= compromise with the Nazis to keep your position
“Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump?”
Uh gee maybe if the rest of y’all got on the same page instead of impeding them and folding to the Republicans then we could actually have some sort of defense against him and his cronies?

That doesn’t sound like someone who takes lgbtq rights seriously, especially combined with doing a fundraiser with Dave Chappelle. When I saw he was doing that, I was like “okay, you need to make a pretty strong case that you care about trans people”. And this is all he’s got. We didn’t make it into his priorities.
Well neither does someone who left trans rights out of their rebuttal to Trump’s state of the Union, and Harper is notably less genocidal than Slotkin and likely more progessive on economics. We’ll never know how much of an ally Harper would have been, but we currently have two useless senators in MI.
