Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.

Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.

Horrific.

    Nope. Still not answering how electing this guy empowers the DSA. How odd. This bot must be broken.

      Ok, I’ll answer and see if you can answer too.

      The more seats the Democrats hold across Congress, the better off the entire country will be. There are still 2 more years of a Trump presidency, and if you think this is bad, just watch what would happen if the Republicans hold on to the majority in Congress.

      DSA candidates, at various levels of elected positions nationwide, have shown great surges in popularity. Simply put, more Democrats in Congress, the more options open up to oppose the GOP regressive agenda.

      Now it’s your turn to answer. Who are you advocating for in this race?

        If he was a DSA candidate or even a progressive that would be true. More conservative democrats who work with their Republican friends means the opposite. You are conflating two diametrically opposed things. If anything his losing would directly empower the DSA because they would hold a greater share of seats. He’s being elected literally weakens, dilutes, the DSA.

        Nobody. Been very clear on that. Though it had nothing to do with this comment chain.
