the thing about “democrats should take popular cultural positions” is that what constitutes popular is a function of an interaction between the public and elites. if a faction of elites start screaming about a vulnerable minority and another faction says they have a point, this shapes the public.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."
"You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

I'm gonna be real.
Non voters handed the election to Trump.
Not voting is a choice.
Actions have consequences.
If you're unwling to accept the consequences, don't take the action.
This is to all the people who yelled at me for voting to protect trans people.
