So many libs keep telling me if I don’t vote for Biden that Trump will pass all these anti-trans laws that Biden and the Democrats would of course have stopped. I tell them my trans comrades on Hexbear all say I shouldn’t vote for Biden but these libs just keep asking for the proper documentation.

Voting for Biden says you want to keep your current rights

Does not compute. What concrete steps has he taken to stop the loss of rights of trans people in multiple states under his presidency? Did he start a 'task force'?

Voting for Biden says you want to keep your current rights and possibly gain some rights, if democrats can gain a majority in the House and a larger majority in the Senate.

Weird, I don't remember ANY of that happening when Democrats had both chambers and the presidency

Who do I vote for if I regard both of them as genocidal white supremacists who won't do anything for me

Thanks to Biden’s lack of leadership on trans issues, the Democrats who have been fighting back have been forced to do so at the state level. So the states that need the pushback the most get it the least. The Republicans have an organized strategy working in lock step with national leadership. The Democrats can’t say the same and that’s the fault of Democratic leadership, including Biden. He doesn’t get to claim us as a win.
