it's especially infuriating because Ds don't need any help! they're winning specials with 20 and 30 point swings! they look like they might really win TX Sen! it's not november 2024; Ds electoral problems have been solved by trump being terrible! 1

the problem we have now is *how to crush fascism once we're in office!* and all the tired bigoted hacks at the NYT can offer is, "maybe fight fascism by getting in first on trans genocide?*

we're facing an unprecedented fascist challenge! let us meet the moment by...tormenting trans people! and middle class tax cuts! it's just so pathetic and unserious.

it's this constant dream of winning elections by more and more so you can do less and less.

just pretend for five fucking seconds that you have a spine and want to use said spine to help people rather than piss on them.

And Labour didn't need to do this to win in the UK in 2024, either. I think that's part of why we're seeing this full court press in the media to get Dems to move right on trans issues. It's an election they'll win no matter what their policies are, so NYT types are trying to get them to move right

just to cement this as the new normal that they can then point to as evidence for why Dems end up winning (again, they'll win pretty much no matter what this November).
