Throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus less than your opponent while still accepting their framing of the vulnerable minority to try to convince some hallucinated demographic in the center to vote for you is a losing strategy, it is like the irrational decree of a mad king. It does not win elections.

It is electorally stupid to throw trans people under the bus. That said, harming fewer people SHOCKINGLY harms fewer people. Vote blue.

Dems are more likely to fund literacy programs too. Which, funnily enough, raises empathy which generally benefits trans people as well

You know I read the same article you did, right? I just concluded that the author was wrong because every time the USA tries anything other than voting blue in the last 70 years, it consistently leads to worse outcomes for everyone, especially the LGBT. Its not illiterate to read something and come to a different conclusion. The author is wrong, and ive states some of the reasons why too. Why not engage with the reasons instead of just skipping to calling me illiterate?

Then read the papers I cited you, and come up with a different idea in what I am addressing specifically.

I also agreed that its a shit strategy that politicians should avoid. That doesnt mean you, the voter, should let the greater evil win because the lesser evil was dumb and shitty. The greater evil is even dumber and shittier and needs to be stopped.
