In the continuing race to see who can throw transgender people under the bus most quickly, South Carolina Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Annie Andrews has released a new direct-to-camera campaign ad in which she states that she does not support trans athletes playing in sports that affirm their gender identity.
SUPPORTING Trans people is a WINNING issue? Quick! THROW Trans people UNDER the Bus!
-LITERALLY Democrats!
They can’t hide their hatred
Supporting trans people is a winning issue for Democrats but it’s not for conservative Republicans.
This election specifically Democrats are hopeful they’d get votes from a large portion of traditionally Republican voters so they are pushing a bit on Trans to please Republicans but not too much that they lose their Democrat voters
That’s not just this election. That’s been every election in my memory. They cling to this strategy, even though it keeps failing.
Clinton rode third way into office and the party hasn’t been able to move on since then.
It never works, buuuuut maybe this time will be the exception. -Dems
Schumer bangs on about having an imaginary Republican couple in his head dictating his every action. If that isn’t a big fuck you to the people who vote democrat I don’t know what is.
Surely this time they’ll want a watered down version of the thing they keep going harder on!
But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. It’s what they do on all of the “controversial issues” since the dawn of time. Biden and Obama both ramped up deportations and poured more into the border than anyone before them. What did it get them… all republican voters still believe they had “open borders”.
Appealing to no one, you say? Can’t see how this strategy could fail yet again!
‘Pushing a bit’
What a way to phrase it.
With Republicans running the state house and senate, has two republican US senators and six of the seven house delegates are republicans this may be a stance you need to take to have a chance in South Carolina.
No one that cares about this is going to be convinced by this remark. It gains nothing. The only response that could possibly convince them is to reject the premise. Stay on message.
‘I don’t respond to immature internet bullies. No one cares about what they have to say. People are struggling and need Washington to listen to them for once instead of pushing made up culture wars. That’s why in this race. I’m running to ensure that Washington spends less time and money bombing children overseas and more time and money helping Americans here at home. Food prices are too high. Home prices are too high. Healthcare prices can’t even be defined until after a bill arrives. The American people are tired and want real change, not a continuation of what got us here’
so it would be cool if they said “i don’t support people assigned male at birth playing womens’ sports”?
what else should be considered apart from the language being used?
No idea what point you are trying to make but what would be cool is if a bunch of hatemongers didn’t get to invent new “problems” as an excuse to hate others. We shouldn’t be talking about this. People like sports but that doesn’t make them important enough for any politician to ever talk about. If I had it my way, if you’re mad about trans people playing sports then you’re too stupid to vote and would lose that right for displaying such idiocy.
I genuinely don’t see why anyone cares if trans women play sports. How many trans women athletes could there even be?
Trump’s most successful ad during the campaign was against trans and he won the election.
Democrats are only 30% of voters. Trump wants that other 70% to vote for him.
Sure, he could be pro universal healthcare instead (he’d get almost all of that 70% if he was), but he’d lose a lot of “donations”. Trans is an easy issue for him without any cost.
We already know you’re a transphobe and a conservative, so we can cut the shit where you pretend to have moderate views that you absolutely do not have.
