The GOP Doesn’t Want to Punish Trans People—It Wants to Eradicate Them
This year, more than 200 anti-transgender bills have already been filed in the states. They are extreme. And many will pass.

"I don't like Trump, but Biden just doesn't excite me..."
Them: "If people considered a third party candidate, this wouldn't be happening!"
Me: "Name the candidate that has a reasonable chance of beating both Trump and Biden."
Them: "..."
Except once. I had one person argue with me, seriously argue with me, that Cornel West could win the presidency because all kinds of strange things happen in the universe and you can't prove he won't!
It's almost like... there's a reason these 3rd party candidates aren't making it onto the big party tickets.
It's called the electoral college.
Well, no. The Electoral College has its own list of problems, but keeping 3rd parties out of power is not one of them.
There's two main reasons we don't have any serious third party candidates:
-
We have a first-past-the-post system, which mathematically results in a two-party system, and
-
no serious politician runs as a third party candidate, because any serious politician understands how our election system works.
-
and you guys are why this keeps happening.

Except Trump will be 1000x worse with respect to Israel. And not voting for Biden might as well be a vote for Trump.
To all the upvoters: Average disillusioned leftie here.
Saying "I won't support Biden in the primary." is not the same as "i sTILl not goNna vOtE”.
I do not want ANY GOP to win any power, ever, anywhere.
We were saved by the young vote in the midterms and Biden has almost entirely lost those voters. Like it or not Biden is deeply unpopular. And I believe Biden would likely lose to Trump.
So how is pleading for a candidate from the DNC who stands a better chance at winning against the GOP an irrational position?
Please reexamine your politics - I am not your enemy.
