There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

Oh my mistake, the party that capitulates unceasingly to the christo-fascist party and in some cases even extends their fascist policies (more immigrants deported under Biden than under Trump, etc.) is absolutely so much different than the christo-fascist party itself! We should be very grateful for all they've done for us

I'll be sure to save this for when my trans ass is thrown in a gulag by trump and I can show the immigrants in there with me that you thought everything would be same either way.

I'll be sure to let you know when Biden deports my gay immigrant husband

Got a secret for you: The Democrats would run us over with a tank if it were politically convenient. You think a party that's ok with child murder will protect our marginalized asses? Think again.

And the fascists would do it gleefully, likely finding additional ways to incorporate cruelty and torture. Anti-electoralism is statistically indistinguishable from supporting the fascists or accelerationism. Accelerationism has no hard data showing that it actually works, only that it increases suffering.

Good thing I'm not suggesting accelerationism then

If that 1% means local LGBTQ+ people not being subject to mass murder, why wouldn't you pick 99%, especially if those are the only realistic outcomes?

Biden doesn't give 2 shits about trans rights...

You genuinely think the old-ass catholic man cares (outside of expanding your future military drafts)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

He isn't trying to kill me. He opposes bans of our medical care. If trans rights ended up on his desk, I think he'd sign it. So yeah, I do like him a lot better than the other candidate who literally wants us dead. The difference is subtle but I would rather be alive and lightly supported instead of dead and hated
