Whenever you see anyone urging a certain course of action online, ask yourself who stands to benefit the most. Trans people not voting = transphobes. Climate change denial = fossil fuel companies. It's always the same playbook.
If it's happening, I imagine it's something along the lines of "Biden did bad things to trans people. If you vote for him, you don't support trans rights. And Trump is even worse! Don't vote/vote third party. " There are other issues where I've seen this argument, not specifically for trans folks, though.
If you're planning on voting for a rapist, someone with 34 felonies that paid a pornstar hush money from campaign funds for sex while his wife was at home pregnant, you should probably stay home clutching your pearls instead of voting.
How many people are actually advocating for non voting?
All I see on Lemmy is people begging for a candidate with a better shot at beating trump, and then they get screeched at that only Biden can stop trump because....
Well, they never give a reason why it has to be Biden.
It isn't enough for these people to cast the underprivileged into the fires, they won't be satisfied until they've convinced the underprivileged to throw themselves in as an act of holier than thou defiance
