In the continuing race to see who can throw transgender people under the bus most quickly, South Carolina Democratic 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.
Supporting trans people is a winning issue for Democrats but it’s not for conservative Republicans.
This election specifically Democrats are hopeful they’d get votes from a large portion of traditionally Republican voters so they are pushing a bit on Trans to please Republicans but not too much that they lose their Democrat voters
That’s not just this election. That’s been every election in my memory. They cling to this strategy, even though it keeps failing.
Surely this time they’ll want a watered down version of the thing they keep going harder on!
It never works, buuuuut maybe this time will be the exception. -Dems
Clinton rode third way into office and the party hasn’t been able to move on since then.
Appealing to no one, you say? Can’t see how this strategy could fail yet again!
But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. It’s what they do on all of the “controversial issues” since the dawn of time. Biden and Obama both ramped up deportations and poured more into the border than anyone before them. What did it get them… all republican voters still believe they had “open borders”.
‘Pushing a bit’
What a way to phrase it.
