Why are the Democrats today such a confused bunch of animals?

So far no one on this thread has brought up anything having to do with the actual issues...
The issue being how screwed up in the head the Democrats are?
That's a given, isn't it?
Go after her platform rather than cheap insults.
This thread is about trannies running for office trend, not the platform of said trannies
Still a nonresponse, man. I would hope you're better than that. Go after her platform rather than cheap insults.

If the he/she can't even figure out which gender he/she should be, I don't want him/her anywhere near making or signing laws that affect other people
hat type of decision making takes- for lack of a better phrase- real balls. I mean, even with the knowledge that she'd face constant personal attacks and insults, horrible language about her, and she still went ahead with being trans, and now she's running for fucking public office, opening herself up to even more of that hate? Jesus, I wouldn't have the stomach for it, personally. I don't know how someone like that can plow through all the garbage thrown their way.

Maybe you should have quoted a different article then
It's not my thread. I didnt post or quote anything. Do you know how to use the internet?
Oh my word, what a field of candidates, personally if I had a gun to my head (which is the ONLY way that I'd cast a ballot for any of these loons), I'd vote for the 14 year old who was sharp enough to find the hole in the laws/requirements. As for this he/she - my oh my so ugly even it's mother couldn't love it.

So she's appealing to Vermonters with a progressive message that includes a $15/hr livable wage, Medicare for all, free public college education and high-speed broadband access — even to those who live on remote back roads.

Think He/She can deliver on that? How about the rest of His/Her platform:
I think it's a virtue signal OR its affirmative action wherein the dems somehow think trannies are a special group now.
expanded college educationmean? If colleges would jettison sports, diversity, affirmative action, PR, community relation and other assorted offices, education would be free or nearly free now. I suspect though that in the mind of person running for office "free" college education is simply state giving MOAR money to schools so that they can build a bigger football stadium or hire more Associate Vice Provosts for Diversity.
runs to virtue signal
Hallquist had a lot of experience and some good ideas.
Christine Hallquist is appealing to Vermonters with a progressive message that includes a livable wage, Medicare for all and free public college education.
A former energy company executive from Vermont has a shot at becoming the nation's first transgender governor — but she says that's not the main reason she's running.
Christine Hallquist says that in the run-up to Tuesday's primary, people are finally beginning to pay attention to the race, but her status as a transgender woman isn't what's on their minds. Rather, she says, voters want to know what she can do to help them get higher-paying jobs, provide health care for their families and better educate their children.
So she's appealing to Vermonters with a progressive message that includes a livable wage, Medicare for all, free public college education and high-speed broadband access — even to those who live on remote back roads.
"That's how I want to be known in Vermont," Hallquist, 62, told The Associated Press in an interview at her Burlington offices. "Nationally, I want to be known as the first trans candidate."
t's working. The Victory Fund, a political action committee that backs LGBTQ candidates across the country, calls Hallquist a "game changer."
"Because she is open and authentic about the fact that she is transgender, that immediately takes away all the questions, all the whispers, and instead allows people to focus on her personality and what she wants to do," said Elliot Imse, communications director for the Victory Fund. "People are liking what they're hearing and that's what's really cool about Christine."
Roughly 200 LGBTQ candidates are expected to be on the November ballot across the country for state and federal office, the most ever, according to the Victory Fund. They include Alexandra Chandler, Massachusetts' first openly transgender candidate for Congress, and Kim Coco Iwamoto, who would be Hawaii's first transgender lieutenant governor if elected. Like Hallquist, both are Democrats.
In Vermont, home to independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and the first state to recognize same-sex unions with its landmark 2000 civil unions law — a precursor to gay marriage — Hallquist's gender identity has not been an issue.
She's facing three other Democrats in Tuesday's primary: Environmental activist James Ehlers; dance festival organizer Brenda Siegel; and Ethan Sonneborn, a 14-year-old boy taking advantage of a quirk in state law that doesn't require gubernatorial candidates to be of voting age.
