Yes I know all those things. You're not going to successfully convince me to be less scared of Project 2025 though because its a whole nother ballgame. I don't even know why you're trying. I thought the party line here was "I dont care if you vote Democrat". Its not like me choosing to do so is harmful? And for the record as I said in my other post i'm not even going to do so anyway because I live in MA where my vote doesn't matter. I just personally feel that if I did live in like Michigan or something I'd vote because Project 2025 is legit horrifying.

does it matter which color party implements it if it's going to happen or not regardless?

Yeah I dont think things on the level of Project 2025 are going to "happen or not regardless" no matter how much doomer shit gets spread on here. There is a material difference, no matter how slim. And I stand by that.

You can disagree. I'm not here to vote shame. If you don't feel that Democrats will reduce harm or make a difference in any way, do you. I just do not see the evidence in the same way you do.

I literally already said I'm aware of these things already.

However trans rights are a sticking point for me and considering the fact that Democrats in my state have passed sanctuary state legislation and other protections while red states go the opposite way, I see a material difference on that issue that matters to me.

Idk why you are even bothering I LITERLALY said I'm not voting for President because of where I live. The posts about "why bother vote evangelizing to communists" that are made elsewhere apply the other way. Stop trying to CONVICNE me not to care. Its materially pointless. Me choosing to vote, which I'm not even doing, doesn't hurt anyone.
