Nah there's definitely people that don't mind trans people.at all but are uncomfortable with someone who was born a man playing in women's sports. He's not appealing to the hard right, he's appealing to the middle ground people that live in a very conservative state. I am not saying I would do the same, but I get it.

    I live in that very conservative state and foolishly thought that we finally had a candidate that didn't give bigots' framing surrounding vulnerable minorities credence.

    Cool, make sure you still vote for the guy that said all the other stuff about it till now when he was on fox news and put a big if statement on it. Don't be stupid. Bernie or nothing got us trump.

    Clinton got us trump. Harris got us trump again. I voted for both of them.

    Stop blaming the left because your candidates can't build the voter enthusiasm to beat trump.

    It's like your world is black and white and there's no nuance or grey area in anything. Good luck.

    It's like you can't comprehend that you lose because voters have standards even when you don't.

    Yes that's what it is, it isn't that there's a ton of people in this country and it's not homogeneous.

    And some of them have standards. Maybe if centrists ever listened to them, we wouldn't have trump.

    But it's always the job of the filthy worthless voters to compromise and vote for genocide and bigotry. For the good of the shit wing of the party.
