In the continuing race to see who can throw transgender people under the bus most quickly, South Carolina Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Annie Andrews has released a new direct-to-camera campaign ad in which she states that she does not support trans athletes playing in sports that affirm their gender identity.
The alternative is sadly a Republican, which is even worse.
These people need to make their hate known before the midterms so they can be kicked out, now trans people are stuck waiting through 4 years of transphobic hate before they can try anything.
Some days I think. Do I just need to run for a political seat. I mean. For fucks sake.
Can we just get someone normal with baseline ethics ?
I don’t want to go into politics.
It looks boring as hell and you have to listen to complaints all day and threats from corporate brats calling your office.
And the smear campaigns.
But I mean. Someone needs to do the job right.
Maybe someone who doesn’t want to do it is the right person.
Idk.
Sometimes I just think about that.
I don’t have any past b.s to be brought up. All my old nudie pics are from peak years. So even if someone shared those it would probably help me get elected not hurt me.
Idk. Sometimes I think maybe I should just try. My whole angle would be.
“I don’t want this job. But y’all keep fuckin it up. So here we are.”
Or
“Move aside. I’ll fix it myself, fuckwits”.
I have a cynical sense of humor. Some people might relate but Id probably piss a lot of people off.
I’ve been trying to tell all my friends how they need to run for local offices. Hell, half of those small positions aren’t even opposed.
easy wins. Cushy state job.
Sit there and make it hard for people to get away with b.s. slow down the fascist. And help the progressives.
You can do that at any level of government if you play your cards right.
Then you have to get funding and all that bullshit which is notoriously hard.
I don’t know, man. It’s fucking exhausting though.
Ikr? It’s the fundraising and the traveling. And shmoozing.
It would be exhausting
Harm reduction is when a liberal kills you politely.
The difference I’ve seen between cis-activists and trans-activists is that Trans people are done waiting.
I see more direct action in an LGBTQ aligned street corner than a No Kings parade.
Trans people will keep being trans. They’ll keep helping each other transition. Fuck the law. Fuck the cops. And fuck any liberal fascist politician who tries to stop them.
People like you live in a fairy tale, and they always will. That a mythical third party will come along and win with no work towards it, perfectly aligned to court a majority of voters. “No, the Democratic party cannot be reformed. Do not vote in the primary or participate in caucuses. Only a third party I won’t name nor will I give any instructions on finding will solve our problems.”
It’s, frankly, horseshit. You are the same as a fucking doomsayer saying the end is nigh, using numberology to prove it’ll happen next Thursday.
You people want to have a third party in a voting system strictly opposed to third parties. How the fuck do you plan to get those third parties elected with 5% of the vote?
Don’t get me wrong. It’s great for feeling morally superior! If you never have to make a hard choice in your life, you can pretend any problem isn’t your fucking responsibility, not your fucking fault.
Anyway, this guy is either an accelerationist or an operative designed to get you to be apathetic towards voting. Just fucking vote, and do basic fucking math to realize there is no national third party that will save you. If you hate the Democratic party, join your local party and berate the shit out of them to change. That’ll do more than this shit plan of voting third party ever will.
