I'm not saying that the 2028 nominee's main slogan has to be "trans liberation now." (it shouldn't be) But they do need to be able to message "We do not throw marginalized communities under the bus. America must be a country where we look out for those who can't look out for themselves." +

They do need to be able to say that the attacks on trans people are a sickening and unamerican attack on a tiny community of citizens who are just trying to live their lives. They need to include a trans speaker at the 2028 DNC (as was done in 2012, 16, and 20, but not in 24). +

Kamala was right, "when we fight, we win", but then she didn't fight. (and yes, i voted for her, knocked on doors for her, wrote hundreds of get out the vote letters for her). Bottom line: having one's rights put up for debate is a deeply dehumanizing thing to experience, and dems shouldn't do it.
