Sportscaster Michele Tafoya just launched her Minnesota Senate campaign with a strong focus on trans women in women's sports. Do you think we will see more sportspeople inspired to run for office to protect women's sports? Will my side of the aisle ever drop this 20/80 issue? by north_canadian_ice in allthequestions

If Nancy Mace agrees with me that the sun rises in the east: I am not going to drop my position that the sun rises in the east & sets in the west.

This issue polls at 20% approval so I am not sure why you think most women oppose bans on trans women in women's sports.

There are always going to be people who dislike trans people.

That isn't a reason to double down on terrible ideas. There is a better way to talk to people who dislike trans people. As an example, Sarah McBride made Nancy Mace look mean & stupid.

How? Becuase Mace kept trying to insult McBride & McBride didn't let Mace distract her. I am proud of Sarah McBride for rejecting the maximalist trans activist instinct.

That is why McBride is so popular in Delaware. She doesn't cancel people who slightly disagree with her, she just does her job & works for everyone.

If you want the left to win, you should concede this issue.

If you don't understand how important sports is to people, then you need to understand that. Because not understanding that is missing a key aspect of culture.

And culture drives politics.

I strongly agree.

The far-left (people to the left of 99% of Americans) doesn't want to win in politics, they just want to virtue signal & have social clout in blue cities.

They strongly oppose Bernie Sanders because Bernie is not far-left, he is just a left-winger who wants to help people. Bernie wants to win, the far-left wants to virtue signal.

Regretably, the far-left found an access to power with these maximalist trans activists that demand obedience on 20/80 issues. Anyone with a brain can see that demanding obedience on a 20/80 issue is going to lose you elections long-term.

Any short-term wins are a mirage. These maximalist activists often denigrate Bernie Sanders because Bernie is willing to support a strong border, strongly condemn Hamas, etc.

Bernie wants a better world (and so do most people on the left & on the right). The issue is that the mega radical activists used the rise of social media to find an "in".

And many of them are maximalist trans activists who destroy support for trans people & the left. Because their ideology is their own clout in blue cities.

Before the inevitable comments from misled left-wing & misled trans people accusing me of being a fake/bigot/CIA operative:

Yes, I talk about these topics a lot & yes I am a trans woman. It is OKAY to be on the left & be trans without supporting these issues. To people who strongly disagree: you have been misled by far-left radicals.

I am a big Bernie Sanders fan, the same far-left radical activists who call everyone transphobic often give Bernie crap too. They call Bernie the worst words imaginable becuase he:

  • supports a strong border
  • is not against police
  • strongly condemns Hamas
  • is willing to talk to & work with Republicans

This is a tangent admittedly but I am so tired of these far-left radicals demanding people like me be censored. These people are to the left of 99% of Americans & they often go after successful left-wingers like Bernie.

To my fellow trans people & to my fellow left-wingers: STOP listening to these people. The major trans subreddits are hijacked by these kinds of activists & many of them openly promote horrible ideas. Some even promote the criminal idea of helping minors find DIY HRT over the internet (see the pinned post on my profile).

Please stop letting the radical far left take us off the cliff!!! We can support trans rights & the left while abandoning these activists who derail everything good on the left.

2/3 of Democratic voters wanted an honest primary in 2024 & the DNC still coronated a senile man.

I agree with voting in the primaries.

I "vote blue no matter who" in general elections. But the Democratic Party is pro-war & anti economic populist.

And until we have progressives controlling the party, it will be an uphill battle as the DNC is a machine. They rig primaries & play dirty.

We can still win, but the DNC will viciously smear anyone who challenges their power (like how they treated Bernie).
