Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Do you have a link for this? I don't remember her saying anything of the short.
I'm betting even if you did hear the interview you and liberals would dismiss it as 'that's not what she said'
She says they need to follow the law, which includes the 500 anti trans laws passed by Republicans

Yes, she looks very bad there. She tries to evade the question several times over, and refuses to say anything positive about trans rights at all, even when the interviewer gives her several chances to do so. I still believe the Republicans would be worse, since they are the party that has been hurrying to introduce as many very trans-hostile laws as possible around the country. Democrats will fail to defend rights; Republicans will make sure rights are taken away, while inciting hatred and actively persecuting trans people. So as with many things, the Democrats may be bad on this, but Republicans are significantly worse.
I understand people not wanting to give the Democrats the sense that they have a mandate they don't have, but right now it's also necessary to keep Trump out. It sucks, but real progress will not come through the ballot box alone and must be fought for alongside electoral politics.
That's the democrat ratchet effect in action
