If that's how you interpret my comment that's on you. I feel Talarico will do more for marginalized communities than anyone TX had on the ballot in 50+ years.

    Oh, sorry that I don't have the appropriate enthusiasm for being thrown under the bus.

    You've misinterpreted 2/2 of their comments and misinterpreted Talarico's beliefs about trans people.

    Editing your comment to add twice the content as well as chants we both agree with in massive font does absolutely nothing to contribute to this discussion and distracts from what you said.

    He won the primary by being an unapologetic ally, and then decided it was a losing strategy.

    It's the same shit CEOs and bad management throw QA, IT, low level programmers, nurses, teachers, or any other frontline workers under the fucking bus. I see right through it, and object to it.

    Trans Rights Are Worker's Rights

    Trans Rights Are Indigenous Rights

    Trans Rights Are Minority's Rights

    Trans Rights Are Women's Rights

    Trans Rights Are Human Rights

    Most Democrats in contested areas are actively disconnecting from engaging in Culture War talking points.

    One can quietly support and vote for trans rights while not openly engaging in arguments about trans people which scare off moderates/fence-sitters/"I'd vote for that Democrat because Trump is terrible, but I'm afraid of trans people" types.

    FYI to the user who replied to me below, I blocked you a while back when you were doing a bunch of bad faith arguments. I can't recall if you were one of the people straw-manning western liberals or one of the ones that tagged in to start the name-calling sideshow.

    If the best defense you can make about a person is that they're lying to the voters, then how can we know if their real stance is actually better and not worse? How do you know that you're not the one being deceived as opposed to the "moderates" and "fence sitters?"
