Except he actually hasn’t redistricted, that will be up to the voters in November. Also whatever Newsom does will always ring hollow after platforming Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. Seems to me his issue is just with Trump and not fascism in general (and it should be the latter every time)
It's a pretty good chance it would not be up to the voters in November if he weren't fighting this fight. And when Republicans solidify their fascism with 5 more House seats from TX, what then? Sometimes choices are hard. This shouldn't be, unless you're operating entirely on emotions.
I’m operating on facts: 1. Newsom redistrictiing is the bare minimum he should be doing. No politician should be congratulated for that. 2. Newsom is a horrible person who will throw trans and homeless people to the wolfs without a second thought. He’s Trump-Lite, and that’s a fact.
The fact, to use your framing, is he is the *only one* doing your own "bare minimum". If you don't think that deserves recognition, you don't understand the most basic things about human behavior and are unlikely to ever achieve your political goals. But you do you.
Just say you don’t care about trans or homeless people, and are fine with some fascism as long as it’s not Trump. For fuck’s sake, he had Steve Bannon on his podcast, do you honestly think a hypothetical Newsom presidency would be all that different from Trump?
Just say you don't care about trans, homeless, or any other people because you're okay with Republicans stealing elections. We can't help anyone if we can't win elections. Don't be stupid with your false choices.
We can’t win elections if people like you keep acting like Trump-lite politicians like Newsom are the answer. Also the trans community across the board keep saying they won’t vote for Newsom. I’m sure homeless people hate the photo ops he did ripping apart the few possessions CA homeless had
We won't have elections that matter we don't fight redistricting, because people like you keep insisting on the purity of everyone in the fight. We need to win this fight. It's possible to both support the fight he's fighting, and believe he's an unfit candidate for... anything.
You literally missed my entire point. Nowhere did I say redistricting was a bad idea. I simply stated that we shouldn’t give it to Newsom first doing the bare minimum and being a shitty politician who has fascists on his podcasts. I can walk and chew gum at the same time
You should try talking to people who are or have experienced homelessness and those in the trans community how they feel about Newsom. I think you’ll find outside of your liberal bubble most people aren’t happy with Democrats right now.
I think you know nothing about me, except your prejudiced conclusions.
Truth hurts huh
Fact, he’s far from the only one actually. If you think politicians doing the bare minimum deserve recognition then you will never achieve your political goals, unless it’s to have Trump Lite. Also once again any politician who platforms fascists like Newsom does deserves no recognition.
You're going in circles, avoiding the substance of my points. This isn't productive.
What substance? You keep going to bat for a shitty politician doing the bare minimum who wouldn’t think twice about stepping on your or my neck if it gets hum power. You’re correct that this conversation isn’t productive though.
