Also, the idea that any cisgender person should tell a transgender person to get over it is disgusting.

Never said that
Look, the post I deleted was crafted terribly, and I own that. But the place I’m coming from is the idea that all marginalized groups would and will do better under even the worst imaginable Democratic administration than a GOP administration that’s going down the path this one is.
"look, 1% of you might survive under my guy. That's tragic, but under their guy it'll be 0%. If you disagree with me or think this is ghoulish and unnecessary arithmetic, you're childish and unserious"
I don’t want anyone to be sacrificed. I’m desperately grabbing at any straw I can to save as many people as I can - even Newsom, who believe it or not I find reprehensible - because I sincerely believe that would be the least bad outcome, should the choice set come to that.
Then instead of telling us all to hold our noses and vote to be fed into the wood chipper, you should FUCKING DEMAND BETTER OF CANIDATES YOU DAFT PRICK
We are genuinely fighting an authoritarian regime that’s trying to consolidate, and if that happens, things are going to get much, much much worse. Fighting that means the opposition has to consolidate, even groups that hate each other.
You're telling us that we have to be okay dying to preserve your life. I'd rather you die with me.
We have decades of data on this. A unified opposition is the only way to stave off what Trump et al are trying to do.

It's cool that half my feed is people refusing to vote for [Candidate] unless 100% of their campaign is about them personally.
It's cool that you're willing to vote for a guy who endorses genocide
Again, the fact that you won't acknowledge that you are a cisgender person makes me question anything you have to say. Do you not like being classified?
What I’m saying is true regardless of any of my social identities, but since it seems to matter to you, yes I’m cis.
Do you know that Kamala Harris never once uttered anything about my lgbtq community at all. She alluded to marriage equality in some of her speeches on the campaign trail but never once mentioned the equality act or anything about trans people. It was disgusting erasure.
I hope you are coming to understand why there are many of us who are very enraged at the Democratic party right now after we've voted for them for decades and have gotten almost nothing from them. Marriage equality was won because of everyday citizens and lawyers, not elected officials.
We told Kamala Harris all last summer and into the fall on Twitter. Do the right thing with all the issues that I told you about just before and she ignored us. She listened to the consultants who caused so many losses in the past. I'm sick of it all.
I completely agree with you. Trump and Trumpism represent a grave threat to democracy in the US that can only be defeated thru a broad coalition. Newsom, for all his many flaws, would be a much better candidate in 2028 than any Trumpist. It's the difference between democracy and authoritarianism.
Not so broad that it includes fascist filth and collaborator worms. Piss off, McCrae
“We” lol We’re better off without you and we always were
I would trust Bill Kristol to be president over Gavin Newsom.
The reason why I'm talking to you right now is because we're both cisgender people and I want you to realize how bad you are coming off here.
No, the whole point right now is to make sure that he is not the nominee. All we want him to do is gerrymander California and that's it.
There's a time and a season for that idea, and that time is general election season, when even I will hold my nose and vote for literally any Democrat. Until then, it's primary season and the relevant fight is the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. May the good guys win for once.
Kamala Harris lost because she ignored trans people and their rights as human beings, as well as the rights of the unhoused and undocumented immigrants and refused to deviate from Joe Biden's genocidal policies in Gaza with his Israeli allegiance.
By propping up people like Gavin Newsom you are saying that.
