If you hate Gavin Newsom and will not support him as an interim Democratic leader, who you got in mind? And who is willing to FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE right now? I’ll wait.
If you hate Gavin Newsom and will not support him as an interim Democratic leader, who you got in mind? And who is willing to FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE right now? I’ll wait.
If you hate Gavin Newsom, then you have a different political goal besides saving our Democracy. And frankly, I don't really care who you have in mind.
I want Talarico or Ossoff.
If they jump into the ring and fight absolutely!
I loved Harris and backed her all the way but she disappointed me by disappearing after her defeat. This is going to sound awful but I believe it: we need a confident, white male to beat trump because of the maga idiots who are all about alpha male. How anyone could think that trump is alpha, egads
I am Jewish, Ossoff is Jewish. The militia guys, the redneck guys will come out in droves to vote against Jews, African-Americans, Gay folks, Hispanics, etc. They will not come out in droves to vote against plain old white guys like Newsom or Walz.
Sad truth. I like him, though. Really like Talarico but he's running for Congress and sure that he doesn't have his sights on the presidency. Smart, white, Christian...everything that the trumplicans love and admire. How could they complain about him?
well, they are demons. Character assassination is their favorite thing in the whole wide world. They will send out their oppo research goons and either find something, or just make it up... Remember Kerry? I think he won the Silver Star and they got a couple of vets to lie about his service
They tried the same thing with Walz. There are veterans who still show up at his halls and yell at him. So sad.
AOC. And I don’t hate Newsom. Just tired of the patriarchy. It needs to be eliminated.
Pritzker seems to be doing a pretty good job. We'll see what he's made of when Donnie decides to occupy Chicago.
Pritzker is my governor. I did not originally vote for him but I did second time around. Still, he has passed 2 pieces of legislation that pissed me off. They put a pretty name on it so the yokels would press 'yes' in the voting booth. I like that he's got some balls...about half what Gavin has.
Chicago was the FIRST city to shut down one of Trump's campaign rallies lol. JB is made of stronger stuff than Newsom. He's been fixing a government that his republican predecessor nearly destroyed, while Newsom inherited a healthy one from Jerry Brown. JB also openly called Trump a rapist.
Good point.
This. And if he decides to fix our very-breaking healthcare system by making it non-profit and single payer, I would canvas for that party so hard.
Pritzker is great. As far as running for Prez in 2028...he's Jewish and our racist loons in this country would probably fight hard against him because of that.
I don’t think we can fear that anymore. No negativity to you, I do understand your point.
Just because I fully support what he's doing doesn't mean I fully support him as leader of CA, or even as president. The time to debate that is later. He's fighting MAGA by getting down in the mud with them, and I want more leaders to do the same. F*ck decorum and tsk-tsk'ing from the sidelines.
I hate Newsom, but I am still loving his recent Trump Trolls and efforts on the big, beautiful map. Even though it is all just AI driven trolling. I cringe and laugh at the same time.
It’s damn funny and a little humor and laughter never hurt anyone. 😂😂😂
It is damn funny. I kinda look forward to when the next one will drop.
Lol Pritzker: he isn't throwing homeless and trans people under the bus
Since he started this you can see all the overwhelming support from Democratic leaders he has received, you may not be able to provide seats but you can provide a voice to lend support. None of you can speak out daily? You're all just so busy? No reason we should be hearing crickets right now, none.
someone who isn't actively going onto right wing podcasts or throwing minorities under the bus???? pritzker comes to mind.
Get him involved then. Do something. Make it happen.
Democrats Keep LOSING BECAUSE -> *They're weak fighters *The Party is too divided *Mostly single issue voters *Keep repeating same mistakes *Blinded by hope *Their messaging sucks *Too many candidates run *Have Lobbyists $ *Out of touch with voters *Too focused on Donor $ *Never once said RECOUNT
WTFU People NOW - Get behind this man - like him or not - Democrats LOSE because of the DIVISIONS amongst us with dozens of candidates. The Republicans are COMPLETELY UNITED in Hatred & Greed with an uneducated voter base. No one is going to be 100% perfect. Vote for ONE candidate and ONLY ONE!!
Can we decide whether the candidate being chosen now is a left wing mistake or a centre right mistake? Because I've seen both claimed.
