And after crunching the numbers, the organization sees warning signs in the form of soft support for Biden in the 2024 electorate.

HRC estimates that this year there will be 75 million “equality voters” — who vote based on support for LGBTQ rights — up from 62 million in 2020 and 52 million in 2016. But the group says one-third of them aren’t a lock for Biden. In the six key swing states, hundreds of thousands are “at risk of not voting,” and another group of hundreds of thousands of voters are what HRC refers to as “double doubters” who will likely defect to a third party, according to data HRC shared with NBC News.

      *republicans all powerful and get everything they want. Democrats held back by republicans blocking everything they do.

      This isn’t the best argument for supporting your party

        It’s more like

        Republicans are willing to bend the rules and cheat to get what they want

        Democrats are cucks to the system that they think is perfect

        Honestly, fuck both of them. There are no good candidates this election.

          The thing is republicans dont have to cheat, the blue wing of fascism gives them everything they want. In rhetoric they are Pelosi ripping up her copy of Trumps SOTU, In action that very same day she gave him his requested military budget and threw in a few billion extra for good measure.

        So tell what great viable far Left candidate is waiting hidden in the wings?

        Please, I’m dying to know the great alternative you’ve got lined up.

          If Democrats did their job and held their politicians accountable an alternative wouldn’t be necessary. They are supporting their own oppressors and striking back at anyone trying to hold them accountable.

              My solution is to no longer support either right wing party. Can’t claim to support progressive ideas while supporting the status quo that keeps everything the same.

                Hmmm… It’s almost as if you don’t understand how elections work.

                Also, you should look up the history of progressives becuase this situation has come up in the past.

                There were plenty of women and former slaves who worked for politicians even when they themselves couldn’t vote. Those politicians couldn’t promise to get them the vote, either.

                But I guess you’re more moral than those people long ago.

                  I understand how elections work, I also understand that voters have zero impact on policy or legislation. Thats a privilege reserved for the monied class.

    I mean - all power to them.

    But Biden and the (so-called) “Democratic” party do not deserve any of this support.

      The choice is:

      • Support candidate that is tacitly okay with genocide
      • Support candidate that is enthusiastic about genocide and stripping away LGBTQ rights
      • Say nothing and let the second candidate operate unimpeded by your opposition in key states

      I mean… come on, let’s be reasonable.

        If he’s okay with genocide over there then he’s okay with it here. I get that HRC is trying to do damage control but this is evidence that Democrats will turn on marginalized groups the very second they think it benefits them.

    I feel like I keep hearing the future is stake because we can not let Trump be president, like he literally was our president for four years. This time is different because reasons? And never in any of this is dumping Biden considered sane, because why? So a en egoist wants to run despite being wild unpopular, literally stans for war crimes against a President who said (and he delivered) that we would not get into another war, “ Cmon man” as you Biden jokes say

    How arrogant would voters have to be to vote in favor their rights while Biden is helping murder and violating human rights of brown people around the world?

    Campaigning on women’s rights while denying women’s rights to life around the world.

      Because I would like to still be alive and not a second class citizen so that I can do what I can to advocate for those who still need that recognition and aid rather than backslide and have everything be universally worse. Can’t rightly do that when I’m getting sent to the fucking camps too.

        You are already a second class citizen to the US government. In this country you either have money or you dont. Anyone without it is treated as a second class citizen, and has no representation in government.

      I don’t like it, but in reality I have 2 choices.

      1. Someone who is supporting awful things around the world, but will (at least temporarily) protect myself and my community. or
      2. Someone who will continue supporting awful things around the world, and will without a doubt persecute and hunt me and my community.

      It’s a shit choice. But its an easy choice. One candidate is a very real threat to not just myself, but my friends, family, and community. The other is not.

      I’d love our magic 3rd option to show up and be viable, but they won’t. We all know this.

          Well, By telling Biden “it is okay, you will be voted no matter what” you encourage him to be his worst. The goal is to threaten and punish Biden if he does not uphold checks notes basic human rights, international rule of law and not being complicit in the worst crimes of humanity.

          The DNC laughes about you and they are happy to fuck you over once elected again. And with you i mean everyone who is not super rich, or white upper class liberal. Believing the DNC would stick it out for LGBT rights is laughable given how happy they are to murder other minorities.

          So the people doing nothing are causing more harm than the people actively hunting and persecuting me?

          I’d disagree. That’s like saying my neighbors who didn’t put out the fire in my house are just as bad as my other neighbor who started the fire in the first place.

          We have two choices.

          Democrats haven’t done a damn thing…

            Except in your bad up scenario, neighbor 1 provided the matches to neighbor 2.

            YOU have 2 choices, neither of them is on list list. Theres a larger chance of you voting republican than me voting for either
