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.

        it wasn’t counted for Trump.

        if she had won, you would be praising her as a visionary over Hilary or kamala. and if all the votes for Hillary has gone to get, she would have won.

          And if my aunt had wheels she’d be a bike.

          The green party is a spoiler, and always has been, that only exists to split the vote and let the republicans win. That’s literally how electoral politics works in fptp.

            there is no reason to believe people who voted for Greens would have voted for Democrats.

            Democrats don’t own all votes that don’t go to Republicans. they must earn them. vote splitting is a myth that serves the hegemony.

              You mean aside from the constant drum beat that we should all vote for Joke Stein to send a message to the Democrats every 4 years?

              vote splitting is a myth that serves the hegemony.

              Yeah, that’s what people who don’t understand electoral politics and constantly push spoilers always tell me. Too bad I have a functioning brain that understands math.

              There are only two parties that have a snowballs chance in hell of winning, but keep pretending like letting the Republicans win won’t hurt us all much more. Vote for whomever you want, but stop lying to yourself.
