Whenever you see anyone urging a certain course of action online, ask yourself who stands to benefit the most. Trans people not voting = transphobes. Climate change denial = fossil fuel companies. It’s always the same playbook.

What the hell? I’ve not heard that yet. What asinine reason are they peddling?

Everyone should vote, all the time. It’s your right and duty. Everyone deserves a say.

Lol this is a follow-up to another meme in this community. You’ve invented a narrative about something you don’t understand.

Touch grass.

This is straight up lies following an argument you had with a trans person ive quoted for you as stating they will vote, that you cited as an example of telling you to abstain.

If it’s happening, I imagine it’s something along the lines of "Biden did bad things to trans people. If you vote for him, you don’t support trans rights. And Trump is even worse! Don’t vote/vote third party. " There are other issues where I’ve seen this argument, not specifically for trans folks, though.

If you’re planning on voting for a rapist, someone with 34 felonies that paid a pornstar hush money from campaign funds for sex while his wife was at home pregnant, you should probably stay home clutching your pearls instead of voting.

Trans people should definitely vote in the election.

Those who want for the government to take freedoms from people would be doing the country a great service by staying home.

It isn’t enough for these people to cast the underprivileged into the fires, they won’t be satisfied until they’ve convinced the underprivileged to throw themselves in as an act of holier than thou defiance
