Who wouldnt prefer their desktop to guess what they want it to do?

Because im also a trans (non binary) person. Because I also care about all humans on this earth. Because the more people a candidate supports, the easier it is to get them to support more groups. . . I dont know how to explain to you that you should care about the well being of more than just one people

Talarico would still be a safer choice for trans people than Ken Paxton but totally, saying people should not vote for Talarico is the choice that doesnt play with the lives of real-life trans people like we dont matter

Yeah and the author is wrong

Shopping is an awful analog to elected office

What a fun hypothetical you just made, now do a real one with the two people who have the capability to win the senate seat in Texas where you look at detailed policy distinctions across every issue that will affect real humans

Right, because choosing the person who will impose fewer barriers to the most marginalized amongst us in a real election between two real humans that will materially impact every american as well as the whole planet for the next 6 years minimum is siding with the oppressor.

I also agreed that its a shit strategy that politicians should avoid. That doesnt mean you, the voter, should let the greater evil win because the lesser evil was dumb and shitty. The greater evil is even dumber and shittier and needs to be stopped.

You know I read the same article you did, right? I just concluded that the author was wrong because every time the USA tries anything other than voting blue in the last 70 years, it consistently leads to worse outcomes for everyone, especially the LGBT. Its not illiterate to read something and come to a different conclusion. The author is wrong, and ive states some of the reasons why too. Why not engage with the reasons instead of just skipping to calling me illiterate?

Dems are more likely to fund literacy programs too. Which, funnily enough, raises empathy which generally benefits trans people as well

It is electorally stupid to throw trans people under the bus. That said, harming fewer people SHOCKINGLY harms fewer people. Vote blue.

Is the undocumented black disabled Trans woman in your city safer under the leadership of someone who is a bigot in all regards, or is she safer under the leadership of someone who is transphobic but otherwise supportive? If you cant tell the difference, then you dont mind throwing black children, disabled people, undocumented immigrants into extra harm because you couldnt see the difference. Its wrong to be transphobic, and its electorally stupid to be a bigot of any kind, but im not an opp, im still voting blue because I still see the differences.

Yeah i saw that it was covered in the essay and thats why I said it. Its wrong to oppose Blue No Matter Who in the general, and no amount of reasoning makes it not opp behavior

If you oppose blue no matter who in the general election, I dont care about your opinions because, intentionally or not, you’re just an opp

Peeping tom promises to only look at victims bodies, and never identify them by their faces

Thats wild because he was with me at the time of the murder unfortunate death of that ceo
