So many libs keep telling me if I don’t vote for Biden that Trump will pass all these anti-trans laws that Biden and the Democrats would of course have stopped. I tell them my trans comrades on Hexbear all say I shouldn’t vote for Biden but these libs just keep asking for the proper documentation.

    i'll believe they'll protect trans rights (to anything other than joining the military) when they restore abortion rights, purge student loan debt, do anything about pigs, anything about healthcare, and deschedule weed

      We deeply care about all of those things which is why we're telling you to vote for someone who has been opposed to all of them for his entire career. And if you don't vote for him, we're going to blame you for his loss and laugh as those rights are stripped from anyone in any state that didn't see the brilliance of our strategy.

    If someone is willing to sacrifice Palestinians to win an election, they will just as soon sacrifice trans people or anyone else the moment it becomes convenient. If today it's "But Trump would genocide even more Palestinians, so you have to vote for the guy genociding them," then tomorrow they could just as easily say the same about trans people, or any other group.

    Solidarity across race, gender, nationality, etc is the only real long term strategy for survival for trans people. I'd rather die maintaining that solidarity than survive slightly longer selling comrades down the river and knowing I'm next.

    I don't have a stamp but if you lay the document on the ground I'll approve it

      You can see this right now in both words and actions from Biden and the Dems w/r/t migrants and the border. They were still just as evil, but a decade ago democrats would not have talked about migrants the way Biden is now.

      White Americans are getting even more racist and anti-migrant than they were before. And instead of taking a bold stand for what’s right, Democrats are trying to equal and even exceed the racism of the Republicans because they think to do otherwise will cost them votes. Should LGBTQ rights become less popular among certain demographics, why should we believe the Democrats will act any different than they are now with the border?

        and they literally bragged about deporting more people than trump.

        doomjak border fascism is bipartisan, how long before somebody does crimes or one of those trans women in sports panics gets traction and "polite" gender fascism becomes bipartisan like in ukkk ?

    Sure, gnc poc from a Muslim immigrant family here to say: I and every genderqueer poc I know are far more disturbed by the Democratic Party's murderous and genocidal foreign policy than we are at whatever anti-trans laws Trump may pass. Loss of rights <<<<< being bombed and starved. We stand in solidarity with the victims of the American Empire in Palestine. Fuck Joe Biden, and fuck the liberal fascists who tokenize us to excuse their genocide.

    I only see white people freaking about Trump because they center their comfort and privilege over the brown lives that Genocide Joe is snuffing out. I don't know a single person of color willing to vote for racism and genocide.

    Not only do I say it's OK not to vote for Biden, I say it is immoral to vote for him. You can tell those liberal gaslighters I told you that if you vote for Biden you're basically a Nazi KKKlansman who hates nonwhite people

    As the CEO of trans people, I will come out and endorse the message that trans people do not have to vote for Biden, and I will be officially issuing you an individualized stamp that you can show to trans libs who are unaware of this groundbreaking moment in my career as the CEO of trans people.

    Thank you.

    Not @HexBear, but you have my approval to not vote for people who have decades and decades of history of supporting policies that actively harm marginalized people and continue to actively support things like genocide and putting children "illegals" in cages.

      Not voting Biden is voting for trump, but not voting Trump is a vote for Biden!

      And that's voting twice, which is voter fraud. You're under arrest.

      If Republicans are this dangerous, the Democrats should enact laws to stop Republicans from existing or running in elections whatsoever. If the only tool is voting, you've already permitted fascists to gain power. And if they're fascists, they're not going to abide by elections anyway. Best thing to do is organize outside of the boundaries of bourgeois elections

      Voting for Biden says you want to keep your current rights

      Does not compute. What concrete steps has he taken to stop the loss of rights of trans people in multiple states under his presidency? Did he start a 'task force'?

      Voting for Biden says you want to keep your current rights and possibly gain some rights, if democrats can gain a majority in the House and a larger majority in the Senate.

      Weird, I don't remember ANY of that happening when Democrats had both chambers and the presidency

      Thanks to Biden’s lack of leadership on trans issues, the Democrats who have been fighting back have been forced to do so at the state level. So the states that need the pushback the most get it the least. The Republicans have an organized strategy working in lock step with national leadership. The Democrats can’t say the same and that’s the fault of Democratic leadership, including Biden. He doesn’t get to claim us as a win.
