This got removed from politics because “Video links are not allowed” apparently? Pretty weird considering that most politicians say stuff on video nowadays and not really writing articles anymore since the invention of the radio pretty much lol. Hope it’s a better fit here, this is the kind of stuff people should be aware of.

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.
You do understand that one vote means it’s a binary choice. That’s why we have two parties. Like, voting third party is like not voting at all.
We need a different way of voting that will reflect better its constituents.
You just have the attention span of a goldfish. It’s not a binary choice because this isn’t just about one election. It’s not my fault you have long term memory loss.
You do understand that voting for the person you want is a vote for the person you want and not a nonvote, right?
Additionally, where is the line? The Democrat wants to do the trans genocide just as much as the Republican candidate. Your vote is also a message to both mainstream parties. Voting for the Democrat will signal to the dnc that being anti-trans will break the losing streak. Voting for the Republican will do the same, because the dnc are always chasing the non-existent “centrist Republicans”.
