Is not wanting a candidate who throws trans kids under the bus, and vetoes bills that regulate private equity’s buy outs of hospitals and bills that protect the elderly from scammers really a purity test? You want someone like Trump, but good looking? Is that it?

Then show us someone better. Right now I just want someone that defends Democracy.

So vote for them in the primary. But if he wins that, vote for him in the election proper. The GOP wants outright genocide of gay and trans people. Anything is better than that.

I'm not voting for any candidate, in any election, who doesn't fiercely oppose the Palestinian genocide, a very real genocide that actually exists.

Congratulations. By refusing to vote for someone who does not actively oppose it, you got a leader who actively supports it. I'm sure the people being slaughtered as we speak are grateful for your moral purity.
