Remember when she invited someone to speak at the state Capitol who was infiltrating neo-Nazis and militias and then got that person exposed because there were no privacy measures in place and those very Nazis walked right into the meeting. What I’m saying is she’s always been beyond wack as fuck

Yep a good-faith critique of learning loss would lead to proposals for a massive, New Deal-scale investment in public education. The people pushing the narrative are doing precisely the opposite.

Dems care, and try, and for that are punished. GOP lies, hurts people, doesn't give a shit, and is rewarded.

Honestly, one time my wife and I decided to smoke as much weed as we could (not that much, we aren't 23 years old anymore) and have one gummie each, and watch Fantasia. It was the most fun couch night either of us ever had

Think about it. "Dems were too zealous in trying to prevent the spread of the virus" is, in US politics, a greater disadvantage, a bigger problem, than "Republican lies got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed for no reason." Just a pathetic fucking country. Pathetic.

It’s insane and it’s a clear signal that many Dems’ “political instincts” are a flimsy front for neurosis and conflict aversion. They hesitate to lean on the largest protest movements in US history (again this year!) but quake in terror at the slightest hint of right-wing grassroots sentiment.

We are THREE YEARS OUT GAVIN IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION THIS IS EXACTLY WHEN WE SHOULD BE DEFINING WHAT WE WILL AND WON'T STAND FOR. Nominate somebody else, I'll doorknock, I'll donate some of my (not enough) money, I'll vote, I'll phone bank. Juat not for Gav. Pick someone else for the love of god
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah, fair enough. To answer, 1) Trump won't be running. And 2. Will probably be dead. 3. Gav would be Less Bad. But Still Bad 4. If Newsom wins by only HALFWAY piercing my wife, being a weathervane so to speak, he def loses 4 years later and things get dramatically worse. That said 1/

Who the fuck said anything about sitting out the primary? My first election was 04. I was Dean/Kerry, Obama/Obama, Obama/Obama, Bernie/Hillary, Bernie/Biden, /Biden-Harris/Harris. But no way does Newsom get a vote from me.

Stabbing you is 1000x better than shooting you in the face, and yet there are literally a couple hundred million people who won't even stab you. Why is Newsom, 3 years before the primary, the hill you want to die on? I am saying I will happily support almost ANY Dem nominee, just not Newsom!

Yeah, Bernie absolutely had/has flaws. I voted for him in 2 primaries. I voted for Clinton and Biden in the general. I'm a leftist, not an idiot. No way no how no Newsom.

Beavsuw 3 years before a primary i said I won't vote for that guy? He's not anointed by God, just pick a guy who won't destroy homeless ppl's shit with his bare hands + doesn't tell Charlie Kirk he agrees w/ him on trans issues! Good god, if it was September 28, yall might have a leg to stand on

Yeah, between a Nuke and a conventional bombing campaign, I'd pick Not-Nuke. But we got three YEARS to not pick Bombing Campaign either, so maybe stop acting like people who hate Newsom are somehow Wreckers

Goddammit none of you care about trans people, except to say, "well, being a 2nd class citizen with less rights is better than dead, right?!" When we have 3 whole fucking years to NOT pick Newsom and pick somebody who isn't a bastard! Sorry i won't sacrifice my wife so you guys can win red v blue

Gav literally said on the record to Kirk he's open to sports and bathroom bans for tans people I'm really really disappointed that doesn't bother you

Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, I want to rage at people who *within the last month* have said they want to take rights away from my wife. Sorry if that somehow doesn't make sense for you. Obama never said "gay marriage is legal and I want to change that" Gav did say "yeah, maybe sports and bathrooms make sense"
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
No he's not. Pritzker is doing as good if not better, Newsom is just (truly genuinely) kicking ass on social media in a very effective way. He's still a bad bad bad person and a bad choice
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
Cool! Can't stop me from saying no way no how will I vote for him. I've never voted 3rd patty or abstained. Not in 16, not in 04, (when Kerry said, "yeah, Iraq is bad, I'd just do it better!"), not in 20, or 24. No way no fucking how will I ever vote for Gavin Newsom.
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
He didn't host James Dobson on a podcast and say "I agree with you actually, my son (who i raised) is a big fan." Do you really not see the difference?

Then why are you yelling at the left over this? Nearly 100% of the left is "awesome trolling, good job redistricting, not my POTUS" and yall scream at the left for that!

I think there are 500M people who aren't Trump OR Newsom, and this obsession with yall telling us to shut up and sit down, when this is EXACTLY WHEN we should be disqualfiying people BEFORE the 28 primary, i mean.... juat don't fucking pick Newsom! Not hard!

Don't be disingenuous, he literally told Charlie Kirk he agreed with him
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks for instantly confirming you dont give a shit about my wife's rights. You limit 1% of the rights of a 1% minority? Thats step one to fascism, just blue vs red. The next time a GOP fash takes office the Dems are clearly already OK with it
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
Because sometimes we are at a shopping mall and she needs to piss. And Newsom would make that a felony if it earned him an extra 500 votes. Fuck him all the way

My trans wife having fucking rights fucking matters. Which other small minority group are you cool with fucking over because Boue vs Red, right?

Happy to have his trolling of Trump. Happy to have him on the "team." He's not an ally. And if he's just a weather vane, as you say (which i agree with) why the fuck would you want him as POTUS?
Allegedly Joel (@allegedlyjoel.bsky.social) reply parent
He's pretty consistently destroying homeless people's shit while grinning like (and sharing a look, clothes, hairstyle with) Patrick Bateman, going back 25 years And I'm sorry, "hey Charlie Kirk. My son is a big fan and I agree with you about Tr*nnies" is 100% a dealbreaker, for now and forever.
