This is actually a pretty minor lapse by @nytimes.com standards; usually when they do one of these undecided voter stories it turns out to be a literal card-carrying local Republican Party official.

1. Lose election 2. Assume Trump will steal election for him 3. Trump is flailing around and failing to steal his own election 4. Oh shit oh fuck

So we are supposed to believe that democrats are throwing trans people under the bus so that they win and then trans people will be safe because they are just fibbing?

If you're trans, you can't work in any public facing job currently without the risk of one of a couple of dozen GCs finding out about you and campaigning for you to be sacked for "doing your fetish in public" All enabled by Rowling's funding. Then they trot out "wHaT rIgHtS dOn'T yOu HaVe???"

This is what Love Lies Bleeding got right about the 80s: everything in the 80s wasn’t neon and bright colors and crazy prints. Everything was fucking Brown

Politics in the year of our genocide 2026 😒

there is no non-transphobic reason to spend hours online telling trans people to vote for people who openly hate us

democrats when they insist upon themselves

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

trans people in the US keep pointing to the UK for a reason. trans people's situations are far worse now than they were under a tory government in large part because 'reasonable liberals' turned on them the moment it was labour proposing bathroom bans and workplace discrimination.

democratic victory while running on transphobia will be worse for us. when republicans propose anti-trans legislation you libs at least pretend to oppose it purely because 'orange man bad.' but when a democratic majority proposes it, or worse it's fully bipartisan, you fall in line.

🫩 don’t make me tap the sign.

is every US election going to be like this for the rest of time now are we just going to have to get used to the fact that in the month before election day every politician across the country will send 500 automated texts per day begging you for money

The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

also its white, probably? its white not to use AI. its racist not to use AI

Lots of examples of a clear pathway forward to defeating fascism and building something out of the wreckage. All lessons that the Democratic establishment is intent on making sure remain ignored.

this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek

Why would Cornel West, a man who serves on the board of a far right education group with Christopher Rufo, do this?

I've seen multiple people describe our demands for accurate ID, health care, and access to the correct bathrooms as "wanting a pony".

We've been PLEADING for YEARS for you shitlibs not to do this, to just this once do the right thing, and you spit in our faces and tell us "enjoy the camps" and expect us to vote for your sorry fascist-lite bigot candidates.

Democrat stans really don't understand just how much this betrayal is not just some "hurt feelings" about zoning laws.

"I'm the furthest left of all my friends, who, incidentally, are members of the 3rd Reich"

guy who says he is 'as left as they come' but is actually a reactionary conservative for the 90s instead of the 50s

there are a lot of queer spaces that sell alcohol and are places for cruising, but there should be other queer spaces you know? like a place where no matter where you are in the world you can make it your home and join the pharmaceutical institute on the mobile landship that also has a paramilitary

I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.

this kind of bad faith wokeslop is downstream of takes like "being anti-Shein is fatphobic" and "it's ableist to ask writers to read"

I'm all about gassing people up when they're getting stronger and feeling themselves - participating in your buddies' accomplishments is one of the great joys of strength training - but if you're gonna claim a 315 deadlift makes you a gorilla I'm gonna laugh my ass off, poverty weight racist prick
