Trans journalist Erin Reed has published a list of Democratic midterm candidates with anti-trans records, and the question she is forcing is one the party would rather not answer: if trans voters keep rewarding Democrats who harm them, what signal does that send? The calculation is real, the stakes are high, and there is no clean answer.
It was an almost 50% increase in turnout from 2016. In an average open primary the strategic crossover is said to be 3% to 20%. That’s hardly insignificant numbers, nor a fantastical concept, and nothing was typical in 2020.
The Democratic party actively suppresses voter turnout . They use the same tactics the Republicans use in the general election, which often overlap. They’ll limit polling locations or forgo primaries completely when THEY determine THEIR candidate is “unopposed”.
And don’t get me started in all the ratfucking going on in caucuses or mid-contest rule changes.
It’s a corrupt corporate controlled party that’s leading the nation towards destruction alongside the Republican party, and nothing either of says will change that.
America is neither an open or free democracy, if it ever was one.
