AreĀ transgenderĀ people no longer an effective scapegoat for the GOP? OneĀ TexasĀ Republican leader says attacks on gender identity are falling flat in Lone Star State elections.
Former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan toldĀ Texas MonthlyĀ thatĀ RepublicansĀ focused too much on culture war issues this election cycle and are paying the price. āWeāre just not paying attention to the issues that matter,ā he said.
Meanwhile centrist Democrats were certain Kamala Harris lost because she wasnāt anti-trans enough and the future of the party was piling onto bathroom and sports bans.
They were?

Not gonna read all of them, but I see it saying āsomeā. Also, what Iāve read from the first one seems like itās the 80/20 thing again.
Yes, some. Thatās why I said ācentrist Democratsā, not just āDemocratsā.
Yes. Some Democrats are just as much our enemy as Republicans. Not everyone running under the D label is actually a Democrat.
At some point, maybe youāll recognize the party itself is the problem, and the good democrats are bound to serve the party by backtracking on their positions and dragging their supporters right with them.
The democrat party is a capitalist neo-liberal fascist party, theyāre just not open about it and like to cosplay as opposition.
