Fine. He doesn't need to be leader of the country. No one is saying he shouldn't do these good things. We're saying he should suck less on the other stuff. And if he can't suck less, find someone who is good on all these things to support.

Yes! He should be called out for his transphobic bullshit. 100% agree.

Yes, which is what most of the people disliking him are unhappy about. For me, it was his policies and treatment of unhoused people that made me realize he sucks.

He is no paragon. However, in a fight, you need to have someone punch back. So far only Crocket, AOC, and Pritzker ha e landed any real blows.

No one is criticizing the blows he is landing. People are criticizing because he's being talked about as a savior, when he generally sucks, and are then are being accused of wanting Trump to win again when all they want is someone who can do both - fight back and represent them.

He isn't a savior. He's a fighter. Some people don't understand that we have been called out to a duel to the unalive and Newsome is one of the few who have stepped up.

On this issue, yes. On redistricting. He isn't fighting for the homeless. He isn't fighting for trans people.

If we don't take down the fascists, nothing good will pass moving forward. Big picture. In the meantime, fight locally for things you care about.

I agree. That is where the focus should be.

But as soon as someone says "Newsome sucks for a number of reasons," they got inundated with people saying, "what, you want another Trump?"

No. We don't want another Trump. But we also don't want someone who treats certain people like trash. Or someone who makes nice with those who treat people like trash.

And those who consider themselves allies or advocates for these people should recognize this and work to find someone that represents them as well to lead a movement or the country.
