She’s imperfect, of course she is. But she’s FAAARRRR better than the alternative. If you want your candidate to be perfect, go to mars because that’s never going to happen here, especially in our two party system.

It’s tiring listening to people want perfect candidates, especially if they don’t advocate for changes in the way elections work. In my state I know people who swear up and down that they won’t vote for Harris because she’s not their ideal candidate on one issue or another but seem surprised when I tell them that ranked choice is presently being looked at.

I mean really I’m a one issue voter. I don’t want to government to execute me and others for being trans. There’s one candidate that has openly bragged that he wants to do this, and the other is a human being with a functioning brain.
Except wait— I also don’t want the environment raped or immigrants brutalized or education converted to indoctrination or sexual abuse codified into law or national security sold off to autocrats or the delicate global order upended or wars started out of dick waggling or the entire democratic system destroyed and the world irrevocably made worse. Seems like the choice is pretty fuckin clear

So many leftists are going to fuck us because they want perfect, so they’ll deliver us to hell to have their hissy fit.

the GOP candidate is literally airing ads attacking trans people. Republican governors spent last 2 years attacking trans peoole…
‘but i dunno Harris isnt perfect…’ these headlines are how he wins. stop w the BS Vote Blue

She isn’t perfect on trans issues, meanwhile the opposition would literally exterminate them. Stop pretending it’s even any kind of choice.

I don’t understand why so many people are willing to let perfect be the enemy of good
ElysiumFallen on
If the choices are between “Candidate backed by a policy group planning to jail people for being trans” and “Candidate who embraces diversity,” there’s really no choice at all.
Don’t let Project 2025 win. It will hurt every single American who isn’t part of the ultra elite.

Idk what imperfect on trans issues actually means, but Trump and the republican wave that would be necessary for a trump win will not be a friend to the lgbtq community.
The choice isn’t a choice.

What an insane headline. Harris is about as good as it’s gonna get for black trans rights for the time being. It’s not on the forefront of her mind to win the election, but she is miles better than any given Republican for this issue. It’s almost disrespectful and gaslighting to imply any sane black LGBTQ person should consider the other side. “Even if she’s imperfect…” lol. The alternative is having your existence deemed pornographic by the government and being jailed…. or worse.

Some people seem to think if they burn it all down, they’ll get Utopia in the end. Maybe they will. More likely, they’ll get a burned out hellscape for decades.

On literally *every* issue Harris is the better choice.
Unless you’re a billionaire I suppose.

I totally get why there’s mixed feelings about Harris. She’s made some bad calls before, but compared to Trump, at least we might have a shot at progress with her.

Trump is running ads saying Harris wants to use tax payers money to give trans prisoners surgery
Which is a pretty blatant “trans people bad” avenue of attack

Trans won’t be a thing under Trump.
FlashyPaladin on
Hi, trans person here. Former President Donald Trump and the GOP have an agenda that is actively harming transgender people, including me and my friends. If he wins the election, he and his party will push efforts to ban trans healthcare and eliminate protections.
Harris isn’t “not perfect but acceptable,” she’s the only choice in this election that will make any positive impact on trans lives, and the only choice that will protect us.
Dariawasright on
Let’s see, the Democrats have backed every single piece of pro -LGBTQ legislature, and the Republicans promised to remove transgender people from society and keep talking with Nazi dog whistles.
Which one should I vote for?
Probably the one who won’t get transgender people murdered.
Harris is the only choice.

>“I would rather have a fighting chance with her than have no chance at all with Trump.”
I hope more people will understand this type of pragmatism. We aren’t getting the perfect candidate because they do not exist, but we are getting someone who can be pushed to deliver progressive change.
There are only two VIABLE candidates this election: Harris and Trump. Choose the one who closely aligns with your vision for America. Then consider how well they can be pushed on positions while in office through voter turnout data, activism and protests without threats of imprisonment or deportation.

I’m trans and I’m terrified at how the anti trans rhetoric on the right has gotten worse and worse every year.
Vote Harris. Maybe if these assholes lose people will stop listening to their hateful rhetoric

There is not one issue Harris is “imperfect” on that isn’t 10x worse with Trump. Why do we need to keep having this discussion?

If you are not voting as a “protest,” then you are functionally a political bystander at best. You are literally “the good man doing nothing.”

Well the other party’s option is they round you all up and throw you in a volcano So, I’d hope you vote blue. Idiots.
