    If this article was before the primaries it would be more helpful and get the right people elected.

    Since this article came out after the primaries and two months before the general it serves only one purpose.

    And it appears your dumbass is taking the bait.

    “I’m not voting because no candidate is perfect and I’ll let the party that views me as property win.” - your dumbass, without a doubt.

      I never said I wouldn’t vote for the Democrats if I could, the article doesn’t say you shouldn’t either, just that the author personnaly wouldn’t

        The article doesn’t need to say it. The author said it and implies other should via the context of the article itself.

        This is the type of shit that makes idiots not vote.

        the article doesn’t say you shouldn’t either,

        The article literally says:

        Many, myself included, have argued against voting for the worst offenders on this list even where it means a Republican takes the seat.

        What part of that says to you “This is what I’m doing, but you shouldn’t do that.” - particularly with the second part of the sentence where it’s clear they are talking about more than a single vote (their vote).

          You’re right that the article doesn’t say “you shouldn’t do that” but that’s not what I’m claiming, I’m saying the article says it’s up to the readers to consider if transphobia is a deal breaker, if it is then I would say the blame is more on those Democrats for being transphobic, than on the people that are against transphobia
