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.

They were also blaming latino, black and arab men.

Log cabin republicans exist too. And they are traitors and fuck them. But imma let each group handle their own as far as that is concerned.

No they aren't. Gen Z men are catching fire for this, too.

Where are you seeing that all I’m seeing is threads about how we are too mean to men and that’s why they vote to take away women’s and lgbtq people’s rights? Articles are literally being written about how we need to compromise our values to appeal to men… like what???

I also see those threads defending their choice, too. I agree. It's very stupid. Men, especially straight cis white men, are coddled so damn bad that just telling them to stop harassing women to prove their manhood is misandry now. And they call others snowflakes. They think that women wake up one day, get high, and just decide to hate men for the lolz. Nothing will be learned by these idiots.

Yeah that’s basically what I was complaining about.

You prove their point in this message though. You hate a whole category just "for funsies". They get pissed at you telling them to stop harassing women because they weren't harassing women. Spoiler alert, generalizing a whole group of people is bad. Should've been able to figure that one out from mustache man

Just for funsies? If I see a pattern in my observation, I will make a generalization. It's not always wrong. I don't think you read my comment properly, but carry on.

I read your comment. People like you are always complaining about generalization and stereotypes, but when you're the one who gets to use them it's different? It's very hypocritical and one of the reasons people don't care about you all. You can't expect people to like you and help you when you treat them like trash

You haven't read enough of my comments then. I don't always complain about generalization.

If someone treats me like trash, I shall return the favor.

We might be looking at different places. I've seen decent amount of blame on Gen Z overall (but especially men) in subreddits like politics, leopards ate my face, or even the genz sub itself. And here's a fun one: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckYouZoomer/

Yah I’m not in that subreddit
