    She didn’t get the popular vote where it mattered, popular vote is still what is needed

    So you think it’s just as likely they won’t protect trans right as it is likely the Republicans won’t? Because that was the question.

    Looking at Democrat’s States vs Republican States it’s pretty clear you’re wrong about that second part.

      Trump won without it.

      So you think it’s just as likely they won’t protect trans right as it is likely the Republicans won’t?

      I don’t trust either of them at all on this issue. I think they’re just itching to throw another vulnerable minority under the bus like they did with the undocumented immigrants you’re using Republican talking points about.

        Republicans do bad thing

        Democrats try but fail to completely stop it

        “Why did Democrats do this bad thing??” - Ensign_Crab

        Every time without fail, it’s a classic

          How does adopting Republican border policy count as trying and failing to stop Republican policy?

          Oh wait, you don’t care. You’re just happy they moved to the right.

              If they nominated Trump, you’d expect everyone to believe that he was the most progressive candidate ever.

        Again, she didn’t get the popular vote WHERE IT MATTERED, first past the post still requires popular vote, just not at a national level.

          That wasn’t the question I initially answered, is it?

            Tomato tomato, you need the popular vote to be elected, no matter how you want to twist it
