Tired of the dems doing this. They were 100% on board with it then once they saw it wasn't popular and lost an election here comes the flip flop. Sure its great politics but where is their foundational principles. They dont stay 10 toes down which leads folks to belive they only say what they think we wana hear then pivots. No difference when it comes to legalizing weed and repreations. All talk just to get votes...

The Republicans on the other hand has tried to take down SS, Medicare and Medicaid every election cycle while it being unpopular but is in the process now doing what they speak about. We know what the Republicans are about while the Dems just flips on us every chance they can get.

With all that said.....yes the Trans issue was a problem...

Dems need to stay far away from the Trans and immigration issue.
Both are lost issues which are guaranteed to lose elections.

Newsom literally walks through how his history on gay marriage made him ignore the trans issue until it was too late.

Agreed. The trans issue is a losing topic and honestly have no idea how we are throwing commen sense and straight up biology in the bushes.

Dems telling us Immigration isn't an issue for years is a big slap in the face for those living in boarder states.

Self inflicted...

Glade he figured that out but doesn't change the fact that all we had to do is point to science and biology on this topic. Dems stay pointing to science when it fits their narrative (rightfully so) but when it comes to Trans we throw all logic in the bushes..

Right. I feel that he knows this but even going forward you can’t even legitimize transgenderism at its core because theres functionally no such thing outside of adults engaging in elaborate cosplay.

Newsom saw ahead of the curve that “defund the police” was stupid too. He also is Pro-ICE but anti-military for ICE raids

He knows how to thread that needle and I’m glad he’s reeling back some of the bullshyt that costs key votes.

Plus, Cali is swinging red lowkey.

There were far more pressing socio economic issues to address before a sexuality one..

It was a terrible thing to try and take ownership of.

Democrats Lost Voters on Transgender Rights. Winning Them Back Won’t Be Easy.​

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/us/politics/democrats-transgender-rights.html

Although there is no evidence that transgender rights was a top issue for most voters in 2024, Democratic strategists believe that these attacks did have an impact. Blueprint, a post-election Democratic polling project, found that among swing voters who broke for Mr. Trump in the final weeks of the campaign, 67 percent believed Democrats were “too focused on identity politics.”

“We try so hard to represent everybody, we alienate everybody,” said Greg Schultz, the national campaign manager of former President Joseph R. Biden’s 2020 primary run.

The way Dems were shoveling that Trans and Gays shyt down everyone's throat definitely helped the Republicans. And alienated moderate leftwingers.

A lot of moderate are lost out here, not able to really align with any party.

i was willing to accept some things but the 'all or nothing' position of so many is responsible for this

the way i saw it was that if we are categorizing humans by gender, there is a tree with subcategories

woman \
- cis women (stays with birth gender, 'regular' women)
- trans women (you know who) &&
man \
- cis man (same as above)
- trans man (AFAB, now men with muscles and beards!)
non-binary \
- anything not above &&

this wouldve been fine, whatever. but no, people were trying to say trans women are exactly the same as cis women. they aint

like when they caught harry potter on camera trying to trick him into saying the wrong thing. dude looked right at the camera, summoned every ounce of acting talent, and told the world that trans and cis women are the same god damn thing

lets be honest, transmen arent out there doing this shyt. its transwomen, demanding their penises be declared 'feminine'

the coli may have forced me to learn what a 'cum kiss' is but it gets so much more demonic out there

do not google what a "gock" is
