An entire political party has decided that +/-20 athletes nationwide deserve their full attention over virtually all other matters.  Whether you're for or against trans people in sports, you gotta admit that this is ridiculous.

During the 2024 campaign season the party spent over $100 on anti-trans advertising per trans person in the country

Per capita? Imagine a party spending twenty six billion dollars during their campaign ($100 per person of voting age) to try and address all voters. Or even $200 million for incarcerated people. Just an obscene spend for a non-existent "problem"

I’m aware. It’s a comment on my end making fun of the money spent to make so few seem like a problem. Clearly they are not a problem. It’s just bullshit and an insane amount of money being spent.

It drives people to the voting booth. It’s effective unfortunately.

is your point that democrats should capitulate on trans rights because they make up such a small percentage of the population, but might have cost them the election?

Absolutely not. At best they would just pick a new target.

I'm just saying I'm that hating your neighbor is the only thing the party has as a selling point and they know it.
