    Maybe two if enough people get off their asses and vote during the midterms.

      Voting has limited utility when Democrats are willing to throw trans people under the bus to get “must pass” legislation through. Republicans just need to attach their trans extermination legislation to bills that fund the military or other key government functions, and the Dems will vote for it in large numbers. Biden just signed a bill that will kill several thousand children, and even lamented the anti-trans provision in it, as he just signed it anyway.

      Respectfully this is not enough. We must demonstrate that this bigotry will not be widely accepted ever in our country.

        Understood; I’m referring strictly to damage control.

        After what happened in November, baby steps in two years are preferable to nothing for four.
