This got removed from politics because “Video links are not allowed” apparently? Pretty weird considering that most politicians say stuff on video nowadays and not really writing articles anymore since the invention of the radio pretty much lol. Hope it’s a better fit here, this is the kind of stuff people should be aware of.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Okay… vote anyway.
You can do both things.
I honestly don’t care at this point. As long as people vote against the fascist. Everything else can be sorted out later.
I agree that when it comes time to vote 90% fascist is better than 100% fascist, but that doesn’t mean being 90% fascist gets a free pass to “sort it out later” just because they’re sightly better than 100% fascist.
Pushing back on their bullshit now gives them a chance to demonstrate their ability to listen to their constituents and apologize for it, which also gives them a chance to regain the votes they are losing from people who won’t tolerate it.
Cool. So you’re willing to let people suffer so you can teach politicians a lesson? Hint: they don’t care.
THAT’S WHY WE NEED TO VOTE THEM OUT.
Not what I said at all.
