Maybe you should just accept that this candidate has lost the trans vote and move on instead of demanding trans people and their allies support their demise. It's not trans people's fault this candidate is anti-trans. Don't go after trans folks just because their voting decisions aren't "perfect". When a candidate says he is anti-trans, it seems absurd to castigate trans allies for believing him.

Sure, it's too late to get a different Dem candidate, but that just makes it more important that the Dem candidate doesn't make dumbass decisions to needlessly throw away voters for zero benefit. It seems like a bad use of your time to go after the many people in the voter base this candidate is alienating. It would be more efficient to rebuke this single candidate and demand he apologize.

As far as I know, there was no indication that this dude is a massive transphobe prior to the primaries. This needs to lose him votes. I'm not encouraging anyone to vote for what is effectively a nazi, I'm encouraging people to vote for someone who isn't a transphobe.

I am so sick and fucking tired of you people acting like we want perfection. I'm not saying not to vote for him because he isn't perfect, I'm saying not to vote for him because he wants to harm trans people. The DNC supports candidates like this because they appeal to the right, and that's the only demographic they need to earn votes from. Make them earn your vote.

Nah. I'm trans. If the Democrats are going to abandon me and my people, then I think every queer person should just stay home and not vote at all. I will not vote for the promise of "we'll save democracy but also liquidate trans people." If you're not willing to stand up for minorities, then we can all go to hell together.
