Your Democratic administration betrayed you.

This is such nonsense. Did I get everything I wanted out of any administration? No. Because surprise surprise, I'm not the only person in the country with a vote and with priorities. Your answer to not getting things you want to is to not vote at all so you will get EVEN LESS?

learning about Roe repeal and doing nothing to stop it

You are dramatically ill-informed and your logic is flawed. We lost Roe V. Wade because we lost the Supreme Court. So you want another Trump administration to solidify the conservative majority to make sure it gets worse? This administration has done a lot to protect reproductive rights. Do I want more? Of course, but I'm not going to... I've been waiting all day to say this... throw the baby out with the bath water because the Dems couldn't do everything. You want to punish them by helping Republicans win the white house? That makes sense to you?

The Dems did a great deal to try to stem the tide here, despite not having a majority in the house. Here's just one of many articles discussing that: https://19thnews.org/2023/06/democrats-house-senate-abortion-dobbs/

As for transgendered people, the Federal Government

The federal government doesn't have jurisdiction over state law. All they can do, which it turns out is quite a bit is use federal agencies and regulations to put in place what protections they can. And this administration has done more than any other, for which I am personally grateful.

No matter who we elect at the Federal level, we get fascism.

This is just an incredibly immature statement to make. We do not have fascism. But there's a decent chance we will under Trump.

but in a few years it won’t, because Donald Trump is probably going to be reelected

Right, so let's bitch and moan about how the Dems aren't doing a good enough job so we can make sure Trump DOES get elected.

Honestly.
