    I’m trans. I’d like to not get put in a camp after Emperor Trump abolishes democracy (hyperbole, barely). The Democratic party and Biden in particular are worthless pieces of shit, but you’re insane and/or too privileged to suffer the consequences of another Trump victory if you think refusing to vote for Biden accomplishes anything.

    Every single negative aspect of Biden’s policy would be drastically worse under Trump, and Trump would do a fuckload of additional, Much Worse shit, including Literally attempting to overthrow democracy. Don’t be like the KPD who refused to work with the SPD to fight against fascism until it was too late, the number one priority is always to fight to eradicate fascism, even if it means you have to work with feckless, genocide-enabling liberals. Don’t be a moron.

      I’m trans. I’m not going to vote for other people’s genocide just to maybe protect myself.

      But will we be protected? If my red state decides to forcibly detransition me in Biden’s second term he wouldn’t do shit about it.

        You realize that there are two possible outcomes. Biden wins, and the Palestinian Genocide gets worse or Trump wins and the Palestinian Genocide gets much worse (barring some extenuating circumstance like Netanyahu being overthrown or forced out of power). You’re voting for it either way, including by refusing to vote at all.

          Your claim Trump’s genocide will be “much” worse ring hollow, because you must realize Democrats will look at the election results and realize they need to obstruct Trump’s genocide or face even more losses in 2026. Democrats will become the resistance again, instead of being complicit collaborators.
