Trans journalist Erin Reed has published a list of Democratic midterm candidates with anti-trans records, and the question she is forcing is one the party would rather not answer: if trans voters keep rewarding Democrats who harm them, what signal does that send? The calculation is real, the stakes are high, and there is no clean answer.
Vote third party. This is a good place for winning as third party. Local and state elections hell even in Congress independents can win and we should be pushing out more Democrats and Republicans as possible.
Only time to vote for a Democrat is in a primary and only for progressives. Also unfortunately during presidential runs. At least until Democracy fails or we do revolution.
