The military would not be able to pay for surgeries for transgender troops under the Senate's version of the must-pass annual defense policy bill, legislative text released Monday evening revealed.
Oh they certainly have the right to vote for fascism. And I have the right to call them assholes about it. That’s the democratic process in action. Democracy isn’t when your fascist ideas are never challenged, that’s fascism.
I didn’t do that, the DNC did that. I may be the ally of the DNC today, but my affections are fickle. I will aid the DNC when and only when it suits my goals. One day I will call Biden a corrupt fascist puppet, and the next I will defend him from the same accusations. The difference is that I will attack him when there’s a chance to get someone better on the blue side of the vote, and I’ll defend him when the candidates are set and he’s the only one who can defeat Trump. It is all a utilitarian calculation to me. I am not so privileged as to bring feelings into my decision about who to vote for. There are more important things at stake than how I feel.
Oh, I don’t disagree with you. But understand that sitting in a place where a national election has an effect on you is a privilege. Project 2025 is already becoming a reality in my state, and there’s nothing that’s going to stop it. Trump, Biden, doesn’t matter to me. I’m gonna sound like a doomer, but queer people in my state like me are already fucked. And Democrats at the state level can’t do anything because Republicans have supermajorities in both legislative houses and they hold the governorship. My state will go for Trump. My vote for president will not matter. It’s gonna be third party (probably socialist). Don’t tell me I “have to vote for Biden”, I’ve made my calculation too.

You mean like when you shut down primaries so you’re guaranteed a victory?
