John Braun is a much tougher opponent than Joe Kent ever was. Braun is a reliable MAGA vote but comes off (and often is) more reasonable and decent than Kent. Whereas MGP has alienated some of her base - the liberal Vancouver resident who hates MAGA. A Braun win would not surprise me.

Almost doing the right thing and then not doing it just makes it worse. Biden had plenty of opportunities to change course and his failure to do so was catastrophic for the entire planet.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

This is a bad bill—bad for environmental justice, bad for climate, bad for humans. Some good people are fighting for it b/c they don't believe we can get better, but straight up, it's a bad bill. Sometimes we have to fight like hell for better options; it's the only way we get them.

"This doesn't appeal to most people" doesn't matter because you're not doing everything to appeal to everybody, you're doing things that will be constructive to the future of your party in ways other than winning donations. But it's that last clause that bothers you, otherwise you'd be pro-M4A.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

Gregoire's austerity helped create the McCleary decision, helped create a mental health crisis, helped fill the streets with unsupervised felons, and helped ensure government wasn't ready and wasn't there when an economic boom took place without the services needed to address its impacts.

"The queer community’s organized political power does not have to fund the first Democrats willing to abandon us." We can take back Congress without compromising on our fundamental rights. 🔗https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/equality-pac-political-arm-of-congressional
“We can want Democrats to win and secure a Democratic majority while also recognizing that the queer community’s organized political power does not have to fund the first Democrats willing to abandon us,” said Tyler Hack, executive director of the Christopher Street Project, which also wields a PAC meant to fund campaign efforts to elect and retain unapologetically trans-allied politicians.

“It’s clear that the trans community needs independent political power that works to build a Democratic majority while ensuring our resources go to those who stand with us when it matters,” she said.

You could come out in support of a single payer or universal healthcare option. Lots of data shows it would be cheaper and save lives compared to our current system. These constant posts without real solutions make it feel like you're not really interested in helping people.
