It’s September 29. AFAIK most, if not all, of the primaries are over now. Either you got your ideal candidate or you didn’t, but either way, there’s only one way to keep the guaranteed-to-be-trans-genocidal Republican out of office at this point.
Also I notice you used “ideal” as if not wanting to be r*ped and murdered in men’s prison is idealistic. That’s the bare fucking minimum. If you nominate a candidate that supports the ideology for my genocide, I’m not sticking around to see how it turns out.
IDGAF about your fig-leaf; this thread is about 2026. That one sentence may have mentioned 2028, but don’t try to pretend you weren’t speaking more generally in the rest of your comments.

Fuck off with putting words in my mouth. I used “ideal” as in “better than the alternative” – WHICH IT IS! – and you know it. You are not fucking entitled to attack me for your own hyperbolic interpretation of some imagined different word that I didn’t say!

Do you realize that, by being incredibly accusatory and hostile to people who are trying to be your allies, you’re only making the worst outcome for yourself more likely? Don’t blame this shit on me!
Here’s the real bottom line: even if your 2026 Democratic candidate isn’t pro-trans, some candidates in other jurisdictions are. For there to be any hope of protecting trans people those other pro-trans Democrats need to be able to form a coalition with the rest of the party powerful to stand up against the Republicans. By refusing to vote and denying them that coalition, you are actively harming other trans people. Where’s your motherfucking solidarity, qomrade?!
it is reasonable and compassionate to treat an oppressed minority with grace, even - especially - when they criticize their oppressors. being “accusatory and hostile” is a normal, expected reaction to lifelong persecution. putting extra effort into engaging compassionately is moral even if you disagree with them.
it is reasonable to expect this from you.
when you frame this - extending grace to an oppressed, suicidal woman - as “sexist,” you are flattening gender relations into an imaginary “all lives matter”-esque concept where all genders exist under the same conditions. this is literally an anti-feminist dog whistle of men’s rights activists.
you should treat her better because society is biased against her and has instilled that bias into you. you are obligated to correct for it.
this means you do not fucking tone-police the oppressed.
I already have hope for an out; we nominate a progressive.

I said 2028 in my original comment, didn’t I?

i sincerely hope that you never interact with another trans person again. we all deserve better than this.
Gender doesn’t excuse being disingenuous. What would you have me do, treat her differently because she’s trans? What are you, sexist?
…i think i’m going to go find somebody to hug.
I’m sorry that you’re upset by my lack of sexism.

In fairness she did mention 2028 at the start of this
I fucking hope so
