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.

    Unless, you know. The blue person is a Nazis.

    Why is it centrist dems only adhere to “blue no matter who” when it’s other centrists dipshits who want to shit on our rights?

    The right to be trans or cis or nonbinary, the right to be masculine or feminine or whatever mix you want to be is a fundamental right. And its absolutely justified to ask for representation that recognizes that.

    In fact… not demanding that kind of recognition is the kind of thing Nazis go for.

      I mean… she’s probably still a better option than the conservacunt opponent. But I agree that there have to be better candidates and she should be immediately replaced.

      The other person on the ballot is Lindsay Graham’s sister though. Also during the dem primaries there were two other candidates who were pro universal healthcare and the dem voters picked this bitch by a landslide. It’s South Carolina don’t expect much from blue voters there.

      the time to be picky is the primaries or the local caucus, not the general where you’re usually looking at two viable (has a shot to win) candidates; and not voting for ‘your side’ regardless of the ‘player’ is essentially giving a vote to the ‘other side’, because they mostly do vote in goose-step unison.
