https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/ohio-dem-party-has-banned-criticism>Earlier this week, Ohio's Democratic nominee for governor, Amy Acton, made headlines as one of her party's most prominent political candidates to stake out an anti-trans stance, calling transgender girls "boys" and declaring that she would enforce Ohio's sports ban, which she cast as a matter of "fairness" and "kids' health and safety." The rebuke from her own party was severe. The Ohio Democrats Progressive Caucus, an official advisory group of the state party, issued a blistering page-long statement declaring that its members were now less willing to doorknock for her—before the post puzzlingly vanished shortly thereafter, prompting days of questions about why criticism of Acton's anti-trans stance had been scrubbed. Now, after prodding by Erin In The Morning, the caucus has revealed the answer: the Ohio Democratic Party itself demanded the criticism be removed, effectively barring those within the party from publicly critiquing a major candidate's transphobia.>The intra-party firestorm began shortly after the Supreme Court's ruling in West Virginia v. B.P.J., in which the Court held that Title IX does not protect transgender athletes and that the law's protections extend only to "biological sex"—breaking with years of lower court precedent. Asked for her reaction by the Toledo Blade, Acton stunned voters in her own party by calling transgender girls boys and vowing to enforce Ohio's ban, endorsing its premise outright: "I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law," Acton said. "As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids' health and safety."
Goy, you aren't voicing a wrongthink are you? Reminder to vote blue no matter who.
>>44254006>We don’t necessarily agree with this policy and we are still negotiating how we can best comply with the party’s regulations while continuing to advocate for our membersFucking cucks.
dems will compromise on every viewpoint except the one that would actually get them votes
>>44254006>right passes laws to put us in camps>little bitch baby dems: “well, if that’s the law then we should follow it to avoid the optics of being ‘woke’, that way we can finally capture the blackshirt voters!”After the civil war, establishment dems get the rope, right alongside the fascists
>>44254226No, you need to stop this shit. Crying that the Dems won't overthrow the government while you sit your tranny ass at home doing nothing is bitch behavior
>>44254510>good goy stop complaining>vote blue harder
>>44254546>I can't save myself because.... I just can't, okay?!?!? >the middle aged politician needs to go kill people for me or they're useless and I'm going to write another commondreams article about them You are pathetic
>>44254510>"We should follow the law!">"But you can just change the law...">"We will follow the law!"
>>44254596Why are you on the gay board if you defend politicians throwing gays under the bus?
>>44254226>I will follow the law lolThis is why I didn't vote for harris btw
>>44254650Trannies* and they had it coming.I find it amusing how so many of you completely lack self awareness and are bewildered by this.
>>44254801Cope, bitchboy.
>>44254006remember to voot next election
>>44254596>kill people for me??? Ideally nobody has to die, but let’s be real, rightoids brains have been so thoroughly melted that they will never willingly consent to any regime left of Goebbels. And the republican establishment has announced that they have no intent of releasing power willingly either. The refusal of a democratic state can and should be met with arms. Maybe I’m too founding-father brained for a retard like you
>>44254510>doing nothing to stop the rise of Trump despite having the chance with Biden>somehow dems will overthrow the government
>>44254983>rightoids brains have been so thoroughly melted that they will never willingly consent to any regime left of GoebbelsThe hicks yearn for techno fuedalism
>>44254983Yeah yeah and President Trump is literally Hitler. Histrionic retard. This is why normal people hate you.
>>44255109>This is why normal people hate you.Nta but decades of propaganda that brainwashed you into wanting to pay for healthcare had no role in this
>>44255109Normies off my board.
>>44255109ok vance
>>44255121>wanting to pay for healthcareThere is no such thing as "free" healthcare, dumbass.
>>44254006It's up to the people at this point, as shitty as it sounds. If Americans don't want to live in a transphobic country then the transphobic politicians need to lose their jobs. Simple as. If they can't even do that, then we have our answer.
>>44256368>(wokely) trans people stop oppressing yourself stop oppressing yourself
>>44257023LEARN HOW TO FUCKING READ YOU STUPID WHORE
>>44258521No.
>>44254006skibidi ohio rizz
LOL RED TEAM WINS AGAIN...grim
>>44254006>NOOO THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO SUPPORT US, THE MASSIVE OPTICS NUKES WHO ARE 0.1% OF THE POPULATION!Troons have been nothing but a millstone around the neck of the Democratic party. You are as much of a burden on them as you are on the people in your personal life.
