The trans rights position is very straightforward: Simply being trans should not exclude you from any part of society. If you can't get behind that, then maybe you really ARE a bigot.
we can argue about how to appeal to 51% of texas voters on issues, etc, but this Dem obsession with "winning republican voters by getting endorsements from 'elite' republicans" is bizarre. you don't throw the bums out by pointing to all the bums who love you, actually
James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social · 3d agoBREAKING: 20+ Republican leaders just endorsed our campaign for US Senate. We’re bringing Texans together onto one team to take power back for working people. Because the real fight in this country isn't left versus right — it's top versus bottom.
Anyway, if you want to get people to vote for your preferred candidate, what would you rather do: Convince hundreds of thousands of people to hold their nose and vote for a guy that doesn't fully believe in their human rights Convince 1 person to pledge to support the rights of their constituents
“youre goddam right im for them just like im for all texans” wouldve gone hard as a rebuttal had talarico not just spent the last 3 days tripping over himself to move right on this issue congrats to the talarico team for painting yourselves into a very predictable corner

3 things about Dem politicians who dabble in transphobia: 1. It's wrong, they're wrong, on a moral basis they're being evil 2. It's stupid, they're stupid, they'll never get any credit from the fascists for it 3. It's proof you're not capable of reading or rising to this, and therefore any, moment

I really wish more Dems would go meta on this and ask whose interests it serves that candidates for the United States Senate are being asked about how they would micromanage the eligibility rules for local youth sports leagues.

Jesus Christ your opponent sucks so bad they're having to spend actual money defending the seat, why would you play on their terrain

“hello would you like to try the AI designed schizophrenia treatment i synthesized in my garage?”
personally I think we should just take the ai doomers at their word and shut it down if they’re telling the truth, well, good thing we shut it down. If they’re exaggerating, well, they shouldn’t have done that
