What the hell? I've not heard that yet. What asinine reason are they peddling?
Everyone should vote, all the time. It's your right and duty. Everyone deserves a say.
You havent heard it for a reason, this guy is completely lying because a trans person told them theyre voting for someone else.
Lol this is a follow-up to another meme in this community. You've invented a narrative about something you don't understand.
Touch grass.
This is straight up lies following an argument you had with a trans person ive quoted for you as stating they will vote, that you cited as an example of telling you to abstain.
So sorry for your inability to discern context.
I hope that gets better for you.
I gave you the context, now challenge it with evidence
Literally look at the verbatim of the post you found your "context" on, you dunce.
Yes, I was incorrect about Objection being one of the many advocating not to vote in the general.
Instead, they're one of the other dangerous group advocating to "vote" but allow Biden to lose to Trump.
Which is more or less the same, but they get to virtue signal.
If that's your "gotcha" here, then congrats, I guess.
...this post??? https://lemmy.ml/post/17434215
Bidens losing to Trump all on his own. You can rally behind a better, younger candidate already available, or replace Biden with a better, younger candidate.
No, obviously not that post, since that's not where the argument you're talking about happened...
Are you lost?
This is the post that i quoted from, where Objection said theyre voting third party
And what does that have to do with this post being a follow-up to another in this community?
Again, are you lost?
Oh you're talking about this post https://lemmy.world/post/17067957
A screencap of Obvious_Troll from Some Community
You did it!
If it's happening, I imagine it's something along the lines of "Biden did bad things to trans people. If you vote for him, you don't support trans rights. And Trump is even worse! Don't vote/vote third party. " There are other issues where I've seen this argument, not specifically for trans folks, though.
