"if you plan to win by sacrificing us, we will take you down with us". So, spite. But it's getting harder to say spite is unwarranted.

Congrats on Trump then

It's wild that you actively want to be political arsonists and hostage-takers. Seems like spite is a bad way to run a democracy.

I'm not trans, although I know plenty of them. And yeah, they're not doing great.

Maybe don't speak for us, fucko.

It's a shame Harris didn't win; Republican elections have shitty consequences, that's why so many of us want to prevent them.

I agree. Harris was also massively better than Newsom. But this is all moot because the most Californian politician alive cannot win a general election.

50 years ago is not today, and Republicans are not Democrats

So let's do things to make sure it's as bad as it possibly can be for trans people. That'll show "those" Democrats.

I say this from the bottom of my heart as a trans person who is married to another trans person: Fuck. You.

What about the other 300,000,000 of us living in the United States?

the impulse to say "all of us or none of us" is completely understandable to me

And I'd prefer helping anyone to hurting everyone. There are three hundred and thirty million people living in the United States, their lives matter, too. You may hate them, but their lives matter, too. Meanwhile even Newsom would be better than Trump on trans issues, the differences matter.

for an extreme counter-example, I'd push an "everyone suffers" button if the only other button was "everyone except billionaires suffers". I can't ask the group being sacrificed to be fine with that.

We're DOING the "everyone except billionares suffer" button RIGHT NOW, UNDER TRUMP. He gave them MASSIVE tax breaks! Meanwhile any Democrat will help more people than Trump would on his best day, more people like us, normal people.

I'm aware. Would "everyone suffers, including billionaires" be morally worse, if it reduces harm to some people? I think harm reduction by cutting the coalition isn't as universalizable as you present it.
sep 1, 2025, 2:42 am • 0 0 • view
You answer that. Tell me if Trump's administration feels moral to you, more moral than what we had before. I'm talking about reducing suffering for the largest number of people, and any Democrat will move us in that direction by leaps and bounds. I think it's worth it, even if it's not perfect.

I understand that, and I respect it. I don't respect Gavin Newsom.

There's literally no reason to respect Gavin Newsom. He sucks ass.

You're just saying you're happy to burn everything down if you don't get everything you want. Fuck the entire world because Newsom's stance on trans issues isn't ENOUGH better than Trump's. Trump is literally working to erase trans people from the world. Newsom sucks but not nearly that hard.

At least you admit you're doing it out of spite. You're literally punishing the people you claim to care about in order to "punish"... who exactly?
