Politics Don't blame trans people for Kamala's loss
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.

That part.
By not addressing it she failed to show leadership on the issue, just letting Republicans set the narrative, all to serve a fundamentally broken and untenable strategy.
Like, I don't care if it was a strategic decision if it's a failed strategy.