No candidates for a race that might not happen have even been chosen yet focus on for local elections THIS year if you live somewhere having any. Focus on those actual candidates. Because trans and homeless are already heading for the camps that latinos are already in. Right now.
Unfortunately, that's true - I hate being right about all of this evil greedy regimes actions and goals - 1/3 of eligible voters did not even bother to vote in 2024 + 52% of white women did not vote for Harris/Walz, even for their own freedoms and futures
Yeah and if you would have checked my profile, you’d know I agree that white women and a third of democrat voters are to blame for the bus trans people are already under. The time to defend our rights was then. Biden was the most pro trans president is history. Harris/walz was the last chance.
Absolutely 💯, no candidate is perfect, there will always be something somewhere someone doesn’t agree with, but look at the bigger picture
At least Gavin is teachable & trainable... I think he's learned his lesson, if not he will...not to play in the fking sandbox with right wing.. you have to cut their wings, not flap with them He wants 2028.. but he has to go through our demands this time We pick the next DOJ & FBI
What exactly happened with the Charlie Kirk podcast?
💙👊
My thinking precisely. You may not like everything about him. But who else is fighting back at this level.
Yep.
Right. JFC people…stop thinking about 28 or we won’t make it to 26. Appreciate what Newsom’s doing NOW since he’s one of very few pushing back and we NEED to fight harder.
Trans Americas won’t see 2028 if yall keep focusing on it. We need to focus on getting through midterms with a congressional majority first.
Both houses. We need to get out the vote! 36% of registered Democrat voters did NOT VOTE in last election. Focus on voting for Democrats.
Congress means house and senate. Correct, we need a majority in both to return checks and balances and to keep EVEYONE out of concentration camps. They are already here and already in use, trans people are next along with Medicaid recipients for some reason. This is serious.
Absolutely!!
💙👊
As we say over here "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"
You're the Democrat, can you not find one person who stands up for trans people, stands against concentration camps and against genocide, and can hire a social media manager to troll Trump? Can you not find a single decent person in the entire party?
Huh?
Why is it up to the people your party has shunned for decades to tell you who can lead your party? I'm an independent on the left, you didn't listen when we told you Clinton was a bad pick, or Biden, or that Harris would lose votes if she didn't support Palestinian freedom. So pick your own leader.
Why don’t you answer my question in my original post? You neglected to do that. Who besides Newsom would make a great interim leader?
Anyone who stands against genocide and stands for trans people. Are there none of those to pick from in your party?
Give me a name or two.
Karl Marx
JB, who is obviously miles better than Newsom but you can't have him, he's ours. We already gave you a decent President, America.
Why are we even talking 2028?
#TeamNewsom 👊
#TeamNewsom
Exactly. Silence from the tankies.
"silence"
Silence. No solutions. Just whining and gaslighting.
People who don’t want trans people to continue to be scapegoated aren’t… communists.
I agree. Show me anyone doing anything.
Exactly.
So my governor is Pritzker, I support what he does for the people of our state. I appreciate the governor of California standing up for democracy. Picking a candidate that you would support to run for president right now is putting the cart before the horse. Let’s kick some Nazi ass first.
Exactly. Thanks for your words of positivity.
💯
Pritzker
When’s Pritzker getting on board?
If you remember he’s the one that hosted TX Dems recently, he’s very outspoken about what’s going on right now and also isn’t an anti-homeless or anti-trans freak.
Pritzker is great, but he is Jewish. I am Jewish. I can tell you that running a Jewish guy will activate all the militia and redneck folks to vote against him. Run a plain old white guy like Newsom or Walz and their own apathy will not bring out numbers.
Many maga are disillusioned with trump bc of the epstein files and will not vote in protest
No, they’re gonna show up and vote red every time. It’s democrats who have problems with alignments and disillusionment, see: Jeffries’ and others behavior and response to Mamdani becoming the dem candidate for mayor.
maga are pissed w trump. Some fell back in line some left the train 10 years too late
we keep fighting and fighting and fighting and hope for the best...
Looks like your stupid question already has been answered. Fuck you.
Hey quick question. If trying to force random strangers into an ultimatum didnt work last election, what makes you think its gonna work with someone a hundred times worse than Kamala?
I dont like him, but I dont have to like him to understand he is useful in this fight against fascism. We must put some things aside and force the fascism out. Then we can go back to arguing amongst ourselves.
