      She’s imperfect, of course she is. But she’s FAAARRRR better than the alternative. If you want your candidate to be perfect, go to mars because that’s never going to happen here, especially in our two party system.

      It’s tiring listening to people want perfect candidates, especially if they don’t advocate for changes in the way elections work. In my state I know people who swear up and down that they won’t vote for Harris because she’s not their ideal candidate on one issue or another but seem surprised when I tell them that ranked choice is presently being looked at.

      I mean really I’m a one issue voter. I don’t want to government to execute me and others for being trans. There’s one candidate that has openly bragged that he wants to do this, and the other is a human being with a functioning brain.
      Except wait— I also don’t want the environment raped or immigrants brutalized or education converted to indoctrination or sexual abuse codified into law or national security sold off to autocrats or the delicate global order upended or wars started out of dick waggling or the entire democratic system destroyed and the world irrevocably made worse. Seems like the choice is pretty fuckin clear

      the GOP candidate is literally airing ads attacking trans people. Republican governors spent last 2 years attacking trans peoole…

      ‘but i dunno Harris isnt perfect…’ these headlines are how he wins. stop w the BS Vote Blue

      She isn’t perfect on trans issues, meanwhile the opposition would literally exterminate them. Stop pretending it’s even any kind of choice.

    6. stingray20201 on

      I don’t understand why so many people are willing to let perfect be the enemy of good

    7. ElysiumFallen on

      If the choices are between “Candidate backed by a policy group planning to jail people for being trans” and “Candidate who embraces diversity,” there’s really no choice at all.

      Don’t let Project 2025 win. It will hurt every single American who isn’t part of the ultra elite.

      Idk what imperfect on trans issues actually means, but Trump and the republican wave that would be necessary for a trump win will not be a friend to the lgbtq community.

      The choice isn’t a choice.

      What an insane headline. Harris is about as good as it’s gonna get for black trans rights for the time being. It’s not on the forefront of her mind to win the election, but she is miles better than any given Republican for this issue. It’s almost disrespectful and gaslighting to imply any sane black LGBTQ person should consider the other side. “Even if she’s imperfect…” lol. The alternative is having your existence deemed pornographic by the government and being jailed…. or worse.

      Some people seem to think if they burn it all down, they’ll get Utopia in the end. Maybe they will. More likely, they’ll get a burned out hellscape for decades.

      Any non-vote for Kamala is a vote for the GQP’s newer version of the original eugenics Aktion T4 program. Google it. Hitler did not start with Jews. He started with the smallest subgroups of “bad genes” with the “conservative” majority’s silence. He started with gays, trans, Down Syndrome, the mentally & physically disabled and the elderly. Google it.

      *[X] activists say voting for Harris is crucial even if she’s imperfect on [X] issues*

    14. Pherllerp on

      No fucking shit.

      Perfect is the enemy of progress and someone like Harris isn’t going to actively harm a harmless minority community. This litmus test bullshit is going to put Trump back in office.

    15. cwk415 on

      On literally *every* issue Harris is the better choice.

      Unless you’re a billionaire I suppose.

    16. Witty_Tumbleweed_528 on

      I totally get why there’s mixed feelings about Harris. She’s made some bad calls before, but compared to Trump, at least we might have a shot at progress with her.

    17. Blarguus on

      Trump is running ads saying Harris wants to use tax payers money to give trans prisoners surgery

      Which is a pretty blatant “trans people bad” avenue of attack

    19. FlashyPaladin on

      Hi, trans person here. Former President Donald Trump and the GOP have an agenda that is actively harming transgender people, including me and my friends. If he wins the election, he and his party will push efforts to ban trans healthcare and eliminate protections.

      Harris isn’t “not perfect but acceptable,” she’s the only choice in this election that will make any positive impact on trans lives, and the only choice that will protect us.

    20. Dariawasright on

      Let’s see, the Democrats have backed every single piece of pro -LGBTQ legislature, and the Republicans promised to remove transgender people from society and keep talking with Nazi dog whistles.

      Which one should I vote for?

      Probably the one who won’t get transgender people murdered.

      Harris is the only choice.

    21. LisaFrankRealness on

      >“I would rather have a fighting chance with her than have no chance at all with Trump.”

      I hope more people will understand this type of pragmatism. We aren’t getting the perfect candidate because they do not exist, but we are getting someone who can be pushed to deliver progressive change.

      There are only two VIABLE candidates this election: Harris and Trump. Choose the one who closely aligns with your vision for America. Then consider how well they can be pushed on positions while in office through voter turnout data, activism and protests without threats of imprisonment or deportation.

      I’m trans and I’m terrified at how the anti trans rhetoric on the right has gotten worse and worse every year.

      Vote Harris. Maybe if these assholes lose people will stop listening to their hateful rhetoric

    23. needlestack on

      There is not one issue Harris is “imperfect” on that isn’t 10x worse with Trump. Why do we need to keep having this discussion?

    24. Pyro1237 on

      If you are not voting as a “protest,” then you are functionally a political bystander at best. You are literally “the good man doing nothing.”

    25. Rixact on

      Well the other party’s option is they round you all up and throw you in a volcano So, I’d hope you vote blue. Idiots.

    26. ThatB0yAintR1ght on

      Funny, because I’ve seen attack ads about how Kamala Harris pushed for trans prisoners to be able to get gender affirming care, and it made me like her more.

    28. Tiny-Professional827 on

      Vote for her and a house and a senate that can get things done and then push them to be better on those issues. People seems to to forget that they are supposed to work for us and we need to get off our asses if they aren’t good employees, get rid of them or hold them to better account
