More than half of the people listed in this article are solely on it for trans sports issues (15 out of 27).
It’s an article who’s sole purpose is discouraging Democrats from voting in the midterm.
The author is likely not even a real person.
The right to play women’s highschool sports isn’t the one we’re fighting for right now. Yes, it’s a long road to acceptance, yes we have to pick our battles.
No, opening that can of worms on a low rent conservative talk radio show is not worth jeopardizing a Democratic politicians’ overall viability with the general voting public.
Beyond that, the sports issue does have nuance, and for the 95% people in Iowa who’ve never had a conversation with a person they knew was trans, and the 68-80% of the state who can’t read at a highschool level… Yes nuance in the subject doesn’t really exist.
Their center-left party realized that every time they take away another right from the trans community, they get more support from conservatives and only lose support with trans people that they want to exclude anyway. Transphobic Democrats will steer the party into doing the same thing here if they can.
So your argument here is that these Democrats are attempting to steer the party into a transphobic agenda, so maybe a few party members attempting exert a small amount of pressure on the direction of party.
And your solution is for democrats to abstain from voting and… What… Allow Republicans complete control? I’m sure that will work well for you.
Or maybe these politicians aren’t transphobic at all and are simply attempting to walk a tightrope in an imperfect system so that they can take power away from a much worse party.
It’s interesting you quote that without showing the previous sentence
Oh please… Just because the author framed the statement with some weasel words doesn’t make the intent any less clear. “I’m not telling you what to do, but…”
Rob Sand, Democratic nominee for governor. Actively opposes transgender participation in sports, answering “no” when a conservative radio host asked whether “biological males” should play women’s sports.
When you pile weak examples like this into your list, it’s clear that you’re just trying to discredit any Democrat and discourage voting.
This article does argue for abstaining, it’s literally the entire point of writing this article just before midterms:
Many, myself included, have argued against voting for the worst offenders on this list even where it means a Republican takes the seat. A Republican victory costs the community one seat for one term.
And it’s such a fucking idiotic take.
It’s an article calling out politicians for their answers on “gotcha questions” like ‘do you want biological males playing women’s sports’
Okay, so which of the Dems named here are Republicans running as Democrats? I just want to look up the rest of their policies.
Trump is deeply unpopular with people attending a Republican Convention? That’s news to me.
Which one of these people are the same as their republican opposition if you’re Trans? Be specific.
Republicans will legitimately support making their medical treatment illegal at the federal level. If they win again, will probably support imprisoning or executing trans people, they are subhuman to the republican party.
While their Democrat counterpart might stop them from playing highschool sports.
Which ones?
Most of these states will never elect a progressive Dem (as proven by the primaries over and over again). Someone left of center is far better than a Republican.
I’m sure the Republican opponents in these states will be much better for Trans rights.
In fact, if we just allow another Republican majority in the legislative branch, they’ll probably just fix the whole thing.
I think to most people, “Cartridge” or “bullet” would imply the overall round, not the projectile or caliper.
22lr is the same caliper as 5.56.
No… I said that a 30.06 cartridge can be loaded to multiple pressures and fire different weight projectiles. All effecting total muzzle energy, but without some really funky loads, it’s not deviating enough from the norm to cause the effect OP described in their conspiracy theory.
How do you possibly take the whole of my explanation and think that I’m trying to say the say the bullet type doesn’t matter?
No, not really. The type of gun doesn’t make a difference aside from the length of the barrel, but that’s pretty negligible for anything remotely normal (i.e. not a ~4-10inch barrel in this case).
Same thing with the cartridge/bullet, total energy varies bullet to bullet, but again, in a negligible way.
The real explanation is that the damage people expect from this cartridge is caused by hydrostatic shock: the shockwave caused by the bullet entering and slowing down significantly (transferring energy). Hitting somewhere soft and without much muscle mass, the side of the neck, let the bullet pass through without transferring a ton of energy.
He won’t need a pardon (from DeSantis, not Trump), because he’ll never be charged.
He resigned from his position, so now he’ll just get deputized by another hick Sheriff.
So you’re saying that you don’t want to miss out on any money that can be made from exploiting children?
Zuck may be at the top, but all of Meta violated the law, I assume as an investor you support this “cost of doing business” slap on the wrist because… Profits over everything, amirite?
Zuck and Meta Investors.
The fact that school pension systems, among others, are passively supporting this by refusing to divest is probably a bigger slap in society’s face than a single creep like Zuck abusing children for profit.
They also canceled the Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) project because it used a hybrid powertrain.
The Army decided that a BEV with ICE generator fit the needs of the program best: quiet, high torque, and precision control.
Effectiveness is too woke for Trump’s military
And the consequences for those involved?
At the very least there should be an investigation as to how this data was developed, so that we can avoid making this ‘mistake’ in the future. Right?..
Because your race doesn’t exclude you from being a scumbag.
