Liberals will lie to you and tell you to “just vote in the primary,” but in reality they simply don’t care about trans rights and do not believe there is ever a right time to challenge transphobic Democrats.
First primary: the transphobes hide their colors so you can’t vote against them.
First general election: the snakes reveal their colors, but you can’t vote against the traitors because “blue no matter who.” They tell you to just vote in the next primary.
Second primary: the same people who tell you now “save it for the primary” shift their tune to “we can’t give up an incumbent seat in a purple district!”
Trans people can see through these bad-faith lies. Yet of course, mansplaining trolls will be sure to breathlessly explain “lesser of two evil” math, as if that’s not an argument we haven’t heard a thousand times and already rejected due to its obvious flaws. There’s never a shortage of arrogant cis people who think they know more about trans issues than actual trans people.
Liberals want your votes, not your voices. Be a good little minority and sit down. Shut up. Support the party. You owe the party your support. The party owes you nothing.
Voting for the lesser evil is how we ended up with legalized gay marriage.
“Lesser evil” can be rephrased as “greater good”
You sure about that? If John Kerry had won in 2004, Barrack Obama would not have won in 2008. John Kerry would have had a single uninspiring term as president only to lose reelection to McCain in 2008 after the housing market collapse. We wouldn’t have had to deal with Roberts and Alito on the bench, but in turn we wouldn’t have had Kagan and Sotomayor. In fact, the only two justices Obama appointed replaced Stevens and Souter, both men who were considered to be on the liberal side of the court. Obama replaced two liberal justices with two liberal justices. He did keep the court from sliding more conservative, but Obama was not at all responsible for Obergefell. That ruling was more about shifting national attitudes than it was anything the Democrats did.
