   There are facts, and there are opinions.

   You're campaigning for Donald Trump and the Republican Party. You certainly have the right to do that. But it's not accurate for you to call yourself "progressive," while you're actively working to help implement a national abortion ban, deny lifesaving medical care to pregnant women and LGBTQ people, outlaw the very existence of transgender people, and systematically deprive Black people of the right to vote.

     I'm #Black, #trans, have a uterus, and am in a same-sex marriage. I'm well aware of the threats that #Trump and the #Republicans pose to marginalized people.

     I still don't support the #Democrats, and will not vote for #KamalaHarris.

     You're welcome to disagree with my stance, but shaming me or other progressives for abstaining or voting for third-party candidates is not helpful.
