries?

Fuck my sovereignty… ok nm, Im not interested in your opinion.
Anarchists arent delusional. Sorry someone gave you that impression.
"The thing that I thought might be good for starting it off is to talk about one of the most pervasive beliefs in the general society about the nation of Islam. And that is that it is an organization dedicated to the use of violent means to attain its goals. The question I have is how true is this? And why do you think it persists in society?
Well, the Muslims who have accepted the religion of Islam and follow the religious guidance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad have never bombed any churches, have never murdered any little girls, as was done in Birmingham, have never lynched anybody, have never at any time been guilty of initiating any aggressive acts of violence.
During the entire 33 years or more that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has been teaching us, the charge of violence against us actually stems from the guilt complex that exists in the conscious and subconscious minds of most white people in this country.
They know that they know that they have been violent in their brutality against Negroes. And they feel that someday the Negro is going to wake up and try and do unto them as they have done unto, do unto the whites as the whites have done unto us.
We aren’t a violent group. We are taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to obey the law, to respect everyone who respects us. We’re taught to display courtesy, to be polite.
But we’re also taught that at any time anyone in any way inflicts or seeks to inflict violence upon us, we are within our religious rights to retaliate in self-defense to the maximum degree of our ability. We never initiate any violence upon anyone. We never initiate any violence upon anyone. But if anyone attacks us, we reserve the right to defend ourselves.
So to accuse us of being violence is like accusing a man who is being lynched, who is being hung on a tree, simply because he struggles vigorously against his lyncher. The victim is accused of violence, but the lyncher is never accused of violence.
And I only point this out because the various racist groups that are set up in this country by whites and who have actually practiced violence against blacks for 400 years are never associated or identified or made synonymous with the term violence. But whites speak of Muslims almost synonymously with violence. Whenever Muslims are mentioned by them, violence is brought up.
But not, but it’s not connected with any other group. This is a sort of a propaganda tactic or what I would call psychological warfare to in some way make the image of the Muslims in this country be a violent image rather than a religious image."
Don’t quote Malik el-Shabazz at me, he would have correctly and proportionately told you to “shut the fuck up, kkkrakkker” too.
The BEST way for Democrats to Gain Power is to
Cater to People who LOVE voting Democrat!Cater to People who want to MURDER DEMOCRATS!-Literally Democrats!
Literally true when half of their voters are committed to voting for them no matter what their policies are. The actual best strategy is to move to the right. “Vote blue no matter who” was always going to lead to this
Sad thing is, it’s kind of true (or at least was). In a two party system, its not a bad strategy to try gain electors from the other party, as the ppl more radically from your side will vote for you rather than the other party. Now then, the political spectrum and Overton window shifted so much to the right that it is not sufficient to just exist and be the “lesser evil”.
Its not. In a 2-party system, the parties geneally move to equalize around a 50-50 split of the population. However, in a country where around half the eligiable voters show up, voter turnout is a much bigger lever to pull. Obama and Trump both figured that out. Alienating your base is the opposite of smart.
No. It’s literally a bad strategy. Elections are about to turn out. The best way to win elections is to get your base to come out to vote. When you literally threaten their lives and threaten the lives of people they care about they’re going to stay home.
You know why you preach to the choir? Because that’s how you get them to sing.
Their brilliant strategy is to come to a black church and arrogantly tell the choir “if you don’t vote blue no matter who, then you ain’t black!”
Less than half of the electorate votes, yet the democrat strategy is to try to appeal to the one group of people who make it very clear they’re going to vote for the other team.
This is not a good strategy, as can be seen by how rarely it works (and even when it works it is by a slim margin)It depends on how they gain people from the other party. The Democrats could gain them by giving them better health-care, or fewer wars, or by making the rich pay taxes, or by providing affordable housing, or by improving their jobs.
But the Democrat strategy is to gain them by supporting genocide, and attacking marginalized groups.
When this removed lose the first voting block theyll throw under the bus is transfolk.
I used to get so angry that minorities would vote against their interest in dems, but then I started to work towards becoming a better ally and realized how infuriating it must be for these privileged fucking centrists constantly vote against minority group interests and then beg minorities to show up when Trump started negatively impacting everyone’s way of life. When will the lesson be learned that we all do better when we all support one another?
