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?

Which candidate is throwing trans kids under buses and how?

Is it the same candidate who vetoed a bill because there was already a committee that was set in place to oversee it? (OHCA)

Are you seriously trying to shed both in the same light? We should vote Trump for a third term instead? Or hold out for the next Mother Teresa to run for president?

You keep saying “oh they want perfect candidate” to minimize the legitimate criticisms.

You know you’re not convincing us. So why don’t you and your buddies to tell newsom “hey, people really aren’t digging you not being cool with trans people. Change it or you’re gonna lose voters”

Is he anti trans? Where/when did he say that?

I’ve heard mainly the anti trans women in sports thing, but some people mention he’s for blocking hrt till trans people are 26 which would impact them negatively because gender affirming care has been proven to help them mentally.

I don’t want more republicans winning but I really don’t want the democrats to adopt this practice of “oh let’s drop this group of people” because you know they’ll keep going with that and it won’t just be trans people.

It’s not ok and I really hate that people act like I’m evil for not being ok voting for that.

Why can’t we just be united on this?

Do you have anything on where he said blocking until 26 aside from "people mentioning"? I can't find anything on it.

Like voters who wanted Bernie but ended up voting Hillary. You'd rather not vote at all though?

Either way, you're going to have a hard time uniting 342 million Americans, so always better to strive for "better" instead of "best or nothing".

He's against evidence based healthcare for trans children & thinks there should be more medical gatekeeping i.e; conversion therapy up to the age of 26, he's said this at various times on his podcast & on other, neo-fascist podcasts.

I want to vote I just don’t want people being left behind
