I'm surprised she didn't say Palestine and instead said Trans right (not that the latter isn't important but that would be a good criticism against Harris/Waltz campaign since I don't think Trans right is something Harris/Wall are against).

Either way, she's not required to endorse anyone publicly.

if she truly cares about trans rights, she would endorse kamala and not be bragging about how she gets along her with trumper family.
trump is literally running a fearful and hateful campaign against trans people right now, spreading conspiracies that they are getting transitional surgeries AT SCHOOL. kamala is not doing that shit.
this woman is an idiot, im sorry.

Don't be sorry. I'm not a fan. I don't think she's bright but her heart is semi in the right place.

Yeah this is pretty much what I said in my comment too. The fact that her sticking point for not choosing a side is trans rights doesn’t make much sense when the opposition is Trump. Kamala makes it a point to talk about her support for the LGBTQ community, and you’d have to be bonkers to think Trump would be a better choice for that. If Chappell’s sticking point were Palestine (which is mine) I’d understand her “look at both sides” argument better because Harris has openly again and again supported Israel and the genocide so it’s hard to fully support her.

[chll51]

Exactly. Like of all the criticisms against harris/walz, lgbtq+/trans rights aren't it. Sis just ain't that bright or perhaps, she doesn't want to completely vocalize support in a newspaper re: Palestine. Either way, she missed an opportunity.

[screamingintune]

Minnesota is one of the best states for trans rights and that's got a lot to do with Walz's governance it actively does not make sense for her to invoke trans rights instead of Palestine

[bellwetherr]

the trans rights sentence isn't a direct follow up to the other points, it's all cherry picked

[chll51]

Ah gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up
