"Progressives are making a crucial mistake on culturally sensitive issues like transgender people in sports, by taking the most controversial parts of the agenda and turning them into litmus tests."
"We picked to work on those issues, which were more acceptable. We didn't get to marriage until after these other things had been resolved. And that's what I'm suggesting that we do today."
"Look, Donald Trump, we originally thought was a joke, and then he turned out to be very good at one thing - exploiting voter discontent."
Barney Frank, in hospice care, cautions Progressives about their approach to culturally sensitive issues, particularly regarding transgender athletes. He emphasizes the importance of addressing these topics more thoughtfully rather than using them as litmus tests. Frank reflects on his long history in the gay rights movement, suggesting that Progressives should focus on more acceptable issues first. He also draws a parallel between controversial Democratic candidate Graham Platner and Donald Trump, noting their shared ability to exploit voter discontent despite Platner's current decline.
