Transgender New Hampshire state Rep. Alice Wade (D) today accused Democratic Socialist U.S. House candidate Heath Howard of pressuring her to drop out of her race because he believed her trans identity would spoil her chances. He initially denied all wrongdoing, but later admitted to making comments about her gender.

    Was he openly declaring intent to go murder her in the street after invasive inspections in the bathrooms like MAGA does?

    No?

    Shut the fuck up.

      Ah, excuse me, no.

      I push for “vote blue no matter who” in the general election because at that point the choice is fascist or not-fascist.

      But before that point is EXACTLY when we should NOT be shutting up, thank you. This is unacceptable.

      Now, if there’s an election between Rep Howard and a fascist, vote for the non-fascist. But if there’s a primary and a better option presents, then vote for the better option.

      And certainly not shut the fuck up about transphobia.
