All but Fields represent swing districts, with Cuellar, Davis, Gonzalez, Kaptur and Gluesenkamp Perez considered particularly vulnerable in November’s election. (Fields’ safely Democratic district is likely to be eliminated by GOP gerrymandering, though he could choose to run for reelection in a far more conservative seat.) Republicans, who have seen the public turn against them on major issues like inflation and immigration, continue to believe they have an advantage on transgender issues ― particularly when it relates to how they are handled in schools and in kids’ sports. All of the vulnerable Democrats are likely to face attack ads on transgender issues in the fall.

The curse of the big tent. You accept conservative democrats who will break from the party sometimes or get a conservative Republican who will be a rubber stamp for Trump on everything.

I wish American politics were different, but here we are. If you want to change things then organize with your community, go down to your local Democratic party headquarters, and coopt their infrastructure from the ground up.

Or tell people to vote 3rd party (Any third party, it doesn’t matter!) and then whine online that suppressing votes for Democrats didn’t fix things, I can’t tell you what to do.

The curse of the big tent.

Your tent should try to welcome the left instead of fight them to impress the fascists you adore.

Oh shit, it’s ensign crab. I was afraid you’d killed yourself since you’re so upset about genocide [as long as being upset about the genocide is politically helpful to Donald Trump]. Glad you managed to soldier on!

And unfortunately yes, that does mean in some districts you can’t expect to support trans rights and win. Reality sucks. Its unfortunate you don’t have any solutions other than shitty devise commentary and voter suppression in leftist spaces.

The solution is easy. Offer progressive policies. The most transphobic piece of shit still wants healthcare. If offered universal healthcare, their opinion will be along the lines of, “yeah, I don’t like them trans people, but if I can afford to see my doctor then I don’t give a fuck”.

We see progressive policies win over folks all the time. That’s why people like Bernie Sanders can go on Fox, sit in front of a live audience of Fox supporters, and get that entire audience to support him and his platform by offering healthcare or affordable housing or any other progressive policy.

Establishment Dems know this but refuse to support progressive policies because then they’d actually have to do something beyond using the Republicans to scaremonger. If establishment Dems would just listen to their constiuents, we wouldn’t be in this mess. A majority of the blame lies at the feet of the Democratic Party.

Lol you are out of touch with reality friend. Besr case scenario the most transphobic piece shit is going to say “I don’t care if I can afford health care, I don’t want my kids getting molested by trans people”. More likely they’re going to say “Fuck off with your socialism, I don’t want your well fare and stop trying to sell my kids to trans pedohiles”.

Sorry reality sucks, but here we are.

You can just say what you mean about trans people without ascribing it to one of the bigots you admire.