I am a little frustrated, because I’ve been saying for like 3 years. If they didn’t stop at genocide than they’ll be nothing they won’t compromise on. Back in 2023 I was arguing with other trans people saying that the liberals weren’t on their side and they would throw them under the bus the moment it became politically acceptable to do so. Being dependent on a liberal party is more like being held hostage instead of gaining actual power.
Constantly chastising people that they have to support liberal politics anyway, even if they’re doing imperialism (which isn’t at all new), just normalizes that those horrible things will always happen and cannot be changed, they’re just politically acceptable. Like it actually makes me feel like I’m going insane that genocide has become a normal, acceptable position, that we’ve realized after Palestine that most of the entire establishment are a bunch of Holden Bloodfeasts and things just keep going. Like, no, we’re frogs in a pot of water being boiled. Imperialism isn’t normal or okay.
the liberals weren’t on their side and they would throw them under the bus the moment it became politically acceptable to do so
So you decided to ally with Trump instead?
US elections are a zero sum game with two sides and only two sides
That means all anti-dem propaganda in the election is pro-rep propaganda
If you’re saying to support socialists like Abdul in the primaries, I agree with you. But you’re not saying that. You’re saying not to trust Dems to be any better than Reps. That’s Rep propaganda. The rules of the game say you’re accidentally helping Trump.
There will never be a third party, the maths on FPTP don’t support it. And you’re not campaigning for voter reply reform. You’re campaigning for people to abstain and let Trump have two more years of supermajority.
You’ve already had a chance to educate yourself on the maths of FPTP. Whether your bad faith is moral or intellectual doesn’t matter, you’re a fascist collaborator and you’re attacking our rights as trans people. I have family in America and I don’t want them to die, so be quiet.
This is liberal yaKKKubian tricknology make people believe that advocating for dual power is a bad thing. I’m not impressed that you’re quite literally trying to emotionally manipulate people into thinking that if you don’t support the Dems they’re murderers or some shit. That only makes sense if you collapse of all reality into two outcomes “democrats win” and “republicans win.” That’s like absolutely defeatist, believing the only options that exist are government approved ones. that kind of attitude will let horrors go on forever without ever being challenged, I would genuinely rather die than just lie down and accept that. I support worker power so that both parties can’t oppress us and we can stop them from terrorizing the rest of the world.
Shut up about your votes, I know you’re being manipulative. You say that they’re the lesser evil, but I guarantee you actually like liberals and just want people to stop talking about how they also kill people.
I AM trans, and no government has never actually supported me, I seriously doubt the effectiveness of the legal system in helping us, I got my medication from mutual aid, and other trans people are how I survive, the liberal party where I live has done none of this, the government’s medical care is basically our enemy, I’ve been underdosed for years by my endocrinologist. You shut the fuck up about trans people. I disapprove of using our name to support genocidal liberals.
You are the fascist collaborator. Fuck the democrats, and fuck AmeriKKKa. I have friends in Iran and Lebanon and I don’t want them to die. I’ve never seen Americans get shredded to pieces by bombs and displaced by the millions, all of you fucking Westerners will be fine by comparison even if the Republicans win again, you’ll do fine. Maybe you people deserve to see just a fraction of what that’s like after supporting it.
Mutual aid is great! But we’re talking about an election in two days. If you write the name of the mutual aid group on your ballot, you’ve abstained.
People with the vision and strategy to do the right thing at the right time do mutual aid. People like us distribute hormones. People like you just complain on the internet. I’m glad that we strategists got you those hormones, but it doesn’t make you a warrior. It just makes you alive.
So if you’re not going to attend a protest or paint a crosswalk or run in a primary or get an over prescription, please be quiet and let the strategists work. We don’t need you making our work harder. It’s not gonna be as easy to distribute hormones if Trump declares martial law, and that’s what you’ve been helping.
The strategists decided that the best course of action is to tell anti-genocide protesters to stfu about genocide and vote blue no matter who. As well as yelling at genocidee to stfu and get genocided quietly.
Brilliant strategy. Did you guys try “Orange Man Bad” or telling voters “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” Or not yet?
You’re not an anti-genocide protester, you’re a lying whinger. In order to be a protester, you have to actually get out of your bed and go to a protest. This isn’t a protest, it’s a whinge. And it may well be a successful whinge in its goal of getting people to stay home so Trump can run for a third term and you can have that trans genocide you’re desperate for.
So of course I’m getting to tell you to STFU, you genocide supporter. Every minute you’re arguing with Me in the bowels of this comment section is a minute you’re not talking to potential voters. You’re never going to stop trying to kill trans people, but at least you can be trying to talk Me into killing My family instead of someone who might listen to your lies.
