"It is humility, respect for traditional liberal values—free enterprise, the rule of law, the physical vulnerability of women. (You can’t rape them or play on their teams.)"
Joe, you do understand that EVERY Democrat in Congress currently co-sponsors a bill to allow any male claiming a female "gender identity" free and unfettered access not only to women's teams, but also women's locker rooms, women's showers, any women-only space, place, event, competition, dating app, whatever.
You know all that, right?
Any male who is challenged in a female space need only say "I'm trans". This is already the law in most blue states, and that's how those laws have worked in practice. Many such incidents (including by registered sex offfenders) have already happened. And this also applies to prisons: convicted male rapists of women get transferred to women's prisons upon uttering the magic phrase "I'm trans". No sex-trait-modification drugs or surgeries are needed, just the utterance of the the magic phrase. And some of these male prisoners have gone on to rape women in the women's prison. This is what "trans rights" means in actual practice.
ALL Democrats in Congress support this, ALL Democrat governors support it, and at least 99% of Democrat state legislators support it.
And this is not new. Famed "moderate" Joe Biden called for the passage of this bill in every one of his four state-of-the-union addresses.
All of which means that I, a registered Democrat for over 50 years, now vote straight Republican, and will continue to do so until either I die, or the Democrats regain sanity. The former is much more likely to happen sooner than the latter.
What does all of that have to do with this from your comment:
"It is humility, respect for traditional liberal values—free enterprise, the rule of law, the physical vulnerability of women. (You can’t rape them or play on their teams.)"
That is a quote from Joe's post. He proposes those as principles for the Democrats to follow. I am pointing out that every Democrat in Congress disagrees with him.
I mostly agree with my friend Joe. Here not so much. I never believed,in the bull,s**t about plying hi when they played role. But in my view the only accepted response to the absolute awfulness and danger of this man is righteous fury.
Joe, we don't need to be told for the millionth time the ways in which the president is terrible, or to calibrate the damage he and his administration are doing. Nor the ways in which the Democratic Party, the Congress, and the political system generally are gravely ill and dysfunctional, possibly fatally so. We need to have your formidable talents (and column inches) focused on identifying and advancing the people, organizations, and institutions that have some promise of getting us through the present troubles to a better place, if possible with minimized damage along the way. And suggesting to us (perhaps by example) anything we might constructively do to support that advance.
Thank you, Mr. Klein. So the U.S. lost to Belgium. I am big fan of baseball ⚾️ America favorite past time. Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet. I wish the President would tend to the People’s work. As of this morning a secretary to the director had to go and have my medication refilled. I find her one terrific lady.
I would say perfect, but it's been so long I've seen anything perfect, I forgot how to spell it.

"Every Achilles has a heel.", but not every heel is an Achilles, look at Trump for example.
The problem with the Red Card and Trump, is that he cares only about winning and has no intertest in sportsmanship.
