“Democrats should be focusing on Trump’s tanked economy and our diminished standing on the world stage,” said Jeremy Comeau, president of the National Federation of Stonewall Democrats. “People are being hammered by the cost of living, and we have a president who’d rather rename a gulf like some deranged cartographer than deal with the realities of the world. Democrats should be running on that every single day.
“Instead, some candidates think the way to look moderate is to take a swing at trans people first. That’s not moderate; that’s just careless, and it’s not what’s going to win this election.”
There’s a simple answer. Don’t waste precious breath, simply tell the truth, I stand for the rights of trans people like I stand for the rights of every citizen. Trans rights are human rights. Also, this is a distraction, this is not a national panic, there’s not very many of them, they have always been here, they will continue to be here and they’re no more of a threat today, tomorrow, or the next day than they were 100 years ago, so I’m not getting dragged into rage bait, and if they push the issue, asked and answered.
You don’t need to expound expansively on it, and the more you do, the more likely you are to be playing to a niche subset of a niche subset anyway. A simple “That’s a gross way to frame that, and also bait” is usually sufficient. We don’t need to abandon “Trans issues” we just need make it clear, they’re scaring themselves with ghost stories and a handful of spectacularly rare problems, and if they keep whipping themselves into a frenzy, it won’t be long until they’re beating women to death to find out if she has the right parts inside.
This is the same failed strategy Democrats have been trying for a decade.
Nope. Trying to compromise with bigoted lunacy is the failed strategy the Dem leadership has been trying for SEVERAL decades.
People need to work on the their reading comprehension. The failed strategy is the idea that we can shy away from trans rights and try to portray it as a distraction. GreenBeards comment is not describing anything new. They’re describing the very strategy Democrats have been using for a decade at this point. They’re too cowardly to come out and fully defend and support trans people, and they try to third way it.
I don’t know how to explain to you, we are not throwing trans people under the bus. Period. If you can’t win without a scapegoat, then you don’t deserve to win. If this is to end in fire, we will all burn together and you’re coming down with us.
You tried to throw Palestine under the bus and created this. Do it again and you will lose worse. Grow a spine and stand for something. Democrats are failing because no one trusts them. So earn some goddamn trust and quit looking for the next minority you can sacrifice.
You have very poor reading comprehension.
