This got removed from politics because "Video links are not allowed" apparently? Pretty weird considering that most politicians say stuff on video nowadays and not really writing articles anymore since the invention of the radio pretty much lol. Hope it's a better fit here, this is the kind of stuff people should be aware of.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.

Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.

You aren't fucking listening. I didn't say don't vote at all. I said don't vote for this seat. This isn't a god damn purity test, this is a candidate openly saying that I shouldn't have rights.

    And what is the other saying about you and countless others?

    Only one of those two can win. You are letting the worse option win and are okay with even more people losing rights or dying?
