    Biden won’t stop my red state from making me illegal. I can see it already! Red state declares being transgender to be a sex crime, it goes to the Supreme Court where they rule 5-4 in favor of the red state, and now I either flee or get rounded up into the camps.

    And all you will do is use this as campaign material to encourage people to vote for Democrats. You won’t help me, Biden won’t help me, I’ll just be detransitioned in prison and probably murdered. This could happen in Biden’s next term and nothing would change.

    Instead, how about you start thinking outside the ballot box and get ready to do something that actually matters?

      The feeling of resignation is a direct result of letting trump in the first time and him appointing multiple conservative judges, especially on the supreme court. I’m not sure making it easier for him to repeat this again will help.

      Also, fwiw Biden is trying to help many people, but is also getting pretty tied up by said judges.

        I didn’t “let” Trump in the first time? I voted and donated and then he stole the election because this is a shithole country where the candidate that loses the popular vote can become President anyway. Half the presidents in my lifetime lost the popular vote! It’s a joke.

        And guess what? It’s too late. The fascists already stole the Court because of Mitch McConnell deciding he didn’t want to play by the rules anymore. It’s over. 6-3! It can’t get easier, they can win every Court case they ever want and nothing fucking matters. Biden is “trying” but because he keeps playing by the rules he will always lose. He’ll keep “trying” while I’m marched to my death and that’s not fucking good enough.

        If my state passed a law that said it is legal to hunt down and murder trans people, I’d be dead before Biden did jack shit about it.

          You didn’t “let” him, and props for doing what you did. The collective we “let” him - probably could’ve worded it better.

          The system is pretty fucked, you’re right.

          I’d still like to think that discouraging a trump presidency is the best approach, but I understand if you’re out of fucks to give.
