Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is also the current Democratic Senate candidate for Ohio, found himself in hot water in a past campaign over his response to anti-trans attacks from Republicans, and now he appears to be taking a different approach.
Instead of trying to defend or explain his views on trans rights, Brown released an ad last week slamming Republicans for focusing on trans people at all, when there are so many bigger challenges facing the state.
This is how you do it, you don’t brag about how worked alongside Republicans to harm trans people or lend legitimacy to the sports farce.

Whenever we are talking about the MAGA boogeyman of the day, we are losing. Whenever they bring up Trans, or Biden, or Commies, we have to ignore it, and talk about Affordability, the War, gas prices, corruption, inflation, taxes, AI, Flock cameras, data centers, corruption, ICE, DoJ, FBI, DHS, SCOTUS, corruption, destruction of national monuments, healthcare, education, corruption, election integrity, foreign interference, white supremacy, Sociopathic Oligarchs, corruption, etc.
We need to control the message, not MAGA. They have plenty to answer for, and EVERYBODY knows it, including them, so make them answer to our charges, not the other way around.
And just laugh in their faces every time they say Biden. Humiliate them for their cowardice in not acknowledging that it’s all on Trump and MAGA, and they know it.
And just laugh in their faces every time they say Biden.
It’s begun.
The tone of that “I yield back,” just so “nobody cares about the answer to my question, dipshit, it was rhetorical. Keep stammering, you’re only doing me a favor.”
Ordinarily, I might not vote for Brown, but Hustead is worse and he’s probably ALSO supported by AIPAC.
Now this guy gets it.
You’re so close Mr. Brown. Now stop bending backwards for AIPAC.
Now this guy gets it.
Too bad Sherrod Brown is pro Israel. I will never vote for him!
Dont let perfect be the barrier to progress. Easier to primary him out next time, but stick it to the republicans for now
Sorry I simply will not vote for someone who supports genocide that’s utterly insane.
Won’t do it for president and sure as shit won’t do it for a senator.
Some lines we cannot cross. I will not capitulate to this liberal framing on this - you simply cannot claim to be progressive in any way if you are ok with the wanton slaughter of innocents by an illegal state with no right to exist.
I’m not disagreeing that genocide is bad but the other guy probably supports Israel as well since they’re Republican. It’s your right to not vote but anyone else reading and not voting is the same as supporting the other person by allowing them to be voted in. By not picking a side, you’re picking a side and giving the other side a free pass. You’re basically saying that you are ok if the opposition who supports Israel gets elected because you didn’t use your vote to cancel out a vote. Either way you’re supporting Israel.
The choice here is to vote for a candidate that supports Israel and the rights of Americans or someone that supports Israel and opposes American rights or not vote and let someone else decide for you. You can wait for your perfect candidate while the opposition votes in theirs. It’s your right.
I get it, but that’s not how elections under FPTP works. If you want to be single issue about this, you have to vote for a candidate aligned with your choice on this. If such a candidate doesn’t exist, you have to vote for the least repugnant one.
If you don’t vote, you’re cosigning whatever choice everyone else makes. You not voting isn’t telling anyone that they didn’t get your vote, it’s telling everyone that you didn’t care about the outcome of that election.
Many population overthrow their dictatorship and risked being kidnapped, tortured, starved and killed but you idiots have fair elections and still making excuses to vote for murderers and terrorists
No shit. One can’t take the “lesser of two evils” approach by accepting the greatest of all evils.
So you’re advocating for voting for and condoning an evil government/country?
Tell me what you learned from the 2024 presidential election.
That our candidates are all bought and sold by the same interests and while we pretend just voting solves anything that we are letting them take us for a ride through and through. What did you learn?
Both Harris and Trump basically ran on the same platform. I voted but not for either of them.
I learned that a significant majority of the US voting population will torch the country if the candidates in our inherently flawed voting system are not good enough for their moral or ethical standards. Status quo vs driving the country off a cliff are not the same thing.
The status quo of genocide and endless war in the name of empire? The status quo of silencing dissent in society? The status quo of attacking minorities? Do you think all of this is only supported by the Republicans because I’ve got news for you bucko.
Yes that was the status quo. And now we have the status quo times 1000 worse. Democrats have not been shocked into compliance either. A systemic overhaul is required and it’s bigger than one person.
Do you honestly think that if harris had one, ice would be going around the country and detaining immigrants and putting them in concentration camps?
Yeah, I wont either. But I do not live there, so no worries
Well I do…though if you live in the US I don’t think any of us should be supporting any of these cretins and we should be vocally speaking out about all of them. Not just the ones that effect us directly.
The only way to change the tide is to continue to pressure the ones who claim to represent our interests to bend to our will as they are supposed to.
That’s what people say about supporting the Dems who are taking away trans rights.
Which Democrats are taking away trans rights?
Yep, dont care, .1% of a problem vs 99.9% problems
Don’t. Don’t ever let the size of the group determine your support. All people deserve to live without fear of persecution (real persecution, not modern Christian persecution, mind)
Thank you for saying this.
Why would anyone think it’s okay to compromise with a fascist agenda or genocide because of the cost of gas? First it was eggs. That’s insane. That’s what led to the rise of Nazism.
Does anyone take the magnitude of evil going on seriously? We should be fighting it every step of the way, instead of being hyper focused on some goal of maintaining our consumer index to feed more money to an evil ruling class.
I know it’s difficult because the thought of going through some sacrifice is difficult for people living with first world problems in a materialistic society built upon economic imperialism.
Only support politicians who have to courage to be down with the struggle and walk their talk. I’ll vote blue when it serves the good of humanity to do so.
I’m a human not a statistic.
You are far too privileged and have no right to throw us under the bus.
You’re advocating for voting for a pro genocide candidate.
Yeah, don’t let criminals be the barrier to “progress”
Shit I didn’t know that
Funnily enough it is one of the defining things about him in a climate where many Dems are starting to get the message about distancing themselves from Israel.
That’s right! Allowing the GOP to win will greatly speed up the, uh, “pacification” of the natives! Time is money, after all. Plus, you won’t have to feel bad anymore when they’re gone.
Who did the genocide start under as president? Who lied to the entire country for 2 years about trying to stop it?
Truman. Everybody.
Who just shipped Israel 2.8B in bombs with zero controls on who they are used against?
You’re right every US president is a war criminal and should be treated as such. Biden especially for allowing this genocide to happen in the first place.
Lol Biden didn’t send 2.8B worth of bombs to Israel with no strings attached. That would be your daddy trump, who you helped elect.
Good job!
He sure did fight for Israel for his entire tenure in office both as President and before.
Biden ran cover for this genocide for 2 years while funding it to the tune of nearly $18 billion.
See, this is how I know that you don’t genuinely give a fuck about Palestine, or genocide. You just want Republicans to win, and Palestine is a good enough token for today.
Then who will you vote for?
