Democrats are already sacrificing climate targets, asylum seekers, and Palestinians. Yet another sacrifice on the pyre?
At some point you're just voting for Republicans.

Unfortunately I think a good percentage of people on Lemmy, especially in lemmy.world, are quite comfortable with that
How does public facing statements make trans people vulnerable? Legislation is the power of legislators.
Being quiet about an issue during the campaign makes little difference if they are supportive in office.
Being strategically quiet during a campaign is a good strategy, if only they were smart enough to use it on even more divisive issues, like the genocide.
As a Dutch citizen I just want to kick the shit out of this post and all it stands for. Seriously your system is broken. Period.
I reject the premise of your question.
Trans rights are human rights, and how you treat anyone in your society is how you treat everyone. Democrats were scared in the '80s and '90s to support gay people for this exact reason, and instead of losing elections they started winning because people realize gay people are people. They lost elections because they weren't brave enough to stand with the courage of their convictions, and in my opinion that's what they deserved.
Interesting. Then I’m guessing you’d accept the time machine showed you the right outcome & would let the dems lose this election, but it would help them for the next/future elections?
Whenever the Republicans have campaigned on anti-trans bullshit they've lost. It's getting more and more common for cis people to have trans people casually exist in their lives, and are therefore less likely to be a raging bigot
I want trans rights for my fellow country trans people, but honestly... YES! Because fuck giving in to the red hat wierdos that want to take away everyone's rights.
This kind of post just shows why I think politicians are spineless cowards. If winning is everything to anyone, they should stick to investing in a stock market.
