There is no way you can’t tell the difference between the Democratic Party and a few democrats voting against the Democratic Party

You mean like how literally every instance of ‘Democrat(s)’ in my previous comment was about individuals and not the party? Can you at least pretend to read what you’re responding to?

You are either pushing the oldest republican talking point as a shill or you have been tricked by a shill into voting against trans rights.

You have literally no idea who I have ever voted for in my life and you’re already comfortable declaring that I’m voting for an anti trans agenda… because I said I won’t vote for someone who voted against trans rights. These mental gymnastics don’t exhaust you?

I’m a former trans youth who tried to kill myself in part because I had no gender affirming anything. I did not ask for and do not need your advice on how to vote for candidates that will fight for my rights.

The Democratic Party voted to stop this bill. A few voted against the Democratic Party. You try to turn the blame onto the Democratic Party

You are trying to have an argument against something nobody here is saying, the entire time completely ignoring that this is a conversation about trans kids. If you have any feelings on the subject beyond “democrat good” nobody here would be able to tell, because all you’ve cared about here is the politics. If you don’t get why that’s fucking gross go take a walk until you do.

Then use the individuals name and stop blaming the party that voted against this.

Republicans love to cherry pick examples of a trans person doing something then blame the entire trans community. Just like you’re doing with democrats now.

because I said I won’t vote for someone who voted against trans rights

You’re not campaigning against the individuals that voted with the republicans. You’re campaigning against the Democratic Party that voted to stop this. Which is the same as supporting republicans.

I am too. The reason we didn’t get that gender affirming care is too many republicans won. And now you are here blaming democrats for the actions of republicans. You are campaigning against gender affirming care.

Politics is what is preventing gender affirming care. If you don’t care about politics, you don’t care about gender affirming care. If you don’t get why that’s gross go take a walk until you do.

If I meant the Democratic Party that’s what I would have said. I literally included the names of the specific Democrats I was talking about in that comment, but now your problem is that I didn’t include individual names (when I did)?

If you’re unsure about what a comment means you can always ask instead of leaping to the worst faith interpretation possible. I even made my statement as specific as possible by saying I won’t vote for people who vote against trans rights and somehow that’s a criticism of the entire Democratic Party as well? It doesn’t seem like there’s a way to criticize any Democrats without you deciding it’s actually both sidesing.

And now you are here blaming democrats for the actions of republicans

I am blaming the fucking Democrats that voted for it because they’re responsible for their own actions! Do you need me to list their names out again, or does your scroll wheel work?

Good luck with kissing the boot of every Democrat that takes a dump on you.
