    I don’t claim anything. I don’t care what an Internet stranger feels about me. I care about there being a future.

    I don’t want trans kids to die, like my friend’s younger sister who couldn’t get access to legit medical care and had to buy street drugs.

    I don’t want black people murdered by cops given carte blanche to go even further than now. They’re promising us this world.

    And Gaza is a place where families and children live and are being genocided. There is no logic statement that starts there and ends with we’re better off with Trump, other than you proving a point or focusing on blame instead of solutions.
