Trans journalist Erin Reed has published a list of Democratic midterm candidates with anti-trans records, and the question she is forcing is one the party would rather not answer: if trans voters keep rewarding Democrats who harm them, what signal does that send? The calculation is real, the stakes are high, and there is no clean answer.
There are way more people now and voting numbers are atrocious. Almost 1/3 decides to stay home and not vote. Over 10% of those registered don’t show up either.
Not voting because you don’t have an ideal candidate is definitely part of the problem. Keep voting dems and pull them left via primaries and giving them a chance. Stop voting republicans in whole only go farther right.
Its not a hard concept
It’s not a hard concept because it’s a fucking fantasy and isn’t mapping to reality at all
You pushing people to vote 3rd party for a 0% chance to win in a very close race where Dems finally might win a seat in Texas after decades of republican control and loss of rights is just insane and anti everyone including Trans rights.
Seriously fuck of with that logic. Vote for Talarico or don’t complain and don’t be surprised with a horrible outcome.
I am not pushing people to vote third party. I am pushing people to shut down the economy with a general strike, occupy the halls of power, abolish the Senate entirely, and rebuild the country. Because anything less will continue the atrocities.
