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.

Fact is people that are willing to throw minorities under the bus to appeal to fascists are not progressive.

Fact is that if they win, other states will take note and copy.

Fact is that if you vote for lesser fascism you are still voting for fascism.

Fact is you have no plan, no clue and don't want to do anything hard so you just keep voting blue hoping things will turn around someday somehow.
