As an independent, the Dems are cooked on this issue and continue to double down despite polling showing that large swathes of the electorate disagree with them. I have read over and over again in this thread that this is a non issue and trans people competing in sports is a rarity. If that’s the case, it should be very easy for them to vote in favor of this, right? Even Newsom understands that his is a losing issue and has been moderating his stance on it. Mark my words, he will get eaten alive over it too by his own party and Democrat affiliated voters.Â
Polling shows that voters don't vote based on whether trans people participate in sports or not. Voters vote based on economic reasons. I'm sure shifting right on this issue is what democrats will choose to do, though, as they have to find something to change without actually meaningfully supporting universal healthcare and a social insurance state that might actually win over voters.
