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.

    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.
