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.

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 time to run someone better.

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