First of all, I already said trans rights inform my vote which is why I'm not supporting Newsom. Second, if it comes to it in the general, Newsom would likely end up advancing trans rights the same way Obama advanced gay rights, and his Republican opponent would probably execute trans people.

Why is that likely? Given that he's said the opposite already, why do you feel so confident assuming that he'll actually be nice and he's just saying that he doesn't believe in trans rights for fun? Are you insane?

What's insane is saying you categorically won't vote for ANY Democrat that makes it to the general.

The weird politics fans who are like "Oh, they're just playing when they say the bad stuff. They're only going to do the good stuff"

Obama literally did that!!!

Obama was forced to after a classic Biden gaffe. Interviewer asked Joe about gay marriage and, either forgetting or ignoring the administrations stance, he said he was in full support. After that Obama changed his position publicly

Obama also said he'd do good stuff and then didn't, so why assume Newsom would be better in office than he's promising to be and not worse?

No he literally hasn’t and won’t calmatters.org/politics/202...

If Newsom runs in the general what will happen is his Republican opponent will win If your primary goal is to ensure Republicans don't win, you should be doing everything you can to encourage Democrat leaders to run better candidates and stop depressing turnout chasing Moderate Nazis

Why are people so fucking eager to just settle for nothing? We have a guy who hasn't even announced a run for president and people are already lecturing everyone to give up on everything they believe in and settle for this guy Trying to get 100 million voters to stay home next time I guess

I told you I'm not supporting Newsom! Some of us are just burned by the kind of people who felt that a smug sense of self-righteousness was worth the extra several hundred thousand dead Palestinians their Kamala voting abstention cost.

When people are protesting en masse about Gaza, and the Democrats call them terrorists and say they support Isreal unconditionally? Of course those fucking people stay home. They told them loud and clear they didn't want their vote. And you excuse the fucking Vice President and whine at them

Again, those people chose a smug sense of moral superiority and traded dead Palestinians for it.

It's not Kamala Harris' fault she chose to support an active genocide and lost votes for it. It's the voters fault for not realizing that Genocide without mean tweets is better than Genocide with mean tweets Spoiler: people weren't upset about the tweets it's the genocide

Oh right. They had the choice of: - Let Isreal do what it wants while shaking your head - Let Isreal do what it wants while cheering and saying you'll build a hotel The people who made the policy supporting genocide? Innocent. Everyone but them is to blame. Grow the fuck up

Right, the whole "When Kamala Harris abandoned huge voter groups and pushed them away, I get mad at them instead of Kamala Harris for her shitty campaign" You're doing it already in defense of the next shitty candidate A bad candidate alienating voters is THEIR FAULT. Stop lecturing the voters
