Democrats blaming Harris’ loss on trans people need to take a better look In the days following the election, some Democratic lawmakers and talking heads were blaming Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss on transgender people — or, more specifically, on Democrats being too nice to transgender people. “The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left,” Rep.
Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from New York who won reelection, told The New York Times. “I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports.” Another Democrat, Rep.
Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, told NYT, “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face.
I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” You know, saying, “I don’t want to discriminate against anyone, but…” just smacks of true sincerity, especially when you follow it up by targeting an extremely small and specific group of marginalized people.
