    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.

      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”.

      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.

      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.

    “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.

      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.

    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…
