The comments are even worse. The fact this rhetoric made it even there genuinely makes me feels terrible. Are even other transfems this liberal or is this fed work?

    On the other hand did you see them take the opportunity to restrict abortion federally? How is it so hard to understand that between the people who are actively taking away your rights and the people who are doing nothing about it, the second group is the smarter choice? And as I understand, the reason roe v wade could get overturned in the first place is because dems lost the 2016 election and the Supreme Court got stacked with conservatives. I don’t see how it is favorable for that to happen again neither.

      The whole thing with the democrats and the whole reason they are useless against the right is that they mostly don’t push right themselves, they let the Republicans do it and don’t intervene. Abortion wasn’t restricted federally because the Republicans didn’t seriously push for that to happen, if the Republicans had pushed a little the Democrats would immediately cave in and let it happen like they did with Roe v Wade.

      Because the the first group end up taking away your rights either way.

      This just sounds like an excuse, the President can literally bypass congress and it wouldn’t surprise me if they have that kind of authority over the supreme court as well, but I’ll let peoples who know the US system better confirm or deny that.

      And anyway, voting for a politician who support a genocide is morally bankrupt no matter how you cut it, as someone who is technically both LGBT and disabled I’d sooner take on whatever the likes of the Republicans throw at me rather than vote for a genocider, and clearly most LGBT and poc agree given the amount of them who say they won’t vote for him either.
