“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.”
Yeah. But it was a decade of drum-beating and election results in-between. Plus the “defense of marriage” idiocy, and proposed amendment.
So when it magically disappeared it was all the more obvious what a stunt it had been.
I remember 2004 that was bush’s big thing to whip up support. Seems so quaint now compared to what we have going on, as horrific as it all was then with the worst president to date.
I forgot about the amendment thing, trying to remember that was 2004 election stuff too right?
