I love talking politics so in real life I speak with non democrat voters, they say when they think of the party they think that democrats care more about sexual shyt(trans-rights) more than anything else, they’re also disturbed by gender affirming care for minor.
You have to keep in mind, if people were as rational as we are, Trump wouldn’t be president. So yes they do care about transgenders more than a rational person would.
The question is should we bend to their will or suffer losses until they bend ours?
Well on the bolded I have stated the ground that the Democrats should cede; on the transgender athlete issue, state the position of common sense, but leave it to the states to legislate. State opposition to any basic form of discrimination or harassment or violence against trans people based on their identity. But also, ALSO, prove that this is low on the priority list for Democrats compared to other shyt. Hammer on the economy.
