Many, myself included, have argued against voting for the worst offenders on this list even where it means a Republican takes the seat. A Republican victory costs the community one seat for one term. A worst-offender victory teaches the party’s consultant class, the Searchlights and Third Ways, that throwing transgender people under the bus is a winning strategy, and that lesson would be applied everywhere until the Democratic Party goes the way of Labour. One seat can be won back. A party cannot.
I hear that but my sense of emergency is such that I just can't see voting for any Republican at any level, anywhere. Or withholding my vote against a Republican and thereby enabling the Republican to hypothetically get the one vote they needed. I mean, what is the lesson in that? Some of these Dems are bad in one or two areas but Republicans are actual terrorists who want people to die. I feel an obligation to obstruct them. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/the-guide-to-anti-trans-democrats

@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange I agree. A Democrat who is bad in one area is still better than a Republican who is bad in all areas. I'm in Indiana, and will be voting for Beau Bayh for Secretary of State. He's the one who will run an honest election in 2028. #uspol #indiana
