Trans journalist Erin Reed has published a list of Democratic midterm candidates with anti-trans records, and the question she is forcing is one the party would rather not answer: if trans voters keep rewarding Democrats who harm them, what signal does that send? The calculation is real, the stakes are high, and there is no clean answer.

    It’s the same fixation people had with Gaza and gas prices and whether a candidate supports Brittney Spears. There are far too many single issue voters now and they are fucking up politics to the point that we have launched ourselves towards an Idiocracy at hyper speed.

    Why? Because BOTH sides have been defunding education. And don’t give me shit about how one side does it more than the other. I don’t care.

      When your single issue is human rights and genocide, they are not to blame. It’s the parties who choose to pursue these policies.
