22. Not literal

But I find it unbelievable that people are willing to throw democracy away bc they aren’t going to get 💯 what they want. For example, I have an uncomfortable amount of students of color wearing MAGA hats bc they’re mad about trans kids in sports. So they’re willing to let democracy due to give a middle finger to the trans community.
And yes his ceiling is 47-48%, but he can win the EC with that amount. Republicans are roughly 50% of this country and for the most part they are white and christian. We are the other 50% and we are 5% this, 10% that, and a bunch of 1-2%. It’s a delicate coalition and to expect a candidate to be everything to everyone is irrational. She’s trying to secure a victory here. And this isn’t against a Romney. This is against a Hitler. I’m completely comfortable with her reaching out to anyone her campaign thinks is gettable. Some if us have even more at stake in this election. Our right to exist. Period. I’m a gay man living in a red state. My mother just died a couple months ago and I’m trying to care for my Dad, but with the laws they’re trying to pass I may not be able to stay here. It’s scary and for people to be so picky when Trump and Project 2025 is a real physical threat to people is mind blowing.
