    Like I said in the comment chain down the line, Democrats in my state have passed trans sanctuary state laws, and this has happened in other blue states as well. Meanwhile red states go the other direction. This to me is enough of a material difference to matter. An unfortunate number of things are the exact same under Biden, and I'm aware of all of them. But the trans rights issue alone (which Biden has actually taken some action on, not anywhere near sufficient enough action, but enough for me to call it a material difference) is enough of a difference maker for me and I'm not even trans.

    Like do you know what I'm referring to when I talk about Project 2025? Because its actually genuinely terrifying stuff.

    I mean like I said, do you. It doesnt materially matter in a huge enough way for me to care. I overall agree that the American system will continue "trucking alone" whether or not you participate, and you're just one person. I dont actually care if you vote. I just want to make my position clear and also understand yours.

        Well, you should probably google it. Can't hurt to be aware. I dont think its a very online thing either. Its the GOP's entire agenda for the next few years.

        Yeah I mean, thats my point? Heavily blue states are making themselves sanctuary states. This to me is a sign of the material difference between Democrats and Republicans. Idk what that response was meant to say. Like, yeah, whats going on in your state sucks. But it doesnt contradict my point.

        I've seen a few examples of EOs Biden has put out regarding trans rights, but I dont have all of them available, here's just one: https://www.texastribune.org/2022/06/15/joe-biden-texas-transgender-care/

        Like I said, far from sufficient, but it is to me a material difference. If it isnt for you, thats your prerogative, particularly as a trans person.
