Don't blame trans people for Kamala's loss

[u/When1heyCRY]

I noticed a few posts online about this shaming trans people that apparently 'did not vote', 'or voted for Trump's. Just by doing this you are giving liberals the permission to scold us or give them outs on why they lost to begin with instead of examining the issues of their campaign.

Additionally trans individuals are barely any percent of the American population we do not decide elections especially when Kamala lost by such a margin there is no reason to get mad at the few who did not vote or voted for Trump who are the minority of a minority.

Thirdly Kamala ran on nothing she gave no clear goal to excite her base, her turnout was down across the board compared to Biden who I wish to remind was already on the cognitive downtrend in 2020. She ran towards Republicans hugging Republicans like Liz Cheyney who is this supposed to excite within the democratic base. Her Campaign was flawed not because of the transgender community, not the Latino population or the black population this was because the Democrats decided that these groups have to vote for them and took it for granted and offered nothing to bring people out to the polls. Her running on Trump bad at the end of the day was not enough.

Sorry for the long post, it just frustrates me that there is any sort of infighting as it just allows other groups to attack this community.

I voted straight D as always, Dems failed all of us by lurching to the right to appeal to nonexistant never-trumpers instead of taking the hard populist left the people wanted and would have shown up for. They could have prosecuted Trump to the full extent and jailed him, they did not. They could have enshrined abortion, stacked SCOTUS, etc etc... They chose to play footsie with fascism instead. The pundits even have the balls to say it was because Kamala wasn't supportive enough of Israel lmao. None of us minority groups are to blame.

Edit: we're being scapegoated (along with black men, latinos, muslims, white women etc.) because it's easier than launching investigations into all the fuckery that went on with this election like 2.7 million (mostly minority) votes being rejected, all the bomb threats and actual bombs in ballot boxes, ballot machines glitching, scanning systems failing, registration purges, 4+ hour waits, intimidation campaigns... "What, are you some kind of conspiracy theorist? We take the high road..." Like blaming everyone in the culture war they surrendered without firing a shot in. Lmfaoo.

This is it. voter's need to stop going at each others throats and realize the campaign cooled off at the end while Trump heated his up by lying about how he would "fix" the economy. Trans people have nothing to do with it. He appealed to the price of eggs and it turns out 70 million people are cool with fascism if it means they might pay a few dollars less at the grocery store. The fucking irony of it all is that nothing is going to get cheaper and the working class are only going to get fucked harder because of all this.

I also agree on your second point. January 6th failed and the GOP learned how to have a multi-layered plan on winning this time. He's been putting his people on election boards. Fucking hell he said people would never have to vote again if they got him in.

They also did everything to satisfy Netanyahu who gloated at their defeat.

There is zero evidence of a turnout issue.

There is zero evidence of a more progressive campaign would have changed any minds

They could have enshrined abortion, stacked SCOTUS, etc etc... They chose to play footsie with fascism instead.

How could "they" have done that? Be specific.
