“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

      This you?

      The cynic in me is telling me that taking time to speak about such a small demographic, all of whom already have a clear reason to side with him, won’t gain a single extra vote.

      Then yes I was. It isn’t just about that demographic.

          Insulting me won’t change the fact that it’s not just the issue of one demographic.

          I’m sorry you don’t care for the fact that trans people have millions of allies. It’s still true.

        Me, a Democrat supporter, in this discussion on Lemmy of all places

        You think I need to be reminded that protecting minority demographics including trans is a popular stance? You think I didn’t know that information? You think that information detracts from the point that it’s not a stance capable of attracting swing voters this late in the election cycle?

        You’ve clearly built an opponent in your mind and its all you can see when you look at me. I shut his ass down immediately rather than engage in that conversation.
