The Human Rights Campaign is launching a spending push in six key states to rally “equality voters” — and warns that many still need to be persuaded to vote for Biden.

And after crunching the numbers, the organization sees warning signs in the form of soft support for Biden in the 2024 electorate.

HRC estimates that this year there will be 75 million “equality voters” — who vote based on support for LGBTQ rights — up from 62 million in 2020 and 52 million in 2016. But the group says one-third of them aren’t a lock for Biden. In the six key swing states, hundreds of thousands are “at risk of not voting,” and another group of hundreds of thousands of voters are what HRC refers to as “double doubters” who will likely defect to a third party, according to data HRC shared with NBC News.

    I mean - all power to them.

    But Biden and the (so-called) “Democratic” party do not deserve any of this support.

        So rather trump?

        What do you mean, “rather Trump”? You’re getting Trump - unless something really unexpected happens. And Joe Biden doesn’t qualify as “unexpected.”

        Haven’t you seen what the memes are saying? They’re not saying, “Re-elect Biden!” - they’re saying, “Let’s pre-emptively blame these people for Biden losing!”

        Deep down, everybody knows what’s coming.

      What makes you think the dems “deserving” the votes has absolutely anything to do with this? LGBQT+ people be trying to exist and you’re asking them if Biden “deserves” their vote?

        What makes you think the dems “deserving” the votes has absolutely anything to do with this?

        You really think the Dems are going to accept this support and think, “Gee, we should really do something to protect LGBQT+ folk, like… maybe not reaching across the aisle to the people that will gladly perpetrate mass-murder on them” huh?

        If you do, I have a bridge to sell you.
