Reform's poll numbers stagnated about six months ago and now they're starting to diarrhoea downwards. This is because Farage stops looking quite so fresh and enticing when he opens his mouth to reveal: a privately-educated Thatcherite with nothing new under the sun to offer.
Reform's polling is ~the lowest its been since last year's local elections

if your sales pitch is "the tories and labour ruined the country, here's our front bench made pretty much entirely of former tories who put in place all the policies you hate" that is quite a difficult sell
Just crossing my fingers that moving from “we’re an abstract funnel of anger and one-man force for change” to “we’re a proper political party, let’s hear from Suella Braverman and Richard Tice” harshes the buzz a bit

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution.

When I say that the Elon-worshipping far right looksmaxxing freaks are gay, I don’t mean that to be a dig, I mean it in the sense that they are behaving like a particular niche of gay man. Without the sex.

Uhhh I’m pretty sure the “slopulist left” have been correctly warning about nearly every horrible aspect of contemporary US society from AI surveillance, to Israel, to ICE, to the danger of bipartisanship, to corporate corruption, everything. All of it. Leftists are always right, just too early.

Transphobia is wrong. That’s why we needed to fight it.
It was also never going to stop with trans people.

They’re announcing that they plan to strip women and girls (the main beneficiaries of the Equality Act) of their rights and protections next.
We told you so.

Braverman is now lambasting equalities policies, saying Reform would scrap the equalities brief and repeal the Equality Act. Giving her this role - any role, in fact - does feel like quite a risk for Reform.

If the Dems pitch to queer people is "keep voting for us indefinitely in every election and maybe, eventually, you'll get back to where we were a decade ago", then get ready to lose a lot more elections, buddy.

Minorities in the U.K. are already afraid and suffering from Labour’s right wing policies. We will not vote to keep them in power just to protect you from the same pain.

No, centrists, we will not vote against our own humanity. We will not accept fascism-lite so you can get "back to normal". We're not sacrificing human beings on the altar of your comfortable complacency anymore.

If Newsom is the nominee, it will be a signal to trans people (and several other groups) that the party just doesn’t care about them.
At that point they need to make it clear that any support of the Democrats is conditioned on Newsom and the campaign accommodating them.

Can you explain, what is the strategy? Clearly your the first task is to fight for your candidate in the primary. But if you're stuck with a flawed candidate, what's the game plan for securing trans rights? Because these arguments seem to stop with "I'm mad" and not, how do I get the outcome I want.
