It will definitely lose them progressive votes. And it probably won't gain them many conservative votes. But the Democrats are still going to try anyway. They look at who voted and chase those people's votes. edit: typo

Most of the country wants a new party, but our FPTP system mathematically guarantees they will never get it.

lol

Yeah, Democrats look at losing millions of voters and assume it was because they were woke. Can't wait for Democrats to start campaigning on taking my hormones away to win over conservatives!

We're fucked 🙃

The issue now is that the Democrats might not have to. They can refuse to help give them back and instead advance things one step forward by funding more research, when it's a well understood concept. Or maybe give queer people a federal holiday.

Yes. But we can get more fucked. =(
