When someone says 'your money or your life,' the fact you don't like either option doesn't change your options.
Someone saying "your access to lifesaving medication or your life" is functionally the same thing as them saying "your life (slow) or your life (fast)"
'You're underselling this systemic dilemma by comparing it to being robbed at gunpoint.'
This fucking server.
As we all know, systemic forces can not be worse than being robbed at gunpoint.
You do understand that fucking holocaust survivors have called this anti-trans push genocidal, right? Democrats who are also pushing it are also pushing extermination.
Keep pounding the table about what a bastard Beshear is for doing this - that'll totally prove me wrong when I mention what a bastard Beshear is for doing this.
The immediate alternative was still worse. Unless, as we all know, an anti-trans push cannot be worse than denying medicine in prison.
This is right after the election.The immediate alternative is that democrats don't fucking cave on whether they should take part in genocide, when taking part in that genocide is actually incredibly unpopular with voters.
Do y'all not understand the difference between voters and the party, or do you conflate them deliberately? Because the topic until right this moment was the election.
The immediate alternative, for voters, in the election, was worse. The fact some bastard got in and is doing bastard things is not news, is still not a counterargument, and is not even on-topic to the concept of what voters do now.
Do you not understand that this topic includes democratic politicians straight up being collaborators, and how that might be relevant to the argument you're trying to make?
