This will almost certainly rule out Democrats. The last election is the first time I voted Republican and I don't feel even a little bit bad about it.

It must get exhausting being in Trans panic year after year, quaking over those dozen teen athletes in California. If that’s your big issue just vote Republican be done with it.

I already did for the first time last election and I will again. If you're dishonest and disturbed enough to claim that a man in a dress is "vulnerable" and should be elevated over women, then there's nothing else you have to say that I want to hear.

I think there are a lot of Democrats who feel like you. The issue is that these are two issues where Democrats are perceived as liars (they refuse to acknowledge what voters see is the truth), and that is devastating in a presidential campaign. I don’t know how this will resolve.

Oh, I know for a fact there are a lot who feel like me. In fact, I'm in a swing state and I know it is a big reason why Democrats lost the state. I'm fine with Democrats pretending otherwise and continuing to lose. I went from having to turn away volunteers for Biden's ground operations here in 2020 for fear of violating our Covid rules to not being able to get anyone to pick up my phone call without transgender ideology coming up within the first 5 minutes. The level of hostility that Biden and then Harris's people higher up in operations showed whenever I pointed out that our own volunteers are bothered by this trans madness was so unhinged that I ended up quitting without a farewell email. I wasn't going to keep tolerating getting chewed out because I can't gaslight the faithful into believing that "Rachel" Levine - father of 3 and graduate of Harvard college when it was all male - is a "woman."

Until Democrats return whichever nutjob donor's money they took to stand on such a crazy issue, there's nothing more to see here. Polls will continue to accurately show that the public hates Trump, Democrats will continue to be able to win here and there during midterms, AND they will continue to lose in fashion on the national level. You're not achieving any kind of national unity when the "rights" of "Lia" Thomas are what you stand for. A multicultural coalition of people will join together to tell you and your transvestites to f--k off...as they should.

I don’t think trans is going to have much impact on the next presidential race. People really hate Trump and their lives are worse now between economic instability, ICE raids on neighbors, and just the general exhaustion and corruption that comes with Trump.

That having been said, I do think it’s a bigger issue than Democrats want to think because it goes to credibility. There are two major issues where Democrats are perceived as liars, and those are immigration and trans issues. In a tight race, credibility matters. I’m just not sure the next presidential race will be tight because Trump is so disliked.

+1

With Trump as the sitting POTUS with a 35% job approval rating in 2028, "trans" will have as much impact on the election as it had in 2020.

The Democrats are dishonest on undocumented immigration, H1B immigration, transvestites, the economy, Israel, climate change (pressuring average people instead of standing to the corporations that pollute more in a year than I could in 10 lifetimes of eating meat and driving a minivan). You name it. It's also clear that Democratic politicians don't believe in any of this bullshit. Look how quickly so many of them came out against trans "rights" once their attempts to insult and emotionally blackmail the public failed. Look how Democrats are confessing that everything the public thought on immigration was actually correct and they knew it all along while claiming everyone who called them out was a white supremacist or MAGA with three teeth.

You can't win nationally by being the biggest liars and taking the dumbest and most insane positions on issues that shouldn't even be on the agenda.

The bolded is absolutely wrong. Of course you can win nationally by being a big liar. Trump won, remember?

You are right about not taking insane positions, though. Trump won because the Democrats picked a terrible candidate who came across as an extremist: remember the wildly insane prisoner sex change discussion?

But Trump is so disliked right now that I don’t see that circumstance repeating, and hopefully the Democrats are smart enough to pick a candidate that doesn’t fall into the lunatic fringe like Harris.

That having been said, you are correct to add Israel to the list of issues. So, the list of issues that have impact where Democrats are seen as big fat liars are trans issues, immigration, and Israel. Climate change doesn’t register because few voters care about it, and both parties lie about the economy.

The fact that Trump couldn't win the 2024 election in a landslide with 500 electoral votes against the last minute replacement nominee for a very unpopular incumbent tells us all we need to know about Trump's weakness and awfulness as a major party nominee. If an Obama or Reagan caliber of POTUS candidate had been the Dem opposition in 2024, they'd easily secure 500 electoral votes.

Yes, but an Obama or Reagan caliber candidate would not have gotten the nomination because of how dependent the party is on the far-left for political organizing. It’s not something that ever would have happened.

This is the party that insisted across the board that Biden was perfectly fine. It did not have the ability to spot and promote a candidate of presidential caliber. I don’t think it does today. I think Democrats will run and win on anti-Trumpism, but the candidate will be a widely disliked president.

Yes the entire right wing noise machine will make sure the president is disliked and the mainstream media will run articles about how the president is disliked by people who get all their news from Fox.

Do you even remember the complaints about Obama’s “terrorist fist bump”?

Trans stuff is the same— it’s just a wedge to distract people.

I think there are a lot of Democrats who feel like you. The issue is that these are two issues where Democrats are perceived as liars (they refuse to acknowledge what voters see is the truth), and that is devastating in a presidential campaign. I don’t know how this will resolve.

Oh, I know for a fact there are a lot who feel like me. In fact, I'm in a swing state and I know it is a big reason why Democrats lost the state. I'm fine with Democrats pretending otherwise and continuing to lose. I went from having to turn away volunteers for Biden's ground operations here in 2020 for fear of violating our Covid rules to not being able to get anyone to pick up my phone call without transgender ideology coming up within the first 5 minutes. The level of hostility that Biden and then Harris's people higher up in operations showed whenever I pointed out that our own volunteers are bothered by this trans madness was so unhinged that I ended up quitting without a farewell email. I wasn't going to keep tolerating getting chewed out because I can't gaslight the faithful into believing that "Rachel" Levine - father of 3 and graduate of Harvard college when it was all male - is a "woman."

