Yes they fucking do. Refusing to vote is closing the restaurant so no one can eat. You just aren’t willing to admit that you’re okay with all others to suffer. You hold all your other causes hostage. Not an ally.

You have three years to make sure Gavin Newsom isn’t the nominee, that’s your job. Get to work.

Because they support Newsom but also want to look like good people

They never answer these questions. 🤔 Another favorite reply to "we have to throw Gaza under the bus to win elections" is "would you kill a child to win an election?" They never answer this one either.

at least not without sounding like a fucking maniac. i saw some pretty bizarre ones back in 2020 that were like "Joe Biden could rape me and I'd still vote for him!"

No, it’s saying “that restaurant only serves raw meat and eggs or human shit with nails in it, you guys can choose to eat there but I’d rather not”

No, the Republican restaurant serves raw meat and eggs or human shit with nails in it. The democratic restaurant serves only pepperoni and sausage pizza.

If one restaraunt has a "no trannies allowed" sign in the window, and the other has a "transgenders - carryout only" sign, then I don't care what either one is serving. I'm not giving them my business.

That makes no fucking sense. A non vote is a non vote. The worst you can say is that it is denying oneself a voice, but it isn’t causing the government to not exist.

Which is why I have said you forfeit your right to complain about negative things that happen if you don’t vote. You lose your voice by no voting.

You just said not voting is denying yourself a voice. Therefore, you have no voice if you don’t vote. These are your words.

Call him an asshole all day long. I’ll happily join you. But if you don’t vote, don’t use your voice to complain when republicans continue to make your life and everyone’s lives significantly worse.

Then don’t fucking nominate someone who doesn’t understand the entire fucking concept of human rights and freedom, and is willing to throw our most vulnerable citizens (trans, homeless) under the bus just because you like his dank memes. JFC, it’s not complicated.

Nobody’s refusing to vote. It’s 2025. There’s nothing to vote on. We’re just being really clear up front we won’t vote for him. If you insist on nominating him, any of these metaphors you’re abusing starts and ends with YOU.

I’ve stated many times that I support Pritzker and others. I would not vote for Newsom except in the general if he gained the nomination. I’d vote for him over a Republican, wasting a third party vote, or not voting.

You do understand how elections work, right? Primaries happen before the general election. Primary: I would not vote for Newsom General: I would vote for Newsom over a Republican, third party, or sitting out. Take care.
