Please understand I’m talking about in the general. I’m not voting for newsom in primary if he even runs. But a no vote is giving power to someone way worse. Do you really believe newsom would wage a war on trans like Trump? His personal views are shitty but cmon
We are so far out from the election, let’s just hope newsom isn’t our guy!
Instead of hoping, why don't you join us in insisting he's not a viable choice
I can and will but we gotta be for real not everyone is on Bluesky or even deeply into politics. Gavin may end up being our guy and we have to vote for him if he is.
No we don't!
I’ll say it again, best of luck to you with the alternative then. And thank you for throwing everyone else to the wolves along with yourself
Even if you believe that, you can just choose to use your energy to campaign for better candidates instead of yelling at trans people for talking about how bad newsom is
I don’t give a shit about newsom lol I never yelled at anyone. In fact I was attacked with some of the most vile comments I’ve ever seen in my life, and I will campaign for a better candidate. Pritzker is my governor you better believe I’m going all in if he runs
Ok if you don't care about him then don't reply to strangers who are saying he's not a viable candidate would be my suggestion
Parker said she wouldn’t vote if it was newsom in the general to which I bluntly replied enjoy the alternative because I found it to be selfish statement. I know newsom would be a tough vote if it came to it but we’re not on the borderline of fascism we’re living it
We can’t afford to fuck around. Can you imagine if Kamala won? The swing states were so close, we lost because dems didn’t vote. She was not a perfect candidate but ice wouldnt be terrorizing people, our own military wouldn’t be invading our cities, our children’s education wouldn’t be fucked with
I mean the list is way too fucking long. We already have voters suppression up against us we can’t afford to fuck around and not vote!
Yeah I know. I'm telling you not to do that. There's no upside and it makes people upset. Stop it. It's an antisocial comment to make to someone worried about their rights. Have some empathy.
Yes I do. I lived in California while he was governor for 5 years, I saw him throwing away unhoused people's belongings with his own hands for a photo op. If you think liberals can't be worse than the right on trans issues, look at the UK. Labor is banning trans men from public bathrooms.
If you truly think he’d be as bad then at that point you have to think about other people that would be affected because no way would newsom do the horrendous shit Trump is. Fuckign sucks being a democrat I know but we have to think of the alternative and keep demanding change where and when we can
