When Kamala Harris was the AG for California she was forced to defend a lawsuit where a trans woman in prison for murder wanted the state to pay for reassignment surgery. I was told that by supporting Harris I was transphobic and I should just admit it.
Here’s what I’ll admit: trans people who didn’t support the Harris ticket as if their life depended on it fucked up.
Seriously, “fuck Democrats”? Okay Dude, I can see you don’t want to be cheered up - c’mon Donny let’s go get us a lane.
The democrats did this to all of us. When you facilitate genocide for over two years, while calling the people protesting it violent antisemites, you lower voter turnout.
When you get elected by people who need healthcare, housing, and student loan relief, and you end covid protections, you lower voter turnout.
When you get elected by people expecting police reform and freeing the immigrant camps, and you increase deportations and endorse diverting covid funds to police budgets, you lower voter turnout.
When you get elected by promising to protect abortion, and then do fuckall even after the SCOTUS leaks their ruling early, you lower voter turnout.
Nobody except for the democrats had the power to change the outcome of this election. They had to chose between overwhelmingly popular policy and losing, and they chose to lose.
