In commemoration of the upcoming Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), President Joe Biden issued a statement praising trans people’s contributions to society and describing actions his administration has taken to counter transphobic bullying and extremism. Additionally, many members of Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) also issued their own statements affirming that community health depends on supporting trans people too.
“Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation,” Biden wrote in his statement. “Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves.”
I’m only voting for him because the other option and inaction are death sentences. I don’t like the guy at all and would vote for someone else given the option.
That said, for all his centrist tendencies he does seem to occasionally cave in to pressure. It just takes time.
i don’t know about you; but i’ve been voting for the “lesser evil” for 40 years now and there’s never been anything other than voting for the “lesser evil” each time.
i’ve started to believe that our circumstances are engineered so that we will only continue to get the “lesser evil” guaranteeing that we will eventually get the greater evil anyways and biden doesn’t have another 25 years to cave in to pressure.
Petition for an end to FPTP voting if you want to see change.
Unfortunately, you’re going to be voting for “not the other option” for the rest of your life since democrats will see that this is the perfect strategy they can use to never have to actually change the status quo.