Right. We’re all supposed to ignore the actual genocide carried out under the supervision and support of the Democrats and pretend anyone not willing to blindly support the genocide enabling democratic party is “desperate for trans genocide” lol.
Do you know if Democrats regret stealing the presidency from Bernie Sanders?
These are midterms. Every election is local. Every district has different candidates. Unless you have points about a specific race, you’re not discussing the election, just partisan vibes. FPTP is applied to each individual race, not the aggregate that make up legislatures.
A transphobe is not on our side regardless of their listed party preference. In my experience, bigots never pick party over prejudice. I live in america and care about my own safety. FPTP is an insidius system that forces us to pick the least bad option.
I don’t think its a good thing to be accusing other politically engaged trans people of being fascists for making the best choice they are able given the specifics of of their ballot just because it goes against your broad strokes view that ignores them.
Have some sympathy for your siblings these are bad times for us.
Trans people ain’t abstaining on Tuesday, it’ll be the cis people who are willing to let us all die so they can feel like the purest ally.
There’s going to be a lot of people that don’t vote for various reasons, and while I want them all to vote, I understand that the opposition isn’t doing enough to make encourage people to vote.
I believe in free will. People are responsible for their own actions. Joe Biden is a shithead, but he doesn’t have a mind control beam to force people to stay home.
That’s why I believe trans people will vote in greater proportion than cis people.
Ever stop to think that maybe she’s not a Democrat but running as one? Do you seriously think MAGA and the republicans are above planting their own amongst us??
Divisionism is what wins them elections. And divisionism is what is preached here every fucking day. That’s what I’m fucking tired of.
Well if she’s a republican plant then what’s the problem with not voting for her?
There’s not even a little problem with not voting for her. The point is that people are holding her beliefs against the entire party like idiots.
Well I can agree with that. It is more of the party than I’m comfortable with certainly, but not all.
If you think this removed is a republican plant based on her transphobia then whewwwww buddy are you gonna be shocked when you discover how many top ranking dems are actually Republicans.
Calling out bigotry is not divisionism. The big tent party has enough room for everyone that wants to join, the only problem is there are too many empty chairs reserved for moderate Republicans that don’t like trump, as a result, there’s no seats for trans folk.
“doctor”
EDIT: Uh-oh, she’s a pediatrician who hates trans people? I don’t like where this is going. Probably an island somewhere.
EDIT 2: This “doctor” is almost tied in the polls with Darlene Graham https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_election_in_South_Carolina#Polling_5
EDIT 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Andrews_(pediatrician)#Policies_and_viewpoints "In an October 5, 2026, Truth Social post, Trump used anti-LGBT slurs against Andrews, calling her “Annie removed”. Andrews is not transgender.[31] The post was widely condemned.[32][33] Several days after Trump’s post, Andrews released an ad saying that she opposed “biological men playing women’s sports” and would not allow “gender surgery for minors”.
This is fucking crazy. I’ve seen others do this before. Trump threw a slur at her and she basically said “Actually, thank you Donald, I’m on your side!”
What’s important part is that we give these few assholes all the attention right before voting day.
Wouldn’t it be more effective right AFTER the voting day so that they don’t lose to the worse and bigger assholes?
You would think!
You would really think.
No, it’s more effective to do it before voting day so more people abstain and Trump gets to keep his supermajority. That way, he can amend the constitution and run for a third term. That’s OP’s goal.
OP will claim to be a leftist and an ally. They will claim it.
They are fascists they don’t just “compromise”.
“compromise” is the mask they put on before they jump on stage
Blue Conservatives are trash.
Oh for fucks sake. She is running in South Carolina, what the fuck do you want her to do?
I don’t know, maybe have an ounce of solidarity and don’t engage with transphobia. It’s that simple. Even saying you don’t think its a relevant issue to the campaign is better.
If the moral obligation isn’t enough motivation, maybe the studies that recently came out showing tranphobic attacks weren’t even helping Republicans are. It’s not just awful, but also a losing strategy.
I don’t know, maybe have an ounce of solidarity and don’t engage with transphobia.
Yeah … best thing she could do is just not comment on the issue at all, ever. Just don’t engage with the culture war bullshit at all. Any time she’s asked, ignore the question and talk about economic issues or rule of law instead.
