      >Sorry… you don’t think voting for Biden is an effective way to stop Trump and the Republicans from implementing project 2025?

      no. the republicans will work toward that no matter how i vote, and biden has been in power in washington for the 50 years that lead to the current state. i don’t believe voting for him will stop any of it.

          trump didn’t write p2025. it’s the republican machine, which will maintain basically all of its power regardless of the outcome in november, which will be implementing it.

              they already control some of the states, legislature-and-executive, as well as many of the courts at the state and federal level. having the presidency would make some of the proposals easier, but not guaranteed. having biden in office would make things harder for them, but not a sure loss.

              and the difference, that gap between what is inevitable and what is possible-but-not-guaranteed by a trump victory is incredibly slim. further, as i said before, it was democrats who made this system possible, and joe biden has a great deal of the responsibility himself.

              so there is no rational case that voting for biden will make things better.

                What, specifically, apart from “tell people on the internet not to vote for Biden” (which you oddly think is helping) have you done about the ongoing queer genocide in the United States?

                    “i do most of my organizing in meatspace.”

                    That is not a specific. Your organizing could be for PETA for all I know.

                    What, specifically, have you done about the ongoing queer genocide?