Exactly that 👍
Beautifully stated! Thank you!
I love Gavin
Thank you! So do I!!!
I liked Newsom ever since he walked into Fox "News" to debate Ron DeSantis. Newsom ran circles around DeSantis and Sean Hannity (the "moderator" who did everything he could to help DeSantis & trip up Newsom). Newsom is articulate and unafraid. Bring it on.
I agree 💯💯💯! Newsom is fearless and not afraid to take on Trump.
We can have many strong voices. This one leader thing is just a convenience for the MSM, the GOP influencers, and other sundry talking heads. Don’t fall for it.
idk i might even take ferguson
Dem leaders just talk big game but do nothing. Only Newsom walks the talk.
Exactly!
Exactly!
They don't have anyone in mind. Except Bernie and Jill Stein. medium.com/extra-extra/...
Literally no one is asking Bernie or Jill Stein to run. You're huffing Russian propaganda. @jbpritzker.bsky.social is a better candidate than Newsom in every way, and has been fighting Trump longer and with more seriousness. He also called Trump a rapist.
Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein will never get my vote.
Jill Stein is so far left, she’s a right wing Russian operative. www.thirdway.org/memo/jill-st...
Goddamn far left extremists. Thanks but no thanks.
“Far left extremists”. Thanks, I needed a laugh today.
American “far left” maps what the rest of the democratic western world calls centre-right
Europeans don’t think Bernie Sanders is far left: they think he’s reasonable.
By European standards, Bernie is slightly right of centre.
As a Dutch citizen, I concur.
Bernie: USSR. Communist Cuba. Sandinistas. East German Stasi. Stalinist Kibbutz. Russian sister city. Soviet Honeymoon. Fidel Castro.
“cUz bErNie CaLLz hIMzSeLpH a sOcYaLiZT” But funny how lately all the MAGAts are tripping over each other, lining up with their big goofy traitorous smiles to deep throat their Kremlin masters. Who’s the commie now, bitch?
I'm for centric too. I appreciate Bernie and I appreciate his gumpson-yet I'm for both capitalism with some socialism. Since these politicians from all side haven't figured out a better Healthcare system.For USA to provide a choice of Universal Healthcare AND private care. People have a choice.
You can't have "capitalism with some socialism." The two are incompatible. Our education system has people so confused and backwards that people think socialism means, "when the government does stuff." No. Socialism is when the working class collectively owns and controls the means of production.
Yes we do! Capitalism and socialism coexist in mixed economies through mechanisms like social democratic policies, which use government regulation and social welfare programs to temper capitalism, and by incorporating socialist elements like worker cooperatives within capitalist frameworks.
Socialism is not when government does stuff. Socialism is when the working class owns and controls the means of production.
And in a socialist state, people have choices. Why would you want private insurance if healthcare is free? You have fallen for the anti-socialist propaganda, and no one will convince you otherwise, so, good day.
Oops...medicaid...I have Obamacare.
I'm in a Healthcare that is free right now with Medicare. And people pay high taxes that gets universal care in other countries. Nothing is truly free. Even the universe is about give and receive. We can have Universal Care (which comes out of our taxes) AND private care. People get to choose.
No, socialism is the end result of capitalism>communism> socialism, by the Hegel model of thesis>antithesis>synthesis. What we have is capitalism with a few social programs and services. Capitalism is an exploitational system that relies in humans as resources like gold and oil. Socialism is
an egalitatrian state, and everyone benefits. Capitalism is a "crumbs fall to the bottom" form of economy and it can be only be sustained as long as unions are not allowed any power.
Don't take the bait, nobody is supporting Jill Stein and nobody thinks Bernie is going to lead the revolution. That being said, Bernie would have won and not voting for him in 2015 was a mistake that anyone who supported Hillary needs to own up to.
Bernie didn't win. PERIOD. TWICE. Democrats are not Communists or Marxists. Bernie has despised the Dems ever since JFK tried to take out Bernie's hero, a brutal Communist named Fidel Castro.
LMFAO the amount of idiocy you just unleashed on the world 🤣🤣🤣 You have to be pretty retarded to think Bernie is a communist.
We need communism to fight fascism.
Who does?
