Don't worry, the people who need to listen to this will take one look at this and say "Well, I'M voting with my HEART", because their heart tells them to do everything they can to enable fascism in the US.

This will also work for conservatives, though. They will imsist that the most vulnerable people are unborn children, therefore they should vote anti-abortion
Will = have been for decades and will continue to do so. Up next is contraception because they will act like unfertilized eggs are children next.

Idk.
On the one hand Trump might go to prison for the rest of his life if he loses this election.
On the other hand most of my policy goals are at least considered by Biden.
So I think I'll ignore you and happily vote to send Trump to prison.

"I'm sure letting the fascists win chasing the rapturous dream that this time surely it will teach the DNC "its lesson" is 100% in the interests of that trans kid! And I get to make that judgement call because the list the fascists put out says how much further down the kill list I am from them!"
The struggling landlord who isn't even being tipped 😭
IMHO foolish to focus on the most vulnerable rather than how most people are vulnerable in some way or another and putting foremost in policy messaging changes that would help large numbers of people.
I sympathize with the plight of trans folks and other smaller disadvantaged minority groups but half of Americans are barely making ends meet, and America is falling further behind in manufacturing, infrastructure and technology/research, all while bathroom bills and grooming narratives are decade+ old very effective wedge issues.
Help the most vulnerable certainly but put front and foremost how the vast majority would be helped if you want to motivate voters and win converts.
The most vulnerable people I know are being targeted by a campaign of genocide. How do I vote in their best interests?
Assuming you're talking about Palestine, probably the one that hasn't told donors that he plans to crush protests and deport demonstrators on the matter

And disabled or chronically ill people!
I can't wait to be on the chopping block!
I mean, almost unironically, except that I would hate to give fascists any satisfaction.
Uhm...yeah. Everybody is against gender affirming surgery for minors.
Contrary to what right-wing media likes to claim, it doesn't happen.
What does happen for transgender youth is puberty blockers. That allows them to delay the hormonal changes of puberty so that they may make an easier physical transition, if they so choose, when they are an adult. In the meantime, trans girls can more easily tuck and won't develop a 5 o'clock shadow or deep voice, trans boys will not be growing breasts or menstruating, and both retain more a more gender-ambiguous frame.
But puberty blockers have other uses besides gender-affirming care, and they've long been proven incredibly safe and non-permanent.

Literally nobody is performing gender-affirming surgery on minors. It's difficult enough to get as an adult lmao
Ever heard of Project 2025?
It calls for barring transgender people from the military and to stop what it considers the “toxic normalization of transgenderism” across the government and American society. It seeks to abolish the president’s Gender Policy Council, “which it views as promoting abortion and the ‘new woke gender ideology,’”

I think they're vastly less than perfect and I don't want any of this for Americans but I want outright fascism less.

The most vulnerable person is a black trans woman, she is also a conservative, I did not think people like her existed until I met her.
She's in the sunken place.

The most vulnerable would probably be some kid in Gaza without access to clean water.
But I haven't met them.
Can I vote for them and, if so, who do I choose?
