    If you are fighting for your ability to exist, you show up.

        Bigfoot’s downfall was due to him not voting.

      A large group of people overtly plotting to prevent you from being who you are - up to and potentially including concentration camps at some point in the future - does tend to focus the mind.

    Yeah because we’re super fucked if things continue to get worse. Many of us are out there voting and more like our lives depend on it, because our lives literally depend on it. There is no “I could probably coast through the bad” privilege for us

    I know a ton of fellow trans folk in my red state, both directly and tangentially. All except 1 understand what’s at stake and are going to vote (the 1 understands what’s at stake, just isn’t registered to vote despite everyone in her life pushing her to get registered and vote). We get that if we don’t vote, we will be put in prison. And we all fucking hate when people try to say we shouldn’t be scared of Republicans being in power and project 2025 cause “they wouldn’t actually make you illegal and put you in camps.” Us trans folk are fucked if trump wins. Voting for Harris is our only option to be able to remain ourselves and free and alive.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
