This. They're not innocent moderates who happened to be taken in by a manipulator, it's people who were either supporters of authoritarianism and bigotry or who weren't, but who still decided those things weren't dealbreakers to them. ◊◊◊◊ them. I was ready for peace and reconcilliation in 2020. Never again.
I'm not going to defend any Trump voter, but I still think some were clueless and maybe never voted before. Their info came all form social media. Not saying much about the voters, they are pretty dim for doing that.
There are a lot of Cargo Cult Bipartisans out there, especially in the Democratic party. People who rather liked the possibly-never-happened era of bipartisan comity decades ago where they would go to parties with people from the other side and discuss ideas and make deals. They want to bring that era back, and have decided that the way to do it is to pretend it never stopped. Be reasonable, reach towards the middle, never be too rude or uncivil, and the other side will do the same!
January 6th should have brought down the apocalyptic wrath of the whole state on the party of treason.
The thing is the MAGAts are the same people as the Teahadists who were the same people as the Dixiecrats. The evil is generational with this crowd.
It is sad that you don't know what an actual Nazi even is. You aren't alone, though.
Dude. Trans participation in women’s sports is a losing issue for the Democrats. And not by small margins either. That you can’t even recognize that speaks volumes. But then, given your Nazi delusions, I didn’t really expect anything else. You really are drinking the Koolaid.
FTFY
Complain about it all you want to, but the fact remains, Newsome switched position because his old position is an electoral loser.
I'm not debating the topic. It doesn't matter what you and I think about it. In the context of this thread, what matters is what the electorate thinks about it. And the electorate is strongly opposed to trans participation in women's sports. That's not really up for debate, that's just a fact, one which you aren't even disputing. Newsome switched position because he's smart enough to realize that, and to act accordingly. You're upset that as a politician, he's taking the popular position instead of the fringe position. And that is, quite frankly, stupid. Seriously, what do you expect of him? To take fringe positions that could cost him his chance at winning? Why?
We aren't debating the merits of trans participation in women's sports. We're talking about Democrats taking a position on the topic. And YOU brought that up, not me. And it's ironic that you accuse me of avoiding the issue, since you're running away from this, not me.
Democrats who want to reach out to voters that aren't already going to vote Democrat automatically.
An audience. Obviously.
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of someone bringing up trans women in sports or locker rooms approaches one."
I explained why this is stupid. Running to the right never works for democrats. Especially when it requires throwing already marginalized people under the bus.
No one listening to a moron like Charlie Kirk is ever going to vote for a Democrat. Especially not the governor of Wokeifornia, Gavin Newscum. Newsom speaks in full sentences, which isn't what Charlie Kirk listeners want. There is no topic at all, be it transgender rights, gun control, tax policy, Gaza, climate change, or whatever, that Charlie Kirk and his listeners want an earnest and informed discussion about.
Of who? Billionaire donors? The right-wing media ecosystem does not exist to have intelligent discussions. It does not exist to promote "free speech" or a "marketplace of ideas". It exists to produce soundbites to push right-wing myths. All Newsom has done is give a race-baiting, smooth brained grifter credibility. Do you honestly expect me to pretend that a bunch of racists lowlifes who ride the shriveled orange dick of a rapist give one iota of a ◊◊◊◊ about women's sports? This is all a distraction and the Democrats keep playing into it.
