Seth Moulton opposes transgender women in women's sports. Okay, that's his opinion. Moulton tells Democrats to focus on issues that voters care about. |
We doing this again.
Stop getting mad at the latest noise from these folks. It didn't do us any good to get riled up over remarks from lawmakers. Just stop.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) must be defeated at the ballot box. Quit trying to force members out because of some opinion.
This is why the Democrats are losing.
We latch on to things that have no damn change in strategy.
As I explained in post election, Democrats are their own worst enemy. We already have enough of this with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA). With independents Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema gone, we will have folks like Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Sen-elect Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) joining Fetterman in being moderate or saying shit that may affect the chances of retaking the senate.
In 2026, Democrats will have to defend seats in states Trump won and face opposition from progressives who still feel that support for Israel will do us in.
Fuck the noise.
Moulton believes transgender women should not play in women's sports.
Okay, I don't agree with him but I am not going to waste my time driving him to the Republican House conference. The Democrats are calling for him to resign.
Keep this up and he will join the Republican conference.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) and Tulsi Gabbard are examples of this.
Moulton supports abortion right, same-sex marriage, and opposed Protecting Women and Girls in Sports act 2023. He supports legal immigration and advocates for immigration reform, but opposes illegal immigration and has called it "something we have to confront". In 2022 and 2023, Moulton cosponsored the Transgender Bill of Rights and voted in favor of the Equality Act.
Following Vice President Kamala Harris' loss in the presidential election, he expressed opposition to transgender participation in girls' sports, saying that he does not want his daughters "getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete." Following his remarks, his campaign manager resigned in protest, his comments were condemned by Salem mayor Dominick Pangallo and he faced protest from constituents. In an MSNBC interview, he refused to apologize and claimed the backlash "[proved] his point".
"I meant what I said as a dad, and I mean that we ought to be able to have a discussion in the Democratic Party about contentious issues. Now, this is just one example. We have a lot of problems with many issues," he said. "We can't connect to American voters about the economy. Why is it that they trust someone who's going to raise American prices at a time when we're suffering from inflation? We can't acknowledge that we have a problem at the border. And many of the same people criticizing me today are this, are the same folks who said, 'Ignore the border; it's not an issue.' Who said inflation is transient? I mean, I don't even know what that means. Who attacked me when I said President Biden should step down? When actually, that's what the voters were saying. So, what I said is consistent with the views of the majority of Americans, but it's shut out of the Democratic Party debate. And I think that's a problem for the party."
"Congressman Moulton is not the only Massachusetts Democrat seeking to have difficult conversations in the wake of the election," said Steve Kerrigan, chair of the Massachusetts Democratic Party. "This process is critical for the future of not just our party, but our country. But my hope is that we do it in a thoughtful manner that doesn't target or demonize anyone. Congressman Moulton and I have always had a positive, straightforward relationship, and I know that will continue, but, as I’ve said, his comments don’t reflect the values of our party, which stands firmly with transgender people and the entire LGBTQ+ community."
"If you care about the rights of LGBTQ people, trans people or any other minority, I wouldn't put your faith in the Republicans," Moulton also said. "I would put your faith in Democrats, which means that we need to figure out how to appeal to the majority of Americans so that we can start winning elections again."
Moulton is coming to terms with a second Trump term.
President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will take reign on Jan. 20, 2025. They will enact Agenda 47 or Project 2025.
Y'all voted for this.
Enough of the shock and awe. Let's stop destroying our own. Let these idiots speak their minds. It's the voters decision to keep them or get rid of them.
Besides, if they're so obsessed with being in other people's business in the restroom, the locker room, the bedroom or the local hotel, that will reflect on the laws they pass and the results of voter outrage.
Let the Republican Party overplay their hand. They always do.
Their incompetence will result in someone's life being affected and it will result in rejection of them.
