    Fair. It’s not quite that bad here… sort of. Republicans are pretty similar to the Tories on trans rights, but the Democrats are just too cowardly to take a stand. They’re not transphobic, they’re just really shitty allies. They at least won’t make things worse though.

      Huge problem imho, is that a lot of these people who rattle on about voting for harm reduction candidates go home after voting on election day and then don’t get involved politically until the next election cycle.

      In these bourgeois “democracies” political parties are always going to move to court wealthy donors and thus shift right wing. If you lot over in America can’t mobilise enough people out in the street to fight for these causes, to grind your country to a screaming halt if needs be, then the Dems will be where labour is soon. Maybe not this election, but check back in with this comment by the midterms.

        Oh absolutely. I will be doing everything I can to prevent that, but the possibility of things maybe getting worse if we don’t do enough over the next couple years is still better than things definitely getting worse. Which is the choice we have right now.
