I mean I understand the point. The left does a great job of creating noise about issues that affect low numbers of people that end up galvanizing more opposition than it generates in votes. If the thing you advocate for ends up getting more votes against it rather than for it due to your advocacy, you just hurt your own cause.

Long term strategy is key.

Trans rights are human rights.

Advocating for human rights shouldn't require a mathematical calculation of how many humans are affected.
