@headintheoffice: STOP CAPITULATING IN TRANS ISSUES! After big wins for Democrats, one thing has become clear. You do not need to be anti-trans to win swing races. Abdul El-Sayed never once backed down from defending trans folks, and he won nonetheless. #lgbtq #democrats #election #leftist

Giovanni Rodriguez :

For Abdul I love that his attitude was essentially “Nah, ask me a SERIOUS question please” and recentered the focus on affordability EVERY TIME. Like you don’t even have to respond to this crap and he basically proved it!!

im so tired of being thrown under the bus 💔

GI robot :

This podcast is so underrated

madamelaguillotine :

Michigan also elected our 1st openly trans woman for state rep in the 2nd District!

Finaglemethis :

Turek did almost days before in Iowa still won. It wasn’t necessary,

JustAnotherGuy :

We're in such a "Don't Ask Don't Tell" moment for trans rights. As a cis, queer man I'm so, so, so sick of my trans siblings being sacrificed on the alter of progress for less-marginalized causes.

alex487043 :

Turek underperformed the Iowa governor candidate who did NOT capitulate

Hayden :

The ol’ Joe Biden “at least three” and move right along 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

lunawrites 🇵🇸🇨🇩 :

That last part 👏

Paul :

that was my biggest disappointment with Rob Sand in Iowa

athenaknows :

I really appreciate you saying this

sunshades :

I voted for turek but I was like, ugh... and I filled in his bubble last cause at least hes not Ashley hinson.

Chris Wells :

IN ABALABAMA DAWG

DFBurgermeister :

My point of view is that whichever gender (or non-gender) someone wants to identify as is none of my business. It is also none of my business if they seek gender-affirming care. It has zero impact on my life.

jnashty :

not that this is my view, but I'm intrigued by the fact that there are no candidates are in favor of trans women in women's sports, but only after they've been on her for some amount of time. Every politician I know is either strictly against, or in favor, even in cases where there is no medical transition.

bananapuddingenthusiast :

dawnleah2008 :

FriendlyPacifist :

based

eww :

"you still need to vote for joe biden"

Dysphoric Sanguinity :

The worst part is when trans people are expected to vote for candidates that will strip their rights away, especially in many cases where there isn't a pro-trans candidate. The liberals will eat you alive if you're a leftist with moral objections to a Democrat.

Sarcasmicfiend :

Democrats in New Mexico protected trans rights and have still held onto their supermajority. I actually met our new Governor, Deb Haaland, at a trans day of visibility event years more than 15 years ago. Im so proud of our state [Pink heart]

puap :

In what world is abandoning people a recipe for success? Like just genuinely curious why people think that’s smart? Just say, “this isn’t a real issue - the real issue is how much they’re fucking us over and they’re trying to distract you with this.”

Jamesathon :

I don’t know who you guys are but it’s refreshing to hear this on my fyp. Agree with you 💯
