    “A big part of the electorate” doesn’t care one way or the other about trans rights. All throughout centrist apologists have been saying “most people don’t care about Palestine enough to affect their vote”, they just want kitchen table progress. But somehow when the issue is trans rights, you people think it’s some vote-defining issue that will sink the election if there’s a single trans speaker in a weeklong convention.

    Just the same old fucking white moderates doing the white moderate things King talked about.

      I 100% believe that it’s the same thing with Palestine and you’ll notice that no more support for Gaza was announced either. Why? Because it’s not worth alienating Jewish voters when you can use their votes to win the election and then adapt the government’s stance on the question.

      Trans rights are never brought up during the various electoral campaigns, yet Democrats actually do something to help when they’re elected at the different levels of government so maybe you should get the message that is not an issue that’s popular enough to increase the popular vote and that the votes gained from mentioning it will be less than the votes lost.

        As I said, the same old white moderates doing white moderation.
