I don't know what to think.

What do you think?

Quoted tweet: Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024 #IowaSenate NBC News: Josh Turek (D) opposes transgender athletes in women’s sports “As someone that spent a lot of my life in high-level sports, I don’t believe that biological males should compete against females in sports.” Response tweet: Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil I think this is bad framing that adopts the opposition frame: “biological males in female sports.” Contrast to Talarico, who says “it needs to be safe and fair”—which both grounds the concession in liberal values (safety & fairness) and leaves the door open to future inclusion if we can marshal evidence proving trans-inclusive competition is safe & fair (which it is, imo, but we need to prove and persuade people of if we want to get back to winning on this issue) Talarico’s frame is both better as politics (never reinforce the opposition’s framing! Speak to your *own* values even when making compromises/concessions), and better on policy (leaves the door open in the future if we can succeed in persuading people inclusion is fair & safe) Obviously both concessions are disappointing to trans people, but we have to acknowledge political reality—we are losing on this issue everywhere, even among Dem voters in blue states, but it is a disastrously unpopular stance in places like IA and TX. The question, then, is how to make these concessions as specifically as possible without reinforcing a generally anti-trans frame. Talarico is, imo, succeeding in walking that tightrope, while Turek is not.

Worth reading for what the voters say. (With a population of 25 thousand, what sense does it make to send patients 25 or 50 miles away to SMALLER communities?)

Iowa went for Trump by 13. It is now a toss-up. Josh Turek won his Iowa House seat by 6 votes in 2022, then held it by 5 points. Joni Ernst is retiring, and the RealClearPolitics average has Republican Ashley Hinson up under 1 point. This seat could decide the Senate. #IowaSenate
