    You do understand that if we don’t get the lesser evil we get the more evil right? It’s not like if discourage voting enough we default to a communist leader.

        Ya, sometimes I comment/reply not with the goal of changing the person I’m replying to, but maybe somebody reading our conversation will think a bit before giving up the game to the fascists just because Biden isn’t a comrade.

        There are many good hearted people on Lemmy that have delusions of successul revolution and are putting vulnerable people at risk with their perfectionism.

        “…when the outcome is all the same” maybe to you, that’s the definition of privilege. I’m a trans woman, my well being is directly connected to who wins, and I’m not the only vulnerable one.

          What exactly have Dems at the federal level done to insure or expand your protections? Doing nothing to prevent harm is the equivalent of doing harm

            You must be young, I transitioned 20 years ago and there have been many many laws passed and repealed and passed again regarding transgender people. Consistently over the decades one party is looking to make life for transgender people difficult and dangerous, the other party is often making laws protecting transgender people, or at least not enacting sadistic laws out of pure hate.
