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.

They’ll still expect your votes, though.

One of their campaign ads is look how much I vote with Republicans

“In the Senate, Josh will work with anyone to clean up corruption and secure the border, including President Trump,” the narrator says in the ad. “And he’s got 700 votes to prove it.”

No, and I'm sure it's also a no for hair treatments or viagra (ie some of the most common treatments men get that are covered by insurance)

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

at this point all the democrats have to do is shut the fuck up and play the crazy ass bullshit Republicans are saying behind closed doors.

that's it.

what the actual fuck...

As is tradition; Iowa, a shithole and a backwater.

They should just have to sit out a few election cycles.

Mmmm lemmy world is a blocked instance for me. Better instances than temu reddit.

The lemmy world politics mods and general staff who let those mods run rampant in their biased behavior are extraordinarily problematic and it is awful for the fediverse that they have such a manipulative control over it.

BUT MY MODERATES

[–] RedWizard@news.abolish.capital 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Won't somebody think of the moderates!?

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why do Democrats refuse to learn how elections are won? That getting out your base is the best way to win an election? That suppressing your base in an effort to steal their base is a stupid strategy? Cuz you're not going to get them and you're going to get yours to stay home. It's just simply moronic.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago

They don't want to win if it moves the country leftwards
