Annie Andrews obviously doesn’t, so who are we supposed to vote for then?

Oh just eff the Democratic Party. I’m not spending one more iota of energy doing anything for any of them. They can eff all the way off and then eff off some more.

How fucking pathetic is Annie, she couldn’t find a spine so instead she joined the clown show, she has now become a terf, I get it is SC still it doesn’t justify why you would pile on vulnerable communities, if she turns her back on trans who else would she not protect for political gain, shameful

Annie, being a transphobic pos won’t help you either.

Wow, seeing this garbage take from a doctor is especially disturbing.

Just be Republicans for fuck sake

No, for dismissing biological truth. She should know better and abide by her oath.

disgusting, back-footed, defensive bullshit a centrist-brained strategy that's guaranteed to lose

Pretty clear there's a lot of folks gaslighting for her in these comments that didn't watch the ad.

This is so sad

“A hit dog hollers”

Who do you think I am speaking for if not myself? The fuck?

What do you mean basic science 🤷‍♀️ she definitely can tell the difference between male and female

"The kids I personally have no problem with"

that‘s so fucked up

I'd rather not, actually.

Consistently huh?

Gets the nomination, throws trans voters under the bus immediately

That's concerning to hear about Annie Andrews' stance on trans youth. It seems like a shift from her previous views. Have you followed her campaign closely?

Bigotry is absolutely going to lose Dems more votes than it gains them

@drannieandrews.com this is disappointing.

Confusing??

bsky.app/profile/my-r...

Honestly, lol. We are all absolute idiots to have expected anything else.

Only biological republicans say biological men. bsky.app/profile/amel...

I remember the Blue Dog Democrats of 2006-2014. They were beyond useless. Don't vote for them.

For GRC, read Please Read GRS.

(also worth noting in this context that the people who were able to get top surgery, were able to do so because it was assessed that the alternative was almost certainly suicide. By banning it, people like Andrews are consigning the most vulnerable trans people to death)

Accepting responsibility seems like an alien concept to corpo Dems

I like this turn of phrase. Adding that to the list

the frustrating thing is how many people I have seen that are supposedly liberal that will blame trans people for this..

And related point: if she loses, Democrats and their advisors will never consider that the anti-trans ads might have damaged her. The lessons can only be learned in one direction.

I really don't get it either. I think democratic strategists may be some of the least aware people in this country.

I’m so tired of ts

Yet another piece of evidence of why we must abandon the democrats in favor of an independent working class party

Some Democrats shouldn't just lose, they should be condemned, ostracized, and removed from the party.

Lame ass shitty ass closer ass defeatist ass fucking dork

She endorses waiting for surgery until a kid is no longer a minor. That’s ethical care. Are you trolling for the Republicans now?

gasoline would be a much better campaign talking point

Beyond the obvious cruelty, this is such stupid policy. It is true that the public is generally against trans rights currently, especially in regards to children. But, more importantly, most people just...don't feel very strongly about it. When pushed in polls, a lot of people change their mind!

100% There are so many different sciences involved in the understanding of the human condition that it defies easy categorization

sucks to be the dems attacking trans women. those shits.

Dear Leader is NOT like the perfidious transphobe for He only betrays the evil Palestinians with His ineffable plan In His wisdom and benevolence He knew campaigning on that was smart but it was smarter to protect His apostle tisch and send $30 million dollars to the people who hate Him

Him. Just saying.

Dana Simpson will probably find a way to claim it, because otherwise she'll have to admit saying leftists are the same as evangelicals was silly.

Yea. They are ignorant, bigoted, or bad at lying. Possibly a combination meal of all 3.

Based on this thread? Yea... 🫤

Bigotry should be shown the door: bsky.app/profile/cv-d...

This...won't...convince...a....single...person...from...the...other...side....to...support...her. What it will however do, is that at least some people will stay home, because "why bother?"

This is a text a friend in Texas received. They literally gain nothing by turning their backs on trans people. They could take control of the narrative and reject the dishonest framing the right keeps pushing. They don't do it because they don't care.

AAArghhh

capitulate and try and fail for the millionth time to court fascist voters great plan dems

She sucks and ive been saying she sucks. Thanks for covering this Erin

Neo libs gonna neo lib. Shameful.

She’s running against Lindsey Graham’s sister, who is far worse. I don’t care.

I asked her: “What exactly do you mean when you say “biological men”? Are you referring to men in general or transgender? I don’t support biological men in women’s sports if they have not transitioned or are not in the process of transitioning to female. That would be like Tom Cruise in the WNBA.”

what a cowardly loser

Maybe that's why they're so mad at gender affirming care?

Unless she's banning top surgery for cis kids, too, this is just bigotry.

FELL * typo uuughhh

Depressing lack of any kind of moral compass and spine (I somehow decided to be extra polite just because of Trump hurling shit at her, so I went for "let's say it in formal words ...)

🤦‍♀️

Genuinely hope she loses. This is unacceptable behavior from our candidates. At this point I really don't see her as that different to a Republican.

All Real Women (tm) agree that anyone calling trans women “biological men” is a piece of shit.

Fuck her, and fuck any dem that bends the knee

Oh Dr. Andrews, I wanted to like you.

Hope she loses!

Dems are desperate to lose this election

This fucking party, man....

She’s just a republican trying to fetterman shit up

I was about to donate to her campaign... not gonna happen now. We don't need more bigots; we've already got plenty.

We need someone to find out the name(s) of the consultants or donors telling Dems this is the way to go. They should not feel like they can show their face in Dem circles.

I'm no fan of DINO politics, but behavior like this needs to get candidates kicked to the curb.

I hope this diet fascist loses, along with the Roblox ugh guy

So she’s campaigning for Darline now. Damn.

... of course they're called Third Way. Of course they are. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_W...

hope she loses, this is disgusting and no different than UK labour members

Grim. Really, really grim.

Annie Andrews is pulling an Labour's Andy Burnham now PM. The issue is all about *psychological positioning* and *perception*. Until politicians treat us and speak of us as any other women we will keep losing, and weak politicians will throw us under the bus for donor bribes and electoralism.

I saw an interview with her and she seemed so reasonable. Sad to know that's just an act. Sigh.

It’s so awful to see her using her status as a doctor to support this stance, too.

Even the median voter in a blue leaning state like VA likes the confederacy. Confederate monuments poll at like 65-35 in VA, a state Rs haven’t won a federal race in in 22 yrs.

We're taking districts that went for Trump by 20 points in 2020 now polling 55/45 in favor of Democrats. So what do Democrats do? "Actually, we're just like Trump in every way. 💕😄🙂🙂😉 A vote for us is a vote for everything the fascists stand for! 💕💕💖🥰🥰" So... we're not winning this. At all.

I'm not willing to sacrifice my friend's human rights for a unlikely chance to protect my own.

They're attacking trans people and they're attacking biology too. "biological men", my ass is biological, miss me with that medieval nonsense

It’s fucking South Carolina I don’t think you folks understand the ridiculous culture war in South Carolina against men in women sports real or not. The scare tactics of mutilating children is very real. She’s trying to win a race in the state of Fort Sumpter. Its politics.

@democrats.org always know how to lose.

"We will defeat fascism by becoming fascist. We're cultivating a big tent that only expands to the right. I am very smart and savvy."

Cool. So you're for Senator Darline? Stay the FUCK out of my State Politics. We're taking our steps FORWARD. YOU'RE pulling us backwards. Cut that shit out.

She's capitulating to bigots instead of defending her potential constituents.
