Honestly, people that rich don’t need to be worrying about their home address being public. Hell, we all used to have the addresses of everyone in town delivered to our front door. It was called the White/Yellow pages.

For people this rich, there’s really no danger of their home address being public. Their homes have extensive security guards and tall fences. The address of someone like a twitch streamer getting doxed is a big deal. They’re mostly just ordinary people that happen to have a very public job. If you’re an average person without a security detail, having your address public means some rando could show up at your front door. For a billionaire, having your address leaked just gets added to the threat profile of your security team.

“better to do at night” == '“best only at night.”

I mean you can look at the Sun through a telescope. Just don’t forget the solar filter!

Astronomy best only at night? Where is you God now?

No. It’s a deeper change than that. Young people also aren’t just grabbing some alcohol and hanging out at each other’s apartments/houses drinking, at least not as much as prior generations.

You have electoral myopia.

There are two jobs voters have in this election:

1. Get the existing fascists out of power.

2. Prevent the Democrats from also falling to fascism.

You cannot focus on just one. If you’re focusing on just one, you are failing as a voter.

Only unhinged if you’re so brain rotted you can’t think past a single election.

I mean, that is kindof Satan’s whole deal.

No. Her winning is worse than the Republican winning, at least for trans people. This is an infection in the Democratic Party, and every TERF Democrat that wins spreads the infection even more.

Just imagine telling a black person they had to vote for someone that supports segregated drinking fountains, all in the name of "the greater good.’

Quit mansplaining trans issues to trans people.

A complete lack of specific action suggested. So tired of these “don’t even try not even in the primaries” comments. Just some vague wave a wand and have a new system, avoiding precisely how that would happen.

Run for president on a platform of “I will dissolve the United States.” This could actually be done, and it would require no Constitutional amendment whatsoever.

Someone could run for office saying, “I’m going to literally fire everyone the day I’m sworn in. I will not send in the military to prevent states from seceding. I’ll effectively be granting all 50 states independence. They can then come back together in whatever new country or countries they want to form.”

Throw out your high school civics. Don’t try to argue how illegal or unconstitutional this would be, as it wouldn’t matter. The original Articles of Confederation weren’t legal; they were just done. Same thing here. There’s no mechanism to prevent a president from doing this, and once the federal government has been completely unwound and its powers taken over by the states, there’s really no putting Humpty Dumpty back together at that point.

You don’t actually need to reach the threshold of amending the Constitution in order to blow the whole thing up. You just need a president that will openly announce that he’ll let any and all states secede from the Union. That’s it. Legality doesn’t matter here. What matters is power.

So what the fuck are you doing BEFORE the general election?

Voting in the general election is how you vote in the real primary - the money primary. The money primary is the first real contest of an election. The “primaries” you tell us to focus on really aren’t the first contest. The money primary is. And the donors pick candidates they hope can win. And since Kamala lost in 2024, pro-genocide Democrats are going to have a hell of a harder time winning the money primary in 2028 than they did in 2024.

By the time you get to the ballot in the primary, the real contest is already over.

I’m sick of it in general where there is a certain kind of “leftist” / contrarian “independent” that loves to act like they need to be catered to and they often have a purity test or two.

What kind of privileged-ass take is this? I’m sorry, but if you can’t understand why some groups need to have hard red lines about who they’ll vote for, then you’re a moron. For example, the hard red line for the Muslim community was, “don’t support a genocide against Muslims.” We’re not talking about minor preferences here. People attach red lines to their votes on things that are absolutely essential, sometimes for their very lives.

I’m sorry, but I as a trans person will never vote for a transphobic Democrat, even in the general election. You can fuck right off with the tired “lesser evil” bullshit. I’m thinking 10 elections ahead, not just the one right in front of us. And Democrats turning transphobe represents a much greater direct threat to my life than Republicans winning a Senate seat in Ohio.

You want to talk about vulnerable people? Don’t just bring up our names, actually fucking listen to us.

As a trans person, I encourage you to vote against any transphobic Senate or House candidate, even if they are a Democrat. There are few enough of these sleazeballs now that we can vote against them without risking a major election. But honestly, Democrats going transphobe is a far greater risk to trans people than Democrats ending up with a slightly smaller margin in the House or Senate.

Losing one election just means losing one election. Democrats turning transphobes means that trans rights are dead for a generation.

So listen to vulnerable minorities for once, instead of just citing us as a silent example, treating us how Republicans treat fetuses.

Democrats aren’t going to do a single fucking thing to fight fascism. No party wants to decrease the powers of the presidency.

Weird how “vulnerable people” are used to justify voting for corporate dems, but when members of those actual “vulnerable communities” share their views and their red lines, they’re told to sit down, shut the fuck up, and know their place. For so many, Democrats,“vulnerable communities” are just a rhetorical tool.

Exactly. So many morons on here think that the “primary” is the first real contest. The “primary” they tell us to focus on isn’t the real primary. The real primary is the money primary - the contest that determines who actually appears on the primary ballot.

You would vote for the leader of the Ku Klux Klan as long as they supported Medicare for All.

You can stop repeating lesser evil like a broken record.
