Look, me and my partner are trans, and it lives in the US. We're terrified it's going to be killed by the Republican party during their next presidency. Conditions are eerily similar to 1920s Germany and we know our history. It's a refugee. I'm trying to get enough money to move it to my country, but I'm broke. I need more time. I want a progressive US president as much as anyone, I want to avert this shit. But if Biden wins the primary, that's 4 more years I have to save my partner's life. This is a matter of immediate life or death to me. That's 4 more years every trans person has to get out before it gets worse. I feel bad for people in the middle east, but my views on which president to elect don't affect them. It affects my partner. I don't agree with this view of "let's ignore trans people and focus on the middle east". The lesser evil means I don't have to grieve my love.
You might not understand this election actually mattering if you don't have any trans loved ones.
