There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

    I’ll be sure to save this for when my trans ass is thrown in a gulag by trump and I can show the immigrants in there with me that you thought everything would be same either way.

      I’ll be sure to let you know when Biden deports my gay immigrant husband

      Got a secret for you: The Democrats would run us over with a tank if it were politically convenient. You think a party that’s ok with child murder will protect our marginalized asses? Think again.

        And the fascists would do it gleefully, likely finding additional ways to incorporate cruelty and torture. Anti-electoralism is statistically indistinguishable from supporting the fascists or accelerationism. Accelerationism has no hard data showing that it actually works, only that it increases suffering.

      Biden doesn’t give 2 shits about trans rights…

        He isn’t trying to kill me. He opposes bans of our medical care. If trans rights ended up on his desk, I think he’d sign it. So yeah, I do like him a lot better than the other candidate who literally wants us dead. The difference is subtle but I would rather be alive and lightly supported instead of dead and hated
