Getting real sick of the "don't vote" anarchists. They remind me of insufferable debate-me atheists; you want to agree, but they make it hurt the whole time.
I don't like the Democrats one bit. It frustrates me to have to vote for them. BUT, they aren't the ones demonizing me and removing my healthcare because of an innate part of myself. I'm trans, and Republicans are doing their damnedest to kill us. Democrats aren't helping, but they aren't calling to put us on lists and remove all of our healthcare, or make it illegal for us to change our names. Being a casualty of the apathy of those that think it doesn't matter makes me want to cry, every day. And we aren't the only ones! There are so many other targets conservatives are hunting and actively trying to hurt (people that can give birth, immigrants, veterans, etc), and no vote is just letting them get away with it. The Democrats are complicit and aren't doing nearly enough, I'd vote for a leftist even after the primaries if one had any chance of election, but right now I have no choice for my own self preservation than to vote blue.
Please, I beg you, think of those that are vulnerable and hurting if conservatives have power. It's not a good choice to vote blue, but it's the least bad one.