The working class.
re Nader... Car companies sent out a prostitute, to catch him in something compromising!!! Nader was such a nerd, he didn't even understand that the prostitute was hitting on him. Me? So, the car companies gave up... Nerd super powers.
Yup, lets be pure and vote for Nader and let the GOP take power. Do have a funny Nader story though. Stopped some car company corruption. they did not know how to stop him.
Yup, let's be pure and vote for Hillary and let the MIC take power. Do have a funny Hillary story though. Overthrew the sovereign country of Libya. Ended up with literal slave markets where there previously was the highest standard of living in Africa. Oops.
Absolutely nobody is supporting Jill Stein in real life, you easily duped moron.
Jill Stein is a Russian asset, you stupid piece of dog shit.
www.thedailybeast.com/how-putin-pl...
LITERALLY LINKING A FAR RIGHT NEWS SOURCE YOU FUCKING MORON How stupid are you?
So is Bernie.
Wrong, you stupid piece of dog shit.
Do you think we should ask Tulsi Gabbard if Bernie is a Russian asset? LOL.
www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/07...
Do you think we should ask Bernie's longtime pal, Kurt Stand, about Bernie and the USSR, Communist Cuba, Sandinistas, and East German Stasi? www.trevorloudon.com/2018/07/week...
Perhaps you can explain why Bernie's campaign strategist, Tad Devine, met with Manafort/Christian Ferry (campaign managers for Trump/Lindsey Graham) and a Russian spy named Kilimnik concerning Ukraine? I'll wait.....
Perhaps you can explain why Bernie's campaign is in the redacted version of the Mueller Report?
Perhaps you can explain why Bernie is a hero in Moscow on Russian State TV next to Michael Flynn? Perhaps you can explain why Moscow funded Facebook ads for Bernie and Jill Stein? I'll wait..... LOL.
Bernie is 83...way too old. Jill Stein? Really? Green Party? We had trouble electing a long standing, centrist, well liked Dem (Biden). No one who is on the edges is going to win a national race. Hey, I love the Green Party. Doesn't mean they can win a national race.
Who is "They"? Chris Murphy would be a good candidate. And BTW, if I am "they" then "YOU" have been doing the same thing over and over for decades, and here we are. Ruled by Trump.The "far left" is not your enemy.. Ill continue to vote for Democrats even when they dump on me, but I'm not changing.
🦋💙✌️
how many rs are in the word blueberry?
Kind woman, you’ll be waiting for a while. Gavin, seems to be the only person who gets it. No rules no going high. This is a WAR for democracy.
Gavin is the only warrior fighter we have at this very moment. More need to join the cause, but they’re really not jumping at the opportunity to FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
It's not simple. I don't hate Newsom. I don't trust him. I am very pleased that he found out a way to fight back against the insanity. I am happy to have him continue doing this, because it's working. I hate that this is what is needed in the US right now. I think he'd be a terrible President.
I wouldn’t want him as president but damn it if he gets us through the mid terms, that’s just what we need. We can worry about 28 if we can get democracy to survive through 26.
The account I was replying to seems to be deactivated. Did I fall for a fake? Hmmmm....
He might blocked you for some reason or other bug happened, because I see the thread.
Looks like it was a glitch of some kind. :-)
Which is why the democrats are looking at more heartbreak in the future. They refuse to acknowledge the bright young rising stars, while standing behind do nothing old fogies, who think sternly worded letters will do their bidding.
Fighting fire with fire right now would mean going to the homes of republican leaders and kidnapping them then deporting them to random countries they arent from. Which im all for. But yea i do hate gavin newsom and wont be supporting him or any other centrist
👆 👆 👆
JB
Newsom, Pritzker, and Hochul are meeting the moment. I think other presidential candidates will come forward in the months to come. Like a Chris Murphy or Beto O Rourke, and a few others.
The Robles is, they need to act, not in the months to come, but YESTERDAY.
100% agree with you
Maybe this will help: Clara Jeffrey @ bsky: People spend so much time on here signalling what they think of Newsom, pro or con or mixed, and like...the primary is three years away. If it happens. Marshal your energy.
the front lines longer than Newsom.
