The Human Rights Campaign is launching a spending push in six key states to rally “equality voters” — and warns that many still need to be persuaded to vote for Biden.

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

        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.

            So much complaining, so little solution.

              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.

        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.
