Voting isn't an endorsement for literally everything a candidate says and does. No one even knows who you vote for unless you tell them. It's about picking the best of the choices. Your lack of a vote is just as much an endorsement of genocide as a vote for Trump, especially since he won.

It absolutely does. Go out with a bang, not a whimper! Show the people that you wanted to fight for them! Show them what you really think of this stupid, hateful rich asshole! Have a spine! Voters' memory is short, sure, but it wouldn't be nothing! And there are vulnerable people in the interim who need to know they're not alone!

But of course this is the team that thought leaning even more conservative would win them an election. Of course they'll happily wave this in.

He absolutely has a choice in exactly how welcoming he wants to be

It's because being "gentlemanly" by sitting back and letting this happen is the absolute pinnacle of falling victim to the paradox of intolerance. Trump has zero tolerance for democracy. Letting this traitor back into office to dismantle any hope of free and fair elections in the future is fucking stupid, and the more decorum shown to this fascist moron, the more his future actions are legitimized to the public.

It's true that refusing to hand over the office in any way is undemocratic in its own right. I can't pretend to know what the exact right answer is: the dumbass, impressionable electorate put us here by voting how it did. But smiling and shaking hands while this fuck prepares to dismantle our freedoms is so, so dumb.

Oh cool, good job waiting until AFTER the election to do this incredibly basic and easy move, everyone. Jesus fucking christ

The whole "trans women in sports" thing is one of those talking points that technically has some validity, but is used in bad faith as a wedge by bigots to try to enact far reaching bans on all trans people in all spaces. Trying to talk to people who bring that up is exasperating because if you give them that inch, they'll take a mile, instead of acknowledging how puberty blockers and long-term HRT level the playing field, or trans men.

I think most of them simply opt to not use the Internet as often

You can download Firefox and install Ublock on the mobile app, then just go to YouTube.com. That's how I usually do it on my android phone anyway; I assume it works for iOS too

I wasn't really referring to the free years, but the many years where people put up with increasingly loud and lengthy commercial breaks which became so invasive that shows would literally design their beats around being interrupted
