Trans person here, Harris sucked as a candidate. Her refusal to take any sort of stance against an ongoing genocide isn’t the sole reason for her loss but it was certainly a pretty big factor, alongside all of the other positions she didn’t meaningfully differentiate herself from Biden on in an attempt to win over non-existent moderate republicans. I don’t blame a single person for refusing to vote for her, no one’s vote belongs to a party. Being upset at the people who wanted at least one of the candidates running for president to not be actively supporting a genocide, instead of at those politicians, who were actively supporting a fucking genocide, seems at best misguided.
(Also, of the anarchist/leftist groups and spaces I’ve visited or been a part of irl, a pretty significant number of the people there have been queer or trans or in some other marginalized group.)
