The trans issue killed the Dems--especially boys playing girls sports, and proper pronoun shaming. I'm a life long Democrat and unbashed liberal who's not afraid to use the term, like most Democrats are. But the trans issue offended me and most of America. How are we helping trans people by losing elections? Otherwise, forget the Republican lite bullshit. Don't apologize for advocating the policies that will actually improve our lives. Don't let the enemy define you and your policies, Democrats. Go to the people and leave the focus groups and pollsters in D.C,.
It's bigger than Trans. Running around spray painting All Cops are Bastards right before a 3 year Covid inspired crime and un civility spree breaks out didn't help either. In times of fear or economic pinch Americans become instinctively "right wing". The same thing with Civil Rights. A good economy goes a long way to opening opportunities for reversing discrimination whether it was the 50's60's...for minorities or the 90's for Gay and Lesbian. I feel conflicted about Trans people but if you live in the real world you kind of know the difference. It was a huge ask to "center" and issue that effects 1% of the population. I don't want to throw anybody under the bus but boys in competitive sports and kind of radical non reversible medical procedures for people under 18 years old was just to much. On Trans we need to focus on no bullying and civil rights for Adults.