Here's another take: How about nobody hates Gavin Newsom, and all the withering mockery against that Orange Sonuvabitch is welcome. But, we've got fighters like Elizabeth Warren, Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jon Ossof, Rev. Ralph Warnock, Eugene Vindman. They've been on
In my view it is shortsighted and unwise not to coalesce around anyone among Democrats who have the balls to stand up and do what he's been doing. There's a long time and road before 2028 but this is about coalescing around leadership for the midterms. The party needs leadership for the midterms.
I say we draft John Stewart.
We have plenty of room for multiple fighters. I support Newsom, Pritzker, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and many others. We must all fight. I don't care who, just fight for Democracy.
The rest of the best can be in the much needed administration - we need to take our country back. Democracy is bleeding out and almost gone. Rule of Law is over with the weaponized Dept of Justice. Homeland is a Gestapo in America etc etc. Without resorting to weapons, this has to be a United Front.
💙👊
Pritzker. I’ve been watching his actions for eight years now and he seems about as you can expect a billionaire to be. I love Newsom’s approach to dealing with the 🍊🤡 though! Mirroring the ridiculous tweets is the most effective counter measure I’ve seen.
Agreed, he definitely should be in the ring , but Newsom’s trolling Trump is a pleasure to watch
The trolling is epically funny. 😂😂😂
It really is TT 🤣
So both! About 8.000 more needed! AOC, Pete, Tim, Crockett ...
Pritzker appears politically to have much bigger balls than Newsom.
Let’s see what Pritzker does. Jury is still out.
That’s why I said “appears”.
Meant to say as real as you can expect.
I agree!
When Zohran Mamdani wins I imagine he will become the easiest choice for leader largely because while Gavin can attack Trump and piss him off. New York is something Trump wants to focus on and it trusts Zohran in more direct conflict with Trump.
somebody who disagrees with the republicans on the majority of things would be nice.
I like Pritzker *shrugs*
Maybe there will be other choices between now and 2028...yet for now that Newsom is looking better. Also in 2032 that we can vote for another President with Newsom-- unlike with 47 & his peeps. Given California is #4 in the world economy...while imperfect...he has some experiences & skills.
This is the same people who were Democrats and voted for 47 or didn't vote cause of their stance with being mad at Biden for USA support with Israel. Yet how did that end up working out? The same with thinking with Newsom. BTW, USA 98% always help oversea. Nenyahu was playing games cuz he is w 47.
We the people can take this country back. generalstrikeus.com
I'm assuming its all dishonest soft bashing.
Not many others are willing to mock the 🤡. We need more of it because this is a complete shit show. When we have more of what Newsome is doing, we'll be that much closer to the end. But he can't be alone.
Absolutely 💯
JB Pritzker. Andy Beshear. Both governors who didn’t wait for things to get dire to be courageous leaders.
Right Now!
Blue governors are working together. 💙🇺🇸 It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” share.google/hihACUdyyUXU...
If we don’t protect 2026, we won’t have to think about the question if Newsom could be a presidential candidate in 2028. I’m usually all for the long term plan but this is more an “I-see-an Iceberg-Titanic-Moment” and nobody but Newsome seems willing to change course.
I feel the same.
right now is the time to support anyone and all who are willing to step up and fight for a free and democratic country. It might be a very long time before you see primaries again if you don't support the fighters now.
unless they're trans, in which case fuck em they don't need rights, right?
I am truly confused by this statement. I was moved when Newsom signed sweeping legislation to protect trans people, their families, and their rights. What did he do or say that I missed that indicated he doesn't think trans people need rights? I would like to know. calmatters.org/newsletter/t...
skill issue
He said in a podcast appearance that trans people shouldn’t be able to make their decision to transition before the age of 25, this would be disastrous given puberty would be done by then.
Thank you for responding to my question with calmness and a desire to help me understand. I googled "did Newsom say people shouldn't be able to make their decision to transition until they are 25" and could find nothing. If you have the time to direct me to a link, I would appreciate it. 1/2
Here is the podcast I’m refereeing to youtu.be/5BBq3Q_fHSU, it’s at 2:58:00. You can watch the whole segment if you like, it’s pretty much a “both sides” all the way.
Thank you so much for taking the time to find this for me. I appreciate it. Getting ready to listen, now.
I queried ChatGPT and read this about whether or not Newsom said age 25…
Asking ChatGPT is not research especially since it’s source material is potentially years old. Here is the podcast the timestamp is 2:58:00 youtu.be/5BBq3Q_fHSU
I know ChatGPT isn’t the final word, but in doing research I find it helpful and it can lead to other sources.
