Enough people caring about us doesn’t matter anymore if they don’t vote to protect our rights.

They care at an abstract human level but give them the flimsiest excuse, and they’re more than happy to throw us under the bus and side with/engage in the most virulent transphobia.

What they really mean is that they can’t create enough articles off of what someone said on Twitter.

Should people waste thier time with a sealion?

NBC can get fucked tor this articles title.

I think they should have given him the Grimace outfit and told him it was all they had that would fit.

That’s why they do it! Gotta manufacture that last-minute nail-biter to keep the eyes glued to the TV for their 24 hour coverage leading up to the polls closing, and as long as it takes to count each state’s votes!

I don’t think I’ll live through another Trump term, so I’m probably going to check out if it happens.

Yeah. It’s likely that the terms only came up with a wider investigation of the device/network data that the hack originated from.

Okay, but how do you know? Anyone want to google it?

Look up “Chick Tracts”.

What it often is, is they want an easy solution. The idea that things are bad isn’t lost on them, but when presented a choice between someone laying out a multistep plan and someone presenting a convenient scapegoat, they’re happy to run with the scapegoat every time.

It’s not even entirely an inherently conservative thing. Many of us can fall prey to it due to the fatigue of late stage capitalism and just running with something we want to believe without researching the underpinnings.

Look, I can barely take care of myself some days.

Ah yes, undecided voters.

I feel like if I neglected doing a critical function of my job for a year and then grudgingly half did it so that I can coast a few more months, my boss would probably fire me.

How many trans kids in an age bracket in a single sport across the whole country do you think there are? For any team sport, it would be difficult to field a single team, let alone another team, for them to play against.

I just assumed he was shitting his pants.

I bet if we gave the national park system some nukes they could secure better funding!

As a trans person, I kinda don’t give a fuck. There’s so much going on at the national level, I don’t need them to devote speaking time to it. So long as I can continue to count on them when it matters, of course.

My state still does that and requires an updated birth certificate and social security card. My birth state requires an updated driver’s license and secondary ID and court order. I don’t have the energy, time, and money to argue with 2 states, the judicial system, and multiple federal offices, and get a therapist to sign off on the fact that I’m not just submitting myself to all this as an elaborate prank.

Dumping into the water. It is an overall expense, and not related to the business interests. They just needed some evil villain stuff going on because Elon really wants to meet Captain Planet.
