This is a clear example of what is wrong with The Democrats.

This is a clear example of what is wrong with The Democrats. Because they are playing this like a “game” they don’t even court the idea that principles and humanity might factor in to responding like this.
You don’t even fucking consider this response if you actually care about trans people, about queer people, about actual progress. You make no statement that can be construed as denying a gender identity because that’s exactly what you’re being pushed to do

It’s an absolutely bonehead response. And I realize that every politician is and must be a product of their electorate – and who knows what this guy’s electorate is like — but dammit, you find find a better way. You just do.In the meantime, Democrats in Minnesota were selling a trans flag Minnesota shirt front and center at the State Fair. It’s not like it’s impossible for a major party to publicly stick up for queer people. Can be done, folks!
