well lets see you had at least 20mil that just didn’t bother voting, you had another nearly 10mil that voted for trump because they’re idiots who are easily convinced that some how trump would back Palestine and then you had an overal campaign that was more focused on turning red to blue as opposed to motivating it’s lazy and complacent base to simply turn up and vote…
but sure, lets blame the trans people.
By that logic, immigrants lost the election for the Democrats. But of course, that logic is chucklefuckery.
Our collective problem is that trans is seen as being punk AF. It should be as much punk as canned soup. I am sick and tired of this.
Are there seriously people who believe that transgender people made democrats lose the election?
Yeah. The Republicans ran a ton of anti-trans hysteria ads at all levels, including Trump. The Democrats didn’t significantly address the issue, so the belief is everyone just believed the nonsense from the anti-trans ads.
I am skeptical of this theory until there’s good data to back it up (not holding my breath). I doubt it convinced anyone who wasn’t already transphobic; it may have helped turning out transphobes.
Yes, the same establishment democrats that fucked up this campaign. They literally can’t admit that factors like economic policy or Gaza were huge causes, because their employers won’t allow them, so they have to find another scapegoat.
How can someone believe that without first believing that being transgender is extremely wrong and edgy, whatever that entails. That’s why you hear so much ignorant transphobic shit from Democrats like “catering to the far left” and “biological boys should not compete with girls at school”.
they took a page out of the Republican handbook.
when in doubt, blame trans people.
There have been Democrat “strategists” that say the campaign was “too woke” which includes trans people.
Though I can’t remember when Kamala actually talked about trans people in her rallies.
I haven’t seen this take anywhere. It’s all gaza talk and being establishment.
“If what you want is a centrist campaign that’s quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans — that candidate existed, and she just lost," Oliver said.
This needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
Jon Stewart said the same thing, Democrats and pundits were talking about being too far left this whole campaign. So he showed a bunch of the Democrat’s commercials from this campaign season, and none of them mentioned “woke, left” policies.
It was all about the border, or funding the police, or that they explicitly don’t support “forced sex changes.”
And Stewart responded, “… What woke, left, progressive policies?!? These all sound like Republican talking points!”
Hey come on now, let’s not get a silly thing like facts, logic or reason get in the way of lib bigotry. This is their golden ticket excuse to take a turn demonizing us.
Will we ever stop slamming?
Would you prefer that he fires back? Or perhaps that he goes off?
He needs to upgrade his Pog collection!
I had a handful of Pogs, man… old…
Gotta love it when the article is just giving you the subtitles from the episode with no actual journalism. At least AI would paraphrase in it’s own words…
Welcome to modern journalism 🙃
