Right, because choosing the person who will impose fewer barriers to the most marginalized amongst us in a real election between two real humans that will materially impact every american as well as the whole planet for the next 6 years minimum is siding with the oppressor.

    Going back to the factory example I gave. Two companies now. One of them doesn't hire Black women. One of them doesn't hire any women. If someone calls to boycott both companies, and you decide to only boycott the worse of two evils, IMO you are siding with an oppressor

    imagine an election between an avowed racist that's weirdly good on trans issues, and an avowed racist that also hates trans people. As a white trans woman, I would implore you to boycott that election

    Shopping is an awful analog to elected office

    If a trans person will be dead if either candidate gets elected, then why do you believe that they should vote to improve your life?

    You seem to believe that you are entitled to trans people's votes. Why?

    Because im also a trans (non binary) person. Because I also care about all humans on this earth. Because the more people a candidate supports, the easier it is to get them to support more groups. . . I dont know how to explain to you that you should care about the well being of more than just one people