>>44259565do you have the meat in your head to understand that we've already been through this with fags and other varieties of queerlike sixty years of this stuff has already transpired and trannies are literally in the same position that gays were, before most people decided gays were okay.it's not my fault that we are scapegoated. but you do not care to understand this
>>44259593fags are a question of morality (is a man fucking a man ok?)troons are a question of reality (is a man a woman if he says he is?)It's not the same. No one has ever actually believed that you are a woman. I mean, look in the fucking mirror. You don't even believe it yourself.
>>44259604womp womp
Columbus nona here. I experience almost daily political and religious rants from customers. The day before yesterday I commented to one customer that we get so much traffic from concert goers (Incarceration, Sonic Temple, etc) that it's a bit overwhelming. His response was to spontaneously begin ranting that those coming to the concerts are communists who know nothing about money, that they want to ruin the economy, that communists are anti-god, and god is the solution to the problem. I had to plead him to let me handle the line behind him. The same thing happened the next day when a seventh day adventist aggressively ranted that all businesses are going to shut down by force on a sunday and all people will be forced to attend church, and it's a Satanic plot which will bring the end times. Handed me a book called the Sunday Law or some shit.Ohio fucking scares me sometimes. How do we have the biggest LGBT community in the rust belt? Surely the scizo takes from Christians aren't EVEN WORSE in other rust belt states...right?
>>44254510Just vote for sherrod brown and not the bitch. What's the issue? They're already trying to turn her campaign into some weird groyper bullshit anyway, how bad can an indian guy be
>>44259593He's a republican, the only meat in his head is the dick he's sucking on the down low
You should have listened on the women’s sports issue
>>44260136The whole fucking political structure in this country is a giant con. When the democrats lose they always, 100% of the time use it as an excuse to throw minorities under the bus under the guise of pragmatism. When the republicans lose they never blame their voters, they focus on long term strategy and capturing the electorate. Acton was guaranteed to cruise to an easy win with the repubs in the absolute shitter and she still takes the opportunity to shit on someone. All of these people in power want us to die
>>44260614Ultimately, that is politics.If a political party has to throw a nought of a percentile of its coalition under the bus to win, they will do it - as they should.
>>44259641upstate NY is the only rust belt tranny haven i'm aware of
>>44260672Is NY really in the rust belt?? I haven't heard of this but...I'm a west coaster...
>>44260725suracuze is the northeast tip of the rust belt. we haven't had an economy since crucible steel went bankrupt in the 80s. but i'm pretty sure ny is the only state that includes gender identity as a protected class
>>44254006I've heard it claimed that they think the republicans are going to take the governor's office anyway and they might as well let this be a demonstration that the democrats aren't going to win by becoming more republicans, maybe that's just a cope though >>44260725Upstate NY vs NYC is like Visalia vs Noe Valley, completely different places just the same state technically. Upstate "rust belt" isn't as grim as Pennsylvania Rust Belt or Ohio Rust Belt but it's not great either, you have to keep in mind Upstate Rust Belt has ivy league college towns and small pockets of prosperity like the Corning Glass company that is in a little town in upstate but has patents on phone display glass products, so that keeps it from being a total shit hole, but there's still a lot of completely failed former factory towns with MAGA signs everywhere for the people who didn't make it out and blame minorities and homosexuals for all their problems
>>44260751Hmm, interesting stuff!>>44260795Iiiinteresting. Well I guess that makes sense. Also yeah democrats need to step the fuck up and stand for something VERY soon.
>She is Jewish.[54]
>>44260642>If a political party has to throw a nought of a percentile of its coalition under the bus to win, they will do ityou missed the point, the problem is that they don't have to. it is just an excuse to purge elements that they personally dislike from the party. and then when those elements don't vote dem they excoriate them for daring to not fall in line. it is all an exploitation of the broken two party fptp system.and ultimately they are actually only making their chances worse by pissing off a significant chunk of their base (progressive empathetic whites) in order to appeal to people that were never gonna vote dem in the first place
>>44260136Women's sports was always a wedge and bathrooms were always next. Part and parcel of the movement even.It's necessary to their goals to paint trans women as dangerous predators who due to their male nature overpower women. Sports exposes a massive vulnerability because intuitively the physical domination part is obviously true. Even if it's not in actuality (and current studies are just not convincing IMO) you're working from behind to prove that, because our faith in our own intuition is usually much stronger than our faith in science. Science additionally biased by a hyper-polarized political environment. Do you genuinely trust any study of trans people that's come out in the last decade or so?But conceding would not have stopped the progression. The ultimate goal is to convince people of a deeper intuitive truth: that men cannot be women. To paint transitioners as inherently delusional, and to paint transition itself as the medical abuse of the mentally ill.>>44259604We do not have to accept pure self-ID to recognize some transitions. There will always be Josh Seiters and Steven Crowders out there.
>>44254006 I wish we could be boys. I only transitioned because I don't want to be one of the tough boys
