They're the ones that decided to be trans-exclusive when their voting has harmful implications and results for both the group they're proclaiming support for as well as many others.

If they're voting for Nazis as part of a grand plan, they're voting for Nazis.

I helped my trans friends flee the midwest to the PNW because they weren't safe here, so I do have stakes and I am involved in constructive actions helping the community as opposed to supporting the opposition.

Using your trans status to ignore others is almost as short sided as your single issue voting support for the GOP.

After all, you just said I advocated for the GOP. Which should be pretty obvious I don't support.

Voting for the GOP is showing support in a very meaningful way with repurcussions. You're voting to put a party in power that has an active agenda opposed to your interests.

Regardless of how that race goes, a transphobe is going to win. From my perspective, that particular election is already lost. At that point my priority is making sure the transphobic Democrat has as little credibility as possible. And that's achieved by making sure they lose by the largest margin possible.

Your perspective is empowering a party with a transphobic agenda is better than a single trnasphobic voice that is part of a party platform that does not support their stance? One of those is a lot more likely to be able to enact harmful legislation a d you're directly responsible for any harm that candidate will cause.

I don't think federal laws cover car theft until they cross state lines.

Unless the information is used to debank resistance.

No government benefit work requirements until the Mitch McConnell Equal Work Requirements for Congress bill is passed.

Pass the MMEWRC now!

But she might also be the candidate that gets previous non-voters to turn out in sufficient numbers to finally, decidedly, shut down the boomer voting bloc.

I always told my kids they did not have to stand or say it and to explain to the teacher that they do not swear allegiance to a flag with arbitrary meaning.

They probably still did it, but I made sure they knew they didn't have to and why I disagreed with it. Still get to make their own, informed, choices.

We call the chair she's in her pettin' chair because she will always sit still for scritches when she's in it. Most other times it's a drive by unless she comes specifically to solicit pets. When she does that ot's usually a paor of paws on your leg and a solitary "mew" to let you know her highness has arrived and demands tribute.

Oh, then I got a backup for you:

 
 

Title says it all. You can sometimes one shot the glowy bit on an engine, but even with hits all over the place you can down one with a single clip.
