This is the liberal position in Iowa and what it takes to get elected there. Once elected, he will be allowed to pander to his transphobic constituents by toeing the Democratic party line and claiming he didn't want to support trans rights but he had to when they were packaged together with things that his bigots actually wanted.

    Do you actually believe the shit you're saying or are you intentionally trying to manipulate people? No, what will happen is the same that happened with Keir Starmer in the UK. As soon as he gets to power he will ramp up the hatred more and more to distract from his incompetence and falling popularity.

    The real solution is: If the liberal position is indistinguishable from the fascist one, then maybe this disgusting ideology should be exterminated

    Obama was against gay marriage on the campaign trail. By the time he left office, it was legal.

    First, the proper equivalent would be if Obama advocated to ban AIDS meds. This piece of shit wants to take away rights that trans people already had for decades, if you didn't get that.

    Second, it wasn't Obama who did that, it was the Supreme Court that did that, and if I remember correctly, it was Obama who handed it over to Trump to abuse as much as he wants now. Liberals straight-up paved the way for fascism just like the soc-dems did in the Weimar republic.

    Third, Obama not giving a single shit about queer people and refusing to install any protections for them made it possible for republicans to immediately go after trans people after Obergefell v. Hodges. You liberals let Trump shit on trans people for over 11 years now without any resistance, and now that this whole moral panic has grown to absurd dimensions, you're pressuring us to just accept our fate as subhuman garbage.

    Your weakness and selfishness is killing us

    The supreme court did it so no Dem ever had to show morals or leadership. The Dems "suddenly seeing the light" and mainstream Dems suddenly being pro gay rights wasn't after the polling said it was "viable" but being anti-gay rights would lose them votes even again Republicans because they would alienate their own base.

    Libs handwring about Stalins purges and all the related deaths, but I read something like this and I'm reminded that sometimes there's only one way to deal with filth.

    They have a very abstract concept of themselves suffering personally, but to be a republican? the thought even for a moment is devastating

    If you want to make a harm reduction argument, in a thread where a Democratic candidate is throwing trans people under the bus, is not the best place to make it.

    "At least with the Democrats, the cattle car we're going to stuff you in on the way to the concentration camp will have adequate ventilation, and will have been built with Union labor" does not inspire people to vote for your preferred candidate. Being told that the jackboot being pressed on your throat was made with vegan leather is small comfort for the person struggling to breathe.

    So you're telling on yourself that you don't actually care about what happens to trans people then? You're just here to libsplain to the uppity transes that they should support candidates openly spouting transphobia, thereby helping to further normalize transphobia in US politics. Apparently that's the future they deserve as well. 🤡

    Why are you here.

    Nobody here likes you, you are derided by everyone for making quite apparent your lack of intelligence and human decency, but you come regardless.

    You speak as an apparatus of the DNC moreso than a decent human being, despite none of your own party liking those soulless vessels either.

    Are you here because none of your own like you either?

    if bro is elected with anti-trans line, and he wins because the republiklans are wildly unpopular, the consulting class take away will be "genocide trans people".

    what's more likely is that this guy would become the next spoiler, always ruining good things because, gosh darn it, we just couldn't whip the votes.

    what it takes to get elected there

    or you could actually run for good policies that actually matter. trans people aren't your landlords, or your boss that forces you to do overtime. demonrats would never do this though.

    Liberals like you have never even had the thought that it should not in fact be a requirement to support fascism to get elected somewhere in the first place. You are happily embracing fascist policies rather than questioning your civic religion.

    How many months until the Democratic party line is to arrest trans people as undesirables to appease the conservative's feelings that are evidently more important than trans lives to them?

    Absolutely unreal levels of self-delusion to think that you can be considered any less culpable for the violence that the conservatives are inflicting because you do the wrong thing for the "right reason".
