as far as electoral politics is concerned, being a rapist (or another kind of sex pest) is not actually a liability, for anyone in any party. being able to violate consent has simply always been a perk offered to the powerful
people keep being like "why don't they point out that trump is a rapist" and i think it's probably because biden is also probably a rapist

Add another to the rapidly growing list I'm told is "just a couple of outliers."
Yesterday, Josh Turek released one of the worst anti-transgender ads to come from a Democrat this election cycle. It called for a federal funding ban on gender affirming care, which would impact countless trans Americans. Here is our article on the ad you have all undoubtedly seen by now.

@joshturek4iowa.bsky.social retract the ad. it's not too late to win back some fucking votes. you're a coward for approving this ad, but it's not too late. i want iowa to stop destroying my life as a trans Iowan -- and that isn't going to end with you winning the rep seat, UNLESS you apologize.
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.
that is the reality for many other trans Iowans. would you take a diabetic's coverage away from them? force them to survive without insulin? Medicare and Medicaid coverage for HRT is necessary for so many people, and you're pandering to a group of voters who are already deadset on voting republican.
apologize and retract the ad. learn from your mistakes, or doom the most vulnerable of us. i'm not voting for a Democrat that sells out to fascists. @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social

People who think embracing GOP hatred of trans people is the only way for Democrats to win in that part of the country should remember that in 2025, John Ewing became the first Black mayor of Omaha NE by running this ad. He beat Republican incumbent Jean Stothert by 12 points.

josh turek sucks, there is no reason whatsoever to be doing this other than a truly unacceptable level of personal bigotry

genuinely evil behavior from vivek ramaswamy, and most of the state will still vote for him. how do you even handle a country filled with so many morally and spiritually bankrupt individuals
NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy says Amy Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed” while defending his ad featuring her estranged mother. “In politics sometimes it's a tough sport.”
