Well, the Democratic party’s anti-trans heel turn that many people have long expected may finally be upon us. After years of trying to bully trans constituents and their allies on the left into accepting more anti-trans candidates—particularly in red and purple states—many major candidates broke to the right last week, coming out against a variety of trans freedoms.

    My primary goal is to avoid unchecked fascism, such that any additional progress is possible.

    It sounds like our goals differ.

      Democrats have been running on that slogan since 2018, but no one seems to actually be stepping up to combat the rise of unchecked fascism. If that’s your goal, you are failing. Just voting is not working, and blaming people because they didn’t vote how you wanted isn’t going to help either. So what else have you got?

        I don’t even know how to respond to a comment so removed from reality.

        What was the size of the non-voting cohort of 2026?