I agree that it’s helpful, I am saying it’s the least reliable with new out information and stuff that is not directly indexed in news articles.
It’s not reliable. When I need a quick answer I go there first and then find reliable sources. It’s the only way.
Agree! I fact check more than one source, and I’ve not found ChatGPT to be wrong yet.
I did my genealogy research on Ancestry and hit a road block. So I decided to give ChatGPT a try and OMG! It was one of the most amazing things that’s ever happened to me. ChatGPT helped me uncover a major family secret.
he's also said multiple times that it's "unfair" for trans athletes to compete against others of their gender.
Tbh I don’t think I can win on the sports issue.
maybe not but personally I don't particularly care because my morals don't depend on what will help a democrat win an election
People responded to one thing he said and decided he hates trans people, rather than trying to send Newsom information to help him take a better position of support. Same thing happened with Kamala Harris and some of her statements.
politotions dont change, they justy oie about it. After biden people know that
Obama and Biden both changed their positions on first same sex marriage and then trans rights. Neither of these have been around d very long and it wasn’t a republican.
Biden changed his position on LGBTQ rights. Hell, BUSH even changed his position on that. It takes pressure, work, and hard, proven facts. Constantly.
They lied. and biden is still a racist too
Then all I can think is you never grew up and changed your mind about anything either. George Carlin said it best when he said that politicians don’t come out of nowhere. They come from the public. Maybe the problem is the public sucks.
whatever, hes still a bamned racist he stil thinks anything woke is just a bunch of malarke and screw demicrats forthroweing tat racist murdirous nazi in our face
Obama was against LGBT rights once as well, and made a lot of terrible choices. You think Obama, the person who put all those protections in that Trump is reversing, the one who advocated for immigration… didn’t change his position on things?
And if you don’t believe people can change, you are still mentally a child. I used to be anti-LGBT, and grew up with racist tendencies. Now, I’ve come out as nonbinary, immigrated to a foreign country, and live a much better life overall. But that takes work.
We can guide ignorance from a lack of knowledge. We can’t solve the problem of people who decide to be ignorant solely so they can go on hating people they don’t agree with.
This is wisdom. Thank you for responding with calmness and facts.
Don’t get me wrong though. Newsom has had a lot of issues. I can understand why people don’t like him. But I wish we could have a discussion with the current politicians to help them see where they are wrong.
Be careful here, Music. I got called a few names on here earlier tonight for not hating Governor Newsom. ☮️
You should’ve the hate I got! OMG you woulda thought I killed someone with the trash they tossed at me.
Gavin Newsom said that it was better to "find common ground ( on the trans issue) with conservatives" then fight for us. Yeah, I'd say your morals might be a bit fucky if you're a progressive but allow that.
Since you're not actively crashing out and posting "gender critical" talking points, I'll try to give the reasons with citations. On March 6th, he had a get together with Charlie Kirk - not a great guy - and said "I'm not wrestling with the fairness issue (in relation to trans athletes) 🧵
He said multiple times during that interview and later ones, as early as last month on the 23rd that "The most damaging thing to Harris' campaign was her support of (trans people)" and when talking on Trump's ad he said: “Then you had the video as a validator. Brutal,” 🧵
He's said one of his inspirations is Bill Maher and how he "Finds common ground with conservatives... especially on the trans issue." (Cited Feburary 28th 2025) In May he slashes 17 million from LBTQ+ women and non-binary health care programs. Saying "some need to sacrifice for the budget" 🧵
There's a ton of little things, like purposefully calling a gay man a woman and telling him to "cut it off already" over on Twitter. While I don't care for Scott Presler, this is kinda fucked up. There's a lot of indicators that if someone told him he could get 1% in the vote, he'd sell us out.
I just googled and could find no link to him saying anything on twitter telling Scott Presler "to cut if off already." Could you direct me to that quote. It is horrible if he said it. I am no Newsom fan girl. I lived in Cali for years. But that just shocks me that he would say that.
Wait, hold up I was going to slep but- You read the rest of that and went "Yeah this is fine" and it just the "cut off your dick" thing that upset you? I wanna be clear that the rest was like "Yeah, this kosher"
Oh no absolutely not. That was just the first thing I looked up. I can see how it looked that way. But that is not at all what I meant.
