    And also, the US bombs all the groups above you just mentioned without distinction. The Obama administration for example dropped an average of 80 bombs every day of his presidency on the middle east and north africa.

      For trans people in the U.S., the difference between a GOP win and a Dem win in the house, senate, and presidential elections is the difference between having or not having certain rights.

      Federal prisons now will force trans women to be transferred to male prisons and they will be denied gender-affirming care like access to estrogen.

      If you are a trans person in the U.S. there is a clear difference between the Dems and the GOP - one is clearly better than the other.

      Nothing in response has responded to this, shown it to be false, etc.

      It does not require that we overlook that the Dems have far-right policies, especially on immigration and international affairs. It does not require we defend U.S. imperialism to say the Dems are better than the GOP for trans people in the U.S. Both are true.

      I understand the moral disgust and the impulse to see how villainous the Dems are, I feel the same way, but if you care about the political outcomes, you can’t ignore that there remain significant and tangible differences between the parties and their policies.
