[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rights of gun owners supersede that of children (who can’t even vote). Nobody seems to have a problem with that, which is a much bigger problem than trans taking away your child’s deserved first place medal (which probably didn’t even happen to you). [/quote]

💯

It is shocking to me how many parents are so flip about this. Terrified of trans and certain books in schools. But guns? 🤷‍♀️[/quote]

Yeah well when parents can see tiktoks of teachers saying wild things like they're transitioning children in the classrooms without informing parents, and then CA leans hard into it, people are going to nope themselves away from voting D.  [/quote]

You take it up with the teacher, the principal, the school board, etc. You know what most rationale people would do.

You do not burn the entire country down. Beyond comprehension.[/quote]

Look, the fact that this is an electoral issue at all suggests that voters feel they are not being heard at the local level. If voters felt that school boards, teachers, principals, etc were actually listening, this would not have been the resonant issue it was in November 2024.

This thread is full of Democratic partisans who seem to still believe, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, that they can stomp their feet and demand voters only care about the issues that these partisans deem acceptable for voters to care about. That is frankly delusional. You need to embrace reality if you want to ever win at the national level again. Meet the voters where they are. [/quote]

We could have this conversation if Trump won by an overwhelming majority, he didn’t. [/quote]

It does not matter whether he won by three votes or 30 million votes. The point is that trans rights and gender ideology is and was an electoral issue, whether you like it or not. The closeness alone makes it an electoral issue.

Please face reality. As someone who thinks it is important for the future of this country to get MAGA out of power, I am begging you and all other Democratic partisans to face reality on this issue. [/quote]

I am not a Democratic strategist. So no need to beg me to do anything differently.

But:

Democratic policies are aligned with where most voters are in this country:

-healthcare
[b]-common sense gun legislation[/b] 
-addressing climate change
-women’s reproductive rights
-protecting voting rights

[/quote]

I’m a pro choice union teacher who believes in climate change and supports LGBTQIA+ rights - BUT - I vote Republican most of the time because Democrats are obsessed with banning guns.

Get rid of this obsession with banning guns and I’d vote straight ticket Dem.

[/quote]

There is no credence to a gun ban in this country. Assault weapons, yes. As there should be.[/quote]

And that persistent desire for an ineffective assault weapons ban is going to lose you a lot of elections[/quote]