Until Democrats return whichever nutjob donor's money they took to stand on such a crazy issue, there's nothing more to see here. Polls will continue to accurately show that the public hates Trump, Democrats will continue to be able to win here and there during midterms, AND they will continue to lose in fashion on the national level. You're not achieving any kind of national unity when the "rights" of "Lia" Thomas are what you stand for. A multicultural coalition of people will join together to tell you and your transvestites to f--k off...as they should.

I don’t think trans is going to have much impact on the next presidential race. People really hate Trump and their lives are worse now between economic instability, ICE raids on neighbors, and just the general exhaustion and corruption that comes with Trump.

That having been said, I do think it’s a bigger issue than Democrats want to think because it goes to credibility. There are two major issues where Democrats are perceived as liars, and those are immigration and trans issues. In a tight race, credibility matters. I’m just not sure the next presidential race will be tight because Trump is so disliked.

The Democrats are dishonest on undocumented immigration, H1B immigration, transvestites, the economy, Israel, climate change (pressuring average people instead of standing to the corporations that pollute more in a year than I could in 10 lifetimes of eating meat and driving a minivan). You name it. It's also clear that Democratic politicians don't believe in any of this bullshit. Look how quickly so many of them came out against trans "rights" once their attempts to insult and emotionally blackmail the public failed. Look how Democrats are confessing that everything the public thought on immigration was actually correct and they knew it all along while claiming everyone who called them out was a white supremacist or MAGA with three teeth.

You can't win nationally by being the biggest liars and taking the dumbest and most insane positions on issues that shouldn't even be on the agenda.

The bolded is absolutely wrong. Of course you can win nationally by being a big liar. Trump won, remember?

You are right about not taking insane positions, though. Trump won because the Democrats picked a terrible candidate who came across as an extremist: remember the wildly insane prisoner sex change discussion?

But Trump is so disliked right now that I don’t see that circumstance repeating, and hopefully the Democrats are smart enough to pick a candidate that doesn’t fall into the lunatic fringe like Harris.

That having been said, you are correct to add Israel to the list of issues. So, the list of issues that have impact where Democrats are seen as big fat liars are trans issues, immigration, and Israel. Climate change doesn’t register because few voters care about it, and both parties lie about the economy.

The fact that Trump couldn't win the 2024 election in a landslide with 500 electoral votes against the last minute replacement nominee for a very unpopular incumbent tells us all we need to know about Trump's weakness and awfulness as a major party nominee. If an Obama or Reagan caliber of POTUS candidate had been the Dem opposition in 2024, they'd easily secure 500 electoral votes.

Yes, but an Obama or Reagan caliber candidate would not have gotten the nomination because of how dependent the party is on the far-left for political organizing. It’s not something that ever would have happened.

This is the party that insisted across the board that Biden was perfectly fine. It did not have the ability to spot and promote a candidate of presidential caliber. I don’t think it does today. I think Democrats will run and win on anti-Trumpism, but the candidate will be a widely disliked president.

Yes the entire right wing noise machine will make sure the president is disliked and the mainstream media will run articles about how the president is disliked by people who get all their news from Fox.

Do you even remember the complaints about Obama’s “terrorist fist bump”?

Trans stuff is the same— it’s just a wedge to distract people.

God, you are so out of touch. The Democrats don’t even need Republicans to sink them, Democrats like you do it for them. The Fox News bit just shows how out of touch you are.

As for trans, it’s not a wedge issue, though I know that is what you desperately want to believe. It’s unfortunately an issue of credibility for the Democrats, and voters simply don’t believe them. There have just been so many lies from the party on the issue. When you have middle school girls staging school walkout protests in blue states to protect their safety and they get attacked and screamed at on camera by adult Democratic activists, it doesn’t matter what the underlying issue is: you’ve lost on that issue.

Now, I don’t think trans is going to play as much of a part in the next election as it did in 2024, but that’s because Trump is so incredibly unpopular, not because Democrats are trusted on the issue. It isn’t going away as an issue.

Believe me, I would love to be able to agree that trans is an irrelevant wedge issue. But it isn’t and it isn’t going away. And just putting your head in the sand and chanting “But Fox News! But Fox News!” over and over doesn’t change reality.

DP. If the trans issue was still enough to win elections then Winsome-Sears and Miyares would not have gotten blown out of the water in VA. Miyares especially considering he was Trump endorsed AND was running against a very weak, scandal plagued dem. It’s not enough no matter how much you keep saying it is. For one, a bad economy impacts everyone. The trans issue primarily is something that, to the extent it actually bothers people, is something that parents with girls care about most passionately. Like if you are childless or if you have boys or your children are adults? How does it effect your day to day life?

Midterms have a very different voter pool than the presidential election: the outcome in VA was not a surprise (though welcome). Unpopular president combined with motivated opposition base is a common midterm outcome.

And I agree that the bad economy is the number one issue, people always vote their pocketbook. All I am saying is that trans as an issue isn’t going away for Democrats, because it goes to credibility. I think Democrats will win the next presidential race because Trump is so unpopular and the economy is shaky, but that doesn’t mean people actually like and trust Democrats.

As for who it impacts, trans is like immigration in that Democrats are demanding that voters accept lies. Voters don’t like that. They don’t like being told by politicians that what they know is true isn’t happening. The Democrats are demanding their voters deny their own reality and that has a corrosive impact on trust in the party. Does it show up as the key issue in every election? No. But does it harm the future of the party? Yes. You can only lie to your voters so often. Even Trump is learning that lesson with his voters, who are abandoning him.

It will resolve in 2028 the same way it resolved in 2020 and 2024. Extremely unpopular sitting POTUS leads to easy victory for the opposing party.

Yep. Back and forth until … I dunno. The outlook looks bad. Maybe AI will run was an independent and everyone will pick that over the human alternatives.
