    Cool so the solution is to not vote so the Republicans win all those elections and trans people get genocided on a country level instead of a state level, right? God what a big brain you have, I wonder why I never saw it that way before.

      No the solution is to organize and develop real political power so that we don’t have to rely on parties that have neither of our interests in mind. Unless you consider “voting” as the only legitimate form of participation in politics?

        No it’s not, not at all, but voting needs to be done and instead of encouraging people not to vote you should be directing them to ways of organizing and developing political power. Voting is like an hour of time (if that) one day every 2 years. It’s not like it’s so hard to do that along with actual means of change.

          When did I encourage people not to vote?

          You’re responding to me based off of your own emotional investment to the electoral process. Nowhere did I say not to vote.

            You were responding positively to a comment that is encouraging people not to vote, pardon for thinking you agreed with that sentiment when you didn’t voice disagreement to it.
