In the continuing race to see who can throwĀ transgenderĀ people under the bus most quickly,Ā South CarolinaĀ DemocraticĀ candidate for U.S. Senate Annie Andrews has released a new direct-to-camera campaign ad in which she states that she does not support trans athletes playing in sports that affirm their gender identity.
I donāt disagree with any of this, for the record, and why I didnāt push back on democrats being the long death. But none of it changes my opinion that the Republican winning is worse. And I donāt really see how any of what youāve said refutes that.
The Democrats sliding to the right is bad. I agree.
A currently and actively further right party than that winning is worse than that. Iām honestly baffled that this is contentious. Especially after the last two years of total Republican control.
I donāt disagree in general, though Iām certain I feel this way about more Democratic candidates than you would.
The difference for me is that this candidate in question running on these specific stances accelerates the rotting of the Democratic Party so much that she has become the worse candidate. Not because her opponent is better in any way shape or form, but because the effect of Annie winning does harm to party positioning much more quickly than your standard corpo-Democrat.
