    Well, we are trying to organize around independent candidates that actually support our values, while you scream at us “DO YOU WANT TRUMP? THAT’S HOW YOU GET TRUMP” and insist on voting for Democrats, even when their candidate is not even viable.

    You are supporting genocides, militarized police, the US jail system, US imperialism, etc, while calling yourself an ally and telling us to sacrifice our values and our bodies to protect you from Trump.

    You throw us under the bus and blame us for not supporting your flavor of evil.

      Hey guess what? I’m doing that, too. But when the election comes and I have a choice between more or less evil I will still go for damage control.

      Don’t let perfect get in the way of good. Purists of all strains are fucking cancer.

      Fuck you I’m not and fuck you for thr accusation.

      I’m trans. I’ve been thrown under the bus. All those things you say and that we fight for, are VERY important. And you can do all of them with a democrat in charge easier than you can do them with a magat in charge.

      By the time the fascism gets to “trans levels” for everyone, which is the only perceived positive from accelerating fascism, it will be too late to organize for progressives. It will be time to die in the streets. And I know we are now, I live it too, but today will look like the happiest day imaginable if magats win Congress and the Senate again.

      By the time the majority are motivated by fascism, it is too late.

      Do you think, in the “ashes of revolution” or more likely a foreign country invading, after almost all trans people are already dead from the camps so we make up 0.0001% of the population, do you think at that time there will be a push for trans rights at the top of the agenda?

      Do you think people who watched their kids starve, who are almost dead themselves, sitting in the rubble of their neighborhood, after we were killed first, a distant memory occluded by so many deaths of loved ones, will they say “trans rights are human rights”?

      In the rubble of liberated Germany, they threw us BACK INTO the camps to die.
