The US Democrats need to look at their next Presidency as an endless sprint to obliterate MAGA, every day for years. Until the cancer is gone then there should be no time wasted on MAGA tears or conciliation. Only endless justice and rebuilding the democracy. Govern like every day is the last day.

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

Clearly, there are talking points coming from the league office going to the announcers telling them to defend Watsons long history of sexually assault and act like nothing happened. And they're doing it

This is the thing about AI that I love so much. Think of all the morons you know (many on this site!) using and swearing by this tech that can change the output depending on who is controlling the AI. And those dumbasses still believe it should be used for anything regarding data!

This is indeed remarkable. It also raises the question, if James Talarico can utterly reject the GOP's scaremongering fascist anti-immigrant framing & successfully promote "immigration is good for America", why can't he reject anti-trans scaremongering too?

Hey, remember how us radical trans extremists were warning that you have to go on the attack against transphobic Dems immediately because otherwise other politicians will take the lack of consequences as permission and the bigotry will spread? Yeah...

So much transphobia about kids is parents struggling to work through their own issues about their kids being trans, trying to do everything they can other than support and love them.

I think some Dems might sneak by in a wave year election running these anti-trans ads that abandon an entire section of the population, but they won't be able to outrun it with Democratic voters longterm. The more time goes on, the more likely they are to know a trans person. A permanent duncecap.

NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

I find it interesting that centrist Dems are allowing the insanely unpopular Republican Party to shape narratives in the media, it's almost as if they agree with them. Any Dem conceding ground on trans rights has zero to do with winning a state, they hate trans people and are using the GOP as cover

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

Trump is historically unpopular, launching an illegal war no one wants, doing everything he can to increase prices, and breaking records for corruption. Any Democrat running for office who embraces transphobic talking points is acting like a loser in a defensive crouch. Nobody likes losers.

Peltola could've said nothing. Polling has her favored and there's no indication that this was going to be a relevant issue in the campaign. But using transphobia as a way to message to moderates that "I'm not like other Dems" is a major Third Way/centrist consultant strategy, and she's using it.

If they win or if they lose it will be impossible to say if it was because of ads like this, but at their heart, these tactics are simply immoral and the illusion of triangulating your way to victory is corrupting to the soul.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Except the Immigrants if we need Suozzi's vote. Because we're a big tent that believes in our Equal Rights.

If folks on here want to pretend that the only thing Talarico said was about sports, that's fine—it's also not true. He would ban gender affirming care for 17 year olds. And I'm sure many of you haven't tried to figure out how to keep a trans kid from killing themselves, so you don't get it

I think the people who keep pointing out that Obama opposed gay marriage aren't really making a direct correlation with what is happening with trans rights today. The debate is over TAKING AWAY existing rights. So it would be more like Obama supporting recriminalizing gay sex.

you cannot ‘win over’ transphobic democrats they didn’t logic themselves in to transphobia. you can’t logic them out of it it is a cold, calculated, selling out of a minority for the sake of political expedience. talarico, buttigieg, newsom etc already know that they’re wrong. they’re just amoral.

Very disheartening to see more and more Dem politicians lean into anti trans positions and when trans people say "man, this sucks" they get swarmed by people yelling at them for handing elections to the GOP. Wish they had that energy for the politicians.

yelling at trans people for criticizing democratic candidates who refuse to affirm their most fundamental rights is not only cruel and wrong, but it is the opposite of effective if you actually care about turning out voters. surely there are other people in america you can focus your energies on.