“Do you think trans athletes should be allowed in girl’s sports?” --> “What I care about is making sure the American people can afford to buy groceries, making sure they’re not getting unconstitutionally snatched off the street by masked federal agents.”
That’s how you can win from the ‘left’ while in a heavily right-leaning district.
this would realistically be as hated by the right as when democrats deflect questions about universal healthcare or the epstine files
No, it wouldn’t because they also can’t afford to live in this country. They’re pumped full of culture war bullshit so they don’t think about how badly the country is going. This is the correct way to handle culture war bullshit.
Human rights = culture war bullshit to libs now, lol.
You think that banning trans athletes or policing their bodies is a human right? Dude, you’re kinda twisted.
Oh, unless you meant that we should support our trans allies? Yeah, you don’t do that by helping the opposition turn them into a wedge issue. You do that by supporting legislation that protects them and not using them as a human shield come election season.
Yeah, you don’t do that by helping the opposition turn them into a wedge issue. You do that by supporting legislation that protects them and not using them as a human shield come election season.
The Democrats are the ones that did this.
Of fucking course policing someone’s body is a violation of their human rights! What the fuck else would it be?
Why don’t just be honest? Why not just be honest about your bigotry?
I think my comments were pretty clear. Democrats will throw any minority under the bus if they think it will help them win (it never does).
Left isn’t about to win culture wars against religious fanatics.
Those with hate towards Trans people, Hindus, Muslims, Latinos or whichever group they dislike are not going to change because of what anyone from out-group says to them.
Only thing Left can successfully do is not let them pull you into mud wrestling whenever they feel like it. Focus on working class. Trans folks suffer from a high cost of living just the same.
You keep saying left. Who are you talking about?
I this instance, people who oppose MAGA. Even the republican leaning ones. Shitlibs and centrists. Everyone who is sick of their constant culture wars. Annoyed at their obsession with “woke mind virus” while they deny vaccination for actual viruses.
So you don’t know what left means, lol
Just say opposition to the republicans next time.
No.
👍
What did she say that’s transphobic?
If she was afraid of trans… wouldn’t she agree with trans to avoid conflict? Shouldn’t she be fearful of their wrath?
Kinda weird
Phobia = afraid 😒
I wish they were afraid of our wrath
Hah, it went right over my head.
You’re not even good at pretending to be stupid lmao.
Republicans lie all the time to win. If she needs to lie then that’s ok. We can judge her by her voting record after she wins and primary someone better in the next election.
This sort of cynical idea that nobody has any principles or believes in anything is a cancer on society, and politicians lying about their positions makes it worse.
That’s just a lunatic way to go about voting in a democracy. Just vote for them and hope they’re lying when they campaign?
The alternative is to vote for Trump (or by not voting you are voting for Trump). So you still loose trans rights AND EVERY OTHER RIGHT.
It’s not the primaries.
When Trump was running he talked about how he was a big supporter of Gays and Latinos and he won because people are stupid.
Here you have a Democrat doing the same thing to win and you are attacking her.
No, the winning strategy is to run on popular positions that help people, and make their lives better, and deliver on them. But Dems are too busy supporting Trump and the Republicans, while screwing over their voters to care about that.
popular positions
Is it a popular position in that district?
So is ending foreign wars, taxing the rich, changing the economy to benefit the working class, affordable healthcare, and afforable housing. But I don’t see the dems doing that.
So by your logic, we should have voted for Trump and hoped that he was just lying the whole time?
If you are Maga, then yes. If you are Maga, you hear Trump say he supports gays but you know what he really stands for. Magas then used “Trump said he supports gays” when talking to centrists. But they knew what Trump stood for.
Ignoring the obvious point of my question for a lame attempt at a gotcha. Do they teach this at Lib 101? Do they think it actually works?
She is in a conservative district. Lying like Trump obviously works.
Democrats have been lying for decades, and they lose all the time. You know what actually works? Delivering for the voters.
When Ds attack marginalized groups, Rs don’t suddenly vote for them. Instead they take it as confirmation that their bigotry is warranted and acceptable, and then they go vote R anyway
Pulling her head out of her ass would be a good start.
I would like her to act like a decent human being.
Have some solidarity.
“I believe America is great when it protects everyone’s rights. I don’t believe that the government should be in the room meddling when parents make the best choices for their children, and doctors do what’s right for their patients.”
That’s what i want to hear. I want to see Democrats stand for something, and refuse to accept Republicans’ framing of issues.
So, by default, you are saying it’s okay to let trump continue his reign of terror unchecked.
