    objection

    I’m not “blind” to that at all! I’m fully aware of it!

    I’d rather die as someone who opposed genocide, than live as someone who didn’t phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-2

    In the long run, if minority groups are being picked off one by one, and Democrats keep following Republicans to the right, then… it’s inevitable that we’ll be targeted sooner or later!

    No one who supports genocide for political expediency will ever have my back! How could it be politically advantageous to stick their neck out for such a small minority? There’s only one way: if different minorities band together and treat an attack on one as an attack on all!

    And that means zero tolerance for genocide!

      Being Complicit with the Genocide of Transfolks IS NOT having Zero Tolerance for Genocide

      Furthermore, Its a hell of alot harder for minorities to band together when they are actively being genocided. Voting for the lesser of two evils allows for that Solidarity to form and expand. Voting will never directly bring about Socialism in America, but voting can give the working class time for Class Conciousness to form that will inevitably lead to that outcome.

      Voting IS NOT a purity test, it is a dirty tool that must be used until other tools can be put in place to allow the workers to seize the means of production.
