How does a candidate get to the general? If your disdain for certain states is driving a refusal to vote at all, the issue is not with the general. HoW dO iT WoRk?!? IT’S A GODDAMNED FUCKING MYSTERY.

But we agree on this: there is no joy to be had in further discussion. You refuse to understand and I’m sick of trying to engage so- . You have nothing of value to say. You're not discussing trans issues on this trans community, and I've had to explain to you how articles work twice now.

    I read and understood the article. You don't even seem to understand where you are or who you are talking to. I didn't write the article. I'm only here pointing out your lack of reading. I don't know why you're continuing to argue at me.

    Perhaps you should try looking up primaries on Wikipedia since you are still confused by the process. They even have a simple English version that sounds right up your alley.

    ?? How - okay

    Do you want to defeat the anti-trans laws proposed and in place, as well as the political party responsible for them? I do. If you do as well, you shouldn’t trust Erin Reed’s judgement on this because they are wrong on this point.

    I’m not suggesting there aren’t bad actors in the Democratic party - I’ve seen the two gubernatorial candidates from - ohio and illinois I think it was - and they’re bullshit and need to get their shit together or be bounced from the party. But none of that can happen by refusing to participate.

    Refusing to participate makes the anti-trans legislators more powerful. WHY would we want that.

    The reasoning is presented clearly in those four paragraphs. If you still don't understand, read them again.