Because that is what your hissy fit is going to cause.
That is such an utterly deranged take.
No, it is the logical outcome of all the people attacking Andrews in this thread.
You may hate Andrews, but trump is a mass murdering, bribe taking, monster. Your actions have consequences, stop pretending they don’t.
I don’t know what you read, but it wasn’t my comment.
…trump is a mass murdering, bribe taking, monster.
Oh, you mean like the Democrats? Especially the ones that are willing to sacrifice trans rights?
I love how libs have to keep making up arguments that nobody made, instead of discussing the actual points that were brought up.
Lemmitors want her to virtue signal, lose, and have the GOP win.
You have ben propagandized to believe that the only way to win is to compromise with fascists
No, we want her to show solidarity, win, and deliver for the working class. But that’s antithetical to the Democratic strategy.
“virtue signaling” is a weird way to say “respect people, even the dangerous scary otherpeople”
I want to stop the Democratic Party from becoming more transphobic so they don’t participate in a bipartisan genocide against me. When you elect transphobic Dems you are empowering that wing of the party, and disempowering the pro-trans rights wing of the party. I will not vote for my genocide.
I’m going to write in a pro-trans runner up from the primary, so when their demon loses, they can see they lost my vote.
Yup!
But since it’s lemmy they are probably all Russian and Chinese’s agitators, or even bots.
But they are definitely pro republican.
Ah yes. We have to be bots or agitators. It couldn’t possibly be that we don’t want to see trans people attacked. 🙄
Hey! Trans is an adjective, like tall or smart. You can (and should) just say “trans people” like “tall people” or “smart people”. Attaching the adjective to the noun, like trans-people or transpeople, implies it is a new thing distinct from the original noun. Have a nice day!
I’ve edited my comment, but I don’t think I understand what you mean by this? How is something like “tall-person” different than “tall person” ?
When its an adjective with no propaganda and vitriol being spewed about it, its murkier. But when you say “trans-(wo)man” or “black-(wo)man” or something like that, even though it is grammatically acceptable I believe, you risk the implication that the object you describe is a distinct, other object from a “normal” (wo)man.
Edit: also, thank you for editing your original comment - not many are as open to feedback
Ah, OK, I think I get it. Thanks for the heads up!
“People who want their candidates to respect their basic human rights are filthy fucking foreigners, or not even human at all.”
If the AntiHitler Party becomes the BlueHitler Party to win against the RedHitler Party, then the people have no choice but to vote for Hitler. A 2 party system is defunct.
So you’re okay with ICE going around shooting people and running them down with SUVs
I’m not, but the Democratic AND Republican parties are

You seem to be proving this point wrong.
Most of them. Yep. That’s what they want. And there’s quite a few here in the comments too.
Yes. That’s what we want. We want you not to throw away human rights so that you can get along with the fascists. That is absolutely 100% correct. We want you to resist that urge you have to kill trans people while putting your arm around your fascist buddy.
We were hoping that you had learned your lesson from history. Learned that this is literally the Nazi Playbook. That you morons have lost this war before with this exact same rhetoric of compromise with the Nazis now by sacrificing the rights of marginalized groups so you can get along. We want you to be better than Nazi Collaborators. Bridge too far for some of you though it seems.
You think these people know history? All they know is brunch lmao.
Look at that! They just come right to you when you call them out, it’s like they don’t even know.
So wait, your smug non-voting “protest”’actually was effective, or it wasn’t? It’s hard to keep track. Because when we blame you for helping to elect trump, you cry and whine how it wasn’t your fault and you we’re not responsible because there wasn’t enough of you.
Yet here you are taking full credit for it.
So pick a lane. Either you brought us trump as a lesson, or you had no hand in his winning the election?
I’ll give you time to consult the hive on this one, as I’d imagine it’s a bit confusing considering that is seems as if the far left hand doesn’t ever seem to know what the russian hand is doing.
For the record and if it helps:
From the perspective of anyone with a brain, whatever your answer- it doesn’t matter. Because you had no idea what the outcome would be when you refused to vote either way. Which means neither is true. From my perspective, you just wanted to surrender your vote because [причины]
Yes, I will absolutely come to you when you call us out for resisting your Nazi ideology. 100% every single time. Please continue to be proud that you’re literally supporting Nazism. I will always be an anti-fascist. No matter how much you hate that it’s never going to change.

Or as I really suspect, it’s just what you always have wanted all along.
