Okay then.
Explain that to a diabetic child when Trump gets rid of the insulin price cap that enables their parents to afford it.
Explain that to a trans person who, if the republicans gets their way, will be considered a sexual predator and imprisoned(at best...) for simply existing in public.
Explain that to a woman forced to carry her rapists baby to term when, if Trump gets his way, abortion is federally criminalized. Scratch that, explain that to a child forced to die from their ectopic pregnancy.
Explain that to Ukraine when we stop supporting them against Russia... hell, explain that to Ukraine when we end up supporting Russia against Ukraine.
Explain that to EVERYONE when Trump's "I'll be a dictator, but only on day 1" comment becomes a reality and doesn't stop after day 1.
I could go on.
By all means, continue to delude yourself into believing you are making the just and moral decision. It won't stop anyone else from seeing that your morals are entirely performative.
Don't have to do that one. I am a trans person and I have more skin in this than most of you do. I understand the risks very clearly, but the difference is I actually have a spine.
I'd rather explain why I'm not voting for Biden to any of them than explain to a Palestinian child who has only ever known war and hunger why I'm supporting the people sending the bombs.
My sense of solidarity will not allow me to sell out Palestinians for my own safety or the safety of my loved ones. An injury against one is an injury against all. And what you people say about Palestinians today is what you'll say about trans people tomorrow. If the Democrats decide to nominate someone who wants to exterminate us next time, we'll be just as much as an acceptable sacrifice.
