Democrats want new leaders for their party, which many feel isn’t focusing enough on economic issues and is over-emphasizing issues like transgender rights and electric vehicles, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
I know this isn’t the point of the article, but it’s distressing that the average Democrat voter also believes that minimal defense of trans rights from existential threats is over-emphasis.
I think it’s more that we have problems affecting large amounts of the population and people are probably tired of trans being 1% of the population but taking up more than 1% of the discourse. And largely only to the end result of being used as wedge to hurt trans people.
The sad reality is, it would be better for trans rights for the left to win, and the left isn’t going to win by ignoring tactics and strategy in a game that the right is metagaming into oblivion with voter suppression and gerrymandering.

Trans rights isn’t a winning political strategy.
I say this as a trans person. Americans don’t care about 1.3% of the population, they care about themselves.
People want economic progress, that’s why they elected a strongman conman.
