All my trans siblings have my sympathy in this fucking shit-ass time we live in, but especially those not in blue states. I hope you make it out - whether out of the state, or out of this period of fucked up time we live in.
I do feel it would be better if they voted 3rd party tho. We know more about those throw away votes than we do of the non-voting group. Gives the big tent party some solid statistics on how to pivot to get them on board for a coalition. It might also mean that we get more 3rd party election wins on local stuff. Tho I think that last part matters more in blue states. As someone who cannot quite move out if their red state I get what you are saying too. My last congress vote had a standard corporate democrat vs a MTG clone.
If you’re in a swing state, sure, vote strategically. But if you’re not, voting for a third party has a lot higher chance of sending a useful signal to the dominant party.
Dear Tankies
My life matters too much to be pointlessly sacrificed so we can throw the election by voting for Jill Stein
Sincerely, a transwoman not in a blue state.

Both, I suppose.
