Liberals will lie to you and tell you to “just vote in the primary,” but in reality they simply don’t care about trans rights and do not believe there is ever a right time to challenge transphobic Democrats.

First primary: the transphobes hide their colors so you can’t vote against them.

First general election: the snakes reveal their colors, but you can’t vote against the traitors because “blue no matter who.” They tell you to just vote in the next primary.

Second primary: the same people who tell you now “save it for the primary” shift their tune to “we can’t give up an incumbent seat in a purple district!”

Trans people can see through these bad-faith lies. Yet of course, mansplaining trolls will be sure to breathlessly explain “lesser of two evil” math, as if that’s not an argument we haven’t heard a thousand times and already rejected due to its obvious flaws. There’s never a shortage of arrogant cis people who think they know more about trans issues than actual trans people.

Liberals want your votes, not your voices. Be a good little minority and sit down. Shut up. Support the party. You owe the party your support. The party owes you nothing.

    Blue wave would be a death sentence as much as a red wave then.

                I don’t think mail-in voting will be a thing and so I won’t be able to receive my ballot from safely outside of the USA. I will not be braving the polling booths, since I’m unwilling to risk any more of myself for a country that doesn’t like me anyway.

                Maybe there’s time to do another peaceful protest.

                  oh so you’re not in the united states, you don’t plan on voting, and you’re going to sling insults at people who are trying to at least show others they aren’t alone

                  got it, you’re in here wasting time and stirring the pot

                    I am a US citizen who saw it was time to leave. I won’t vote because I’m not ALLOWED to vote, not because I desire not to. I’m just unwilling to die in the USA by the hand of some untrained monkey.

                    YOU aren’t showing others they aren’t alone. You’re screaming at people who tell you to get out there and make change. Just admit you’ve already given up and now you’re lashing out at anyone who disrupts your hopeful bubble.

                    Midterms, baby! Remember those? They’re back and totally won’t be an issue this year! Yay! Freedumb! Democracy!