I don't have a twitter account anymore but let me see what I can do in the morning. I dragged that one from a news article intermixed with like 5 others about the incident - also apparently he kept calling Scott Nancy Mace? Idk that's the more fucked up part.
Thank you for having this conversation with me. I am going to research the information you have taken the time to give me. I appreciate that you took the time. It is so fucked up that we have to fight for any human beings right to peacefully exist and simply be in this world. Peace.
Government. Newsom sole "sin" is he believes Trans competing in women's sports isn't a fair playing field. With this one exception, he has been supportive of the LBGTQ community. Governor Newsom Signs Legislation Supporting LGBTQ+ Californians | Governor of California share.google/0zI0DgEbfWCp...
This is what I don’t get. We are in an authoritarian occupation. I understand Newsom has not been completely aligned with trans rights, although IMO it’s political posturing, but regardless this has nothing to do w/2028 right now. We are at a moment where we knock fascism straight on its face…
…or we succumb to full blown dictatorship and lose our democracy. The fight is now, not 2028. And I don’t see too many people really going toe-to-toe with this regime besides Gavin. So who’s going to step up? If this regime continues, there will be no LGTBQ+ existence.
If you don’t like Newsom, then don’t vote for him in the primaries. But I think it’s ok to root for the guy who’s not trying to destroy country over the guy who is. Geezus fucking Christ, just ask the Gaza holdouts. How well did that work out for them?
save me the crocodile tears you fuckaas bitch.
sweet bloody ... supporting initiatives by the douche canoe to hinder your fascist gov't is not the same as supporting the man. I'm just a Canadian that really wishes the neighbours would get it together so their gov't will stop threatening my birth country, and my now home Mexico. maybe russia is
happy with the turdiness, but the rest of world is fed up. It's time to look at the big picture and do what is best for you. you can 'fuck you newsom', work against him and risk the really viable option of concentration camps, I believe the govt used the word 'institutionalized' or work together
Thank you for this. My experience of these particular whingers is that they are extremists. Extremism is toxic, whether right or left, high or low. I am beyond sick of having to deal with other people's extremism. I've got my own stretchy issues to monitor and curb.
I totally and fully support Gavin Newsom. 🦋💙☕⚖️
I saw it coming when that son of a bitch shouted out at Barack Obama. “you lie“ that rose should’ve been stemmed right then in there.
Yeah, we are way past the point of the Gentleman Statesman… or the Michelle Obama they go low we go high… None of that has worked and it has led us exactly to the point we are right now.
Yes I agree. I never agreed with the statement, “when they go low, we go high.” Never resonated with me.
Pritzker
It's not a question of whether Newsom is your guy. It is a question of whether he can win. Because, whatever his failings are...he is 10,000 times better than the MAGA cult. And there is no individuality in that cult. They all vote in one block. Whatever GOP person runs, is the same as the rest
Dems always find ways to take looming success and just ruin it. It's some kind of addiction to not winning. Everyone nits and picks about their specific cause...and since there are 10,000 different causes out there, no one is ever good enough... and we stand in a circle and shoot each other dead.
Yes you are 💯 correct
Yeah you pretty much nailed it.
My cat says that I am the cat's meow (but that is just because I feed her) ++++ 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬-𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐬 Yeah you pretty much nailed it.
😂😂😂 you made me giggle!
instead of saying thank you, I say Danke Schoen. And instead of saying Danke Schoen, I just link to Wayne Newton... www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbqh...

I don’t hate Gavin Newsom, I just find his criminalising of homelessness in CA monstrous and debate whether a man who can’t look after his own constituents should be running the entire USA. Show me a Dem candidate who isn’t a sock-puppet for the corpos, and I’ll consider voting for that person
Criminalizing homelessness or looking for solutions? Each city has individual responsibility. Here is Gov Newsom's plan. Governor Newsom releases state model for cities and counties to immediately address encampments with urgency and dignity | Governor of California share.google/YWjIKX5LjspO...
Please check out JB Pritzker. He's doing a hell of a job at servant leadership and NOT throwing the trans community under the bus.
I’ve heard good things, but amongst the corpo dems it’s all relative. I’m open to hearing about him though.
