Numerous Democratic midterm candidates have previously made anti-trans statements or voted for anti-trans legislation. Trans journalist Erin Reed published a list yesterday of these candidates and advised her followers not to vote for them, lest their victories convince the Democratic Party “that throwing transgender people under the bus is a winning strategy,” Reed wrote.
People like Mamdani won because people voted for them in primaries, and then voted in the general. Protest non-voters didn’t lead to shit, except Republican victories.
