Yes, but if Dems remain in the minority, it’ll still be a Republican majority, giving them more time to dismantle democracy even further.

And if the transphobic Dems vote with the Republicans, trans people lose anyway. Democrats don't do party discipline, so the anti-trans laws get passed anyway under the guise of "concessions", so heads you're dead, tails you're still dead but someone somewhere feels bad about it.

The real problem is that no transphobic dem is capable of saving democracy.

Transphobic democrats are, at their very core, spineless cowards. They hold no real beliefs. There is no core to them. They simply follow the polls and hope to obtain power. They seek power for its own sake, not for what good they hope to do with it.

What the "blue no matter who" crowd forget is that saving democracy is unpopular. To truly save democracy, we're going to have to pass unpopular laws. We're going to have to rein in the power of the presidency. We're going to have to dismantle the post-9/11 security state. We're going to have to abolish ICE. But each of those things will result in headlines that Republicans will make great political hay out of. Abolish ICE? Some illegal immigrant is going to kill a white girl, and Republicans will be talking about it for years. Dismantling the surveillance state will actually mean we get hit with a few more terrorist attacks than we otherwise would.

Transphobe democracts are not going to save democracy. Saving democracy requires politicians who will look voters in the eye and say, "this is going to kill some Americans. I'm willing to let some Americans die if it means we save American democracy. Democracy is worth dying for." Can you imagine any of these spineless TERF democrats having that kind of moral conviction?

Democrats who vote against trans rights will also vote against any bill that's meant to seriously reinforce democracy. You can't save democracy by voting in transphobes. They lack the moral courage to save it.

choosing not to vote for the dnc is a valid long play, at the cost of risking republican victory in the short term, the length of the time is decided by the democrats.

vote for people who potray your values. people who claim that not voting for someone because they are only 2% off from acceptable vastly misrepresents the sheer % i disagree with the democratic platform based on their actions, and not their lies they tell near voting time