I expect you'll need more than one fiery speech, but this is a decent jumping-off point for getting to know the man's approach. youtube.com/watch?v=zMnd...
They're talking about "right now" here in this moment, fighting to keep our Democracy. But not just a few, all leaders in the Democratic party should be putting in equal effort.
This is not a vote or election. This is about saving democracy NOW. Not in 2028, NOW. We need a leader NOW!
As long as he keeps it up, the only thing important right now is the same as before, someone with the leadership to stop the regime. We can be picky later. That was the problem with Biden people got picky again. Looking for perfect where it doesn't exist.
💯💯💯
People are coming out of the woodwork to show you Newsom doesn't have the leadership to stop anything. You can't win an election by alienating wide swaths of people who's votes are NEEDED.
If we don't stop the regime, it won't matter. I'll vote for anyone that has what it takes
It doesn't matter who you'll vote for if it's a candidate who can't get enough votes to win. If a candidate is creating this much drama with the Dem base, pay attention and correct course or expect to lose the election.
Correct course to who? Times running short.
Pritzker is doing more to stop Trump than Gavin has, and he's not actively going on a right wing media tour laundering their anti+trans propaganda. bsky.app/profile/bana...
Right now all that matters is who can get the support to stop Trump, if we don't do that we have only begun to see cruelty.
That's great but we're telling you straight up we won't support Newsom when he's actively saying trans adults shouldn't be able to access healthcare. You've been warned repeatedly. If you think you can win by running to the right and alienating the left, I'd refer you to the Harris campaign results.
Yeah who? They have nothing. There is no one else stepping up and doing the dirty work that Newsom is doing.
I would hardly describe holding corpo Dems accountable for kneeling down to their corpo overlords and fucking over American workers ‘drama’.
Yes, I wish Nancy Pelosi and other democrats would have stayed behind Biden.
I don’t know what happened. It all just fell apart. JFC we’ve been through a lot.
Yes, I didn't like Nancy and Kamala's indecisiveness when asked if they still supported President Joe Biden after the debate. They should have answered with a firm "YES!"
I really believe he was drugged before the last debate. He was way off his game.
My final comment on this would be if he's still around, he won't allow another election, way too much at stake, so we're basically going to have to trust in the ones that will stand up to him, including military, the law, and their oaths. If that's beyond repair your looking at the next N Korea.
Thank you for your sane post. It has really resonated with people today.
You nailed it!
Fairness to workers, and wages keeping pace with inflation, and not wanting America to continue their complicity in a genocide in Gaze is not ‘being picky’.
Kinda like it was 20 years ago. I'll go along with that.
You misunderstand. youtu.be/ULYWIDcUOY4?...

I’ll be honest, I won’t vote for Newsom in the primaries(not that we will have any), but I 100% support he fight against fascism, and if he is the nominee I will hold my nose and vote for him, because that’s who the party that most aligns with my politics chose. I don’t engage in purity politics.
We can protect trans people and homeless people better in a government that respects the basic rules of democracy. We need to make it through 26 and try to salvage whatever we can and not let this country fall further into fascism.
Somehow the universe saw me worthy enough to make me the parent of a trans and an enby child. We have to win this war on democracy so that we can get back to fighting our other battles, that’s all that matters to me now.
Keep fighting for your kids! My mom is the mother of me, a lesbian, and my gender fluid sibling. Shes fighting the same fight you are. I know your kids appreciate you fighting for them more than they could possibly put into words. ❤️
Jasmine Crockett
Love her!!
She is pure 🔥
I have a fantasy… Gavin Newsom w/ Jasmine Crockett team.
Agreed that would be beyond wonderful, but I don’t believe USA is ready for such a strong woman like Jasmine Crockett, she is too smart, outspoken, intelligent
He did a podcast with her recently and I got such good vibes. But, wishing goes nowhere under fascism.
😂😂😂
I dont hate Newsom, but there is a lot of tech money that flows his way. No one has mentioned Buttigieg. Curious as to why?
Gavin is my guy. Hopefully soon we will have a heavy duty coalition of on fire Dems working together . We lost the election partially due to this weird purity tests we push on our own.stupid when we are losing our democracy. We can sort out the issues later.
Yes that’s the problem with Dems, they never fight dirty and occasionally they should, it would show undecided that they have cojones
