Believe it or not, the better stance than sucking up to fascists and surrendering to trans annihilation is to literally not even talk about the trans community at all. Its better to not even engage in the conversation than to call for their annihilation.
These mother fuckers already wanted to kill off trans people. Appealing to fascists is just an excuse. They themselves are fascists.
I don’t think James Talarico wants to see trans people rounded up and killed.
The Roosevelt coalition that passed the New Deal included everyone from Communist sympathizers to Southern white supremacists.
To be successful, the Democratic Party needs to be a big tent.
In North Carolina, Roy Cooper is campaigning by promising to crack down on crime. In Michigan, Democrats are running Dr. Abdul El Sayed, who is a progressive. In Kansas, the candidate is a megachurch pastor. In Nevada, Jacky Rosen is pro-Israel. In Georgia, Jon Ossoff criticized the defund the police movement.
What matters isn’t that these people agree on every issue. What matters is that they agree on taxing corporations, improving healthcare and holding Trump accountable
Elections are a game of addition, not subtraction. Forcing purity tests alienates independent voters who might otherwise support the party on core issues.
Yep, best to just say fuck all the trans people, it's a big tent and you're not in it. Sorry charlie, should have been born right. The big tent says trans bad, after all. Best to cater to the lies people have been fed about us. Vote blue no matter who!
Once trans people are banned from sports up to and including chess for their obvious (read: unproven) advantages and children are denied medically necessary healthcare, everyone will surely just let us live happily from there.
