Man, wouldn't it be great if pressuring a couple of relatively-sane people is our only challenge in the near future. Given that we can't go shopping for an ideal candidate about this, we'll just have to ride their butts once they're elected, just as we do with Congress. So it doesn't much matter. They can do whatever gets them the most votes. (Seriously, I'm not going to be sad about some TRA tears later.) I'm sure that isn't what some want to hear, but there is no Planet B. These are two actual human beings who are capable of changing their minds. I will worry about this AFTER we get them elected.

Either way this shit is a marathon, so lace up.

I have been around politics for decades and I say, based on experience, that we have almost zero control about what politicians will do, except vote, but even then, a lot of voting has been corrupted.

For instance, The Smirking Chimp, George Dubya, did not actually win Ohio in 2004. I witnessed, firsthand, all sorts of vote fraud that swung Ohio to Bush.

Especially in the last few years, and especially with the Democrats and Trans Demands Activism, what politicians do after getting into office is almost 100% controlled by lobbyists. Also, what we citizens know about politics is almost 100% from a press that has also been corrupted by lobbyists.

Even the "Left" press like NPR and Democracy Now! is receiving a shitload of money from Trans, Inc., as well as other donors about other issues, and you can tell if you watch/listen to them. Or just look at their finances.

Look at the Hallelujahs Harris is receiving from the Lefty press. Again, I have been alive for many elections, and participated as a volunteer in quite a few - what actually does Harris bring to the table beyond her skin color? She's intelligent, but so are dozens of other black female politicians. Harris was probably chosen because she is notably one of the politicians with no core mission - she sways with the wind, or rather with her donors.

So, sadly, if you think we will be able to change Biden (who is so in bed with the Gender Lobby that his Biden foundation is partnered with an organization, Gender Spectrum, that is going into schools and trying to make gay kids transgender) and Harris (who in CA could get Big Pharma and tech TRA money) once they get into office, think again.

It will probably be conservatives and independents, and on the local level, who will raise such a stink about their kids being propagandized into being transgender, that politicians will be forced to listen. And then the backlash against T will eventually reach national politics, but that could take years.

And as everyone on this sub know, the backlash of the T+ could also lead to a backlash against LGB - that GLAAD Harris poll seems to indicate it's already started.

So pls get out there and tell people that, while you 100% support trans having the same, not greater, the same, civil rights as everyone else, LGB and TQ+ are not the same and so don't support trans DEMAND activism in your name.

If the Dems win the Senate and the presidency, and the Equality Act is signed into law as they will do, and Americans start to see that it means that men can access spaces that women need for safety, I guarantee that the backlash against the LGB will be horrible.

These are two actual human beings who are capable of changing their minds.

I mean, they are literally speaking, two human beings. I'm not sure about Harris but in my opinion, Biden is just a step away from being Trump. Racist, corrupt as hell, long history of sexually assaulting women. I feel sick at the thought of voting for him but I'm going to have to do it anyway because court justice selection and international perception make a difference. Just my 2 cents.

We gotta do what we gotta do. We're playing the long game.
