Kansas revoked driver's licenses of 1,700 transgender residents

Kansas is one of five states to prohibit trans people from changing gender markers on ID and the first to pass a law that retroactively cancels licenses.

@fathermcgruder

i don't understand your complaint

"what if something bad happens"?

of course. there's numerous other scenarios where something can go wrong

or the centrist dem can straight up beat the leftist dem in the primary

and?

the simple point is:

if you vote, you may lose. if you don't vote, you *will* lose

nevermind that if leftists show the fuck up, their concerns will be addressed rather than ignored

no elected official cares about people who don't #vote

you *make them* care

@fathermcgruder

There *is* something entitled to your vote:

Your society

You're not trans or an immigrant etc so Trump's malice doesn't threaten you

So you are privileged to play silly games like "teach dems a lesson" and allow your society to go to shit. Because it doesn't affect you (or you're too stupid to realize it affects you)

Centrist dems aren't listening to your "lesson." Not voting means you don't care

You have to show up and *replace* centrist dems in the primaries

#vote

" #Democrats deliver ‘stunning’ flip in New Hampshire special election, latest in series of 28 upsets"

remember the game plan:

1. #vote in the #primaries, get real left #candidates

if you don't, don't complain about corporatist dems ever again: you're the fucking problem

2. #vote in the general #election no matter who wins the primary

yes the dems fucking suck. but if you're willing to do nothing, helping #fascism, because you want perfect: you're an entitled moron

Bobbi Boudman’s win over Republican Dale Fincher could be a harbinger of blue wave during midterms

#midterms coming up

#register to vote now

show up in the #primaries to get real left #candidates in a few weeks

if that fails, show up in the general #election anyways even if you feel the #democrats are shit

they are shit

that's not the fucking point. it's just tactics in a larger war

the point is to get the #house to freeze the #trump agenda

#VOTE, MOTHERFUCKERS

lazy entitlement because you don't get perfect only helps #MAGA
