    Last October there was a user going on about voting for Jill Stein and I said something like well you must hate women if you’re letting trump win, and they said actually i identify as a trans woman and I’ve thought about them a fair bit in the last six weeks.

      What I mean is it was obviously self-defeating. I’m not saying it’s a good thing.

        Yeah, I hate putting my trans homies and the misguided third party voters I hope to someday turn into Democratic party voters on blast, but

        it was obviously self-defeating

        I can’t argue with that.

        On a related note, I will never stop being infuriated by the screw ups of the Harris campaign and Democratic party that put us in this situation and lost those winnable votes. Layperson voters are going to be dumb and vote with their hearts because they’re laypeople, professionals who work for political campaigns should have known better than the campaign they ran.
