Its not center-right. People in the US are not "ideological" they have opinions on issues, and some are more important to them than others. Framing it this way is very disingenuous.

This is why "stop yelling at the Dems until after midterms" was a psyop doomed to fail. Turns out, they don't like being yelled at, and it makes them stop doing the thing you're yelling at them for. And honestly that's the closest thing to democracy we have anymore.

FYI, this is happening because WSF is refusing to even give engineers a cost of living adjustment in their next contract. The salary they mention here just happens to be the highest out of six. Also, it's illegal to not give them sick leave. It's not a flex!

A Facebook post from Washington State Ferries:

This morning, 23 engine room employees called in sick. Every employee qualified to fill those positions has declined to fill them and keep the ferries running. All of the employees calling in sick, and declining to fill those vacancies, are represented by the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association (MEBA) who represent engine room employees. The ferries cannot run without these roles being filled. As a result, 13 of our 18 ferries are not in service. We understand how disruptive this is to thousands of Washingtonians. We expect our employees to return to work as soon as possible.
The employees who work in the engine room play a vital role in providing WSF’s safe service, which is why Staff Chief Engineers have a base salary of $157,000, and can make more than $350,000 a year with overtime, as well as annual sick and vacation leave, and retirement accrual.
All WSF vessels are fully staffed at the beginning of every service day at U.S. Coast Guard required levels. When an employee calls in sick, request dispatchers work to fill the position as quickly as possible. When those positions aren’t filled, the boat cannot sail, which is what we’re experiencing today across 13 of the 18 vessels currently in service.

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.

"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.

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.

“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.
