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.

    How convenient. There’s always an excuse. Anything to avoid the conclusion that sometimes you need to be willing to vote against traitors in the general.

          Credit where credit is due, I went through your moderation history and you are correct and I apologize. Furthermore I think a bunch of the other stuff that got deleted is actually pretty cool too. I really wish you would stop effectively suppressing trans and progressive votes. I know your heart is in the right place (and same for TRAHR, the OP) but at the end of the day when fascists disenfranchise trans people (gerrymandering, ID troubles, mail in suppression, etc.) and when you tell trans people not to vote the result is still the same: trans people have less of a voice and worse fascists getting more power with less pushback.
