They absolutely are. But tools are tools, and Gavin can be a tool to fight fascism we can throw away later. And gaslighting is gaslighting. Don’t be gaslit into helping their cause because they’ll smile as they watch you knowing you’re helping them build the camps.
i think if you are planning to throw him away you should not be making a huge fuss about how he deserves to be president
Gavin Newsom is not a viable candidate for federal office when a significant amount people are refusing to vote for him. Why fight those people instead of backing someone who can get those votes?
Your helping the far right by supporting a candidate that will only encourage the far left not to vote Democrat There is absolutely nothing you can do that is going to change the fact that most of the left will not vote for him The Democrats are committing suicide and your helping
You comment is total gaslighting used by the far right to stop resisting everything they do. Tell me again, are you a bot, or are you just a tool helping the Far Right promote fascism?
You are defending him Meaning you are supporting him It is a fact the far left won't vote for him a How about I actually engage with my argument instead of just resorting to calling everybody a fucking bot
Dude invited fucking Charlie Kirk on his own podcast, got cozy with him, and agreed with him on literally everything. Like how trans people shouldn't be able to transition until they are 25.
Let me make one correction here. Him saying trans people shouldn't transition until they are 25 was a different podcast. Here is the actual video.
It's so easy talking about tools when you're not the one being thrown into the wood chipper, isn't it?
It's a "necessary sacrifice" as long as you're not the one being sacrificed
You say, while condemning people to the camps
Another fine example of trying to gaslight me to helping the far right, thank you!
Newsom can be a tool — in both senses of the word. But he’s not the leader we need to fix the country. Let him (and his social media director who is doing the heavy lifting) distract Trump while Governors like Walz, Pritzker and Bashear lead the effort to protect *all* their people.
You can't fight fascism by throwing minorities under the bus
I’m married to someone of the same sex. I have no doubt it’ll be annulled in the next year. And if we keep destroying anyone who stands up to the Far Right and Project 2025 taking over America, I have do doubt i’ll be in a camp or jail in 5 years. So it me you accusing me of throwing under the bus
So a shitty governor like Newsom who vetoed multiple bills involving trans people and trans youth is fine? Or a guy who has done nothing to help make this state more affordable to live in? I know it because I live in California. He sucks. I can't wait for Porter.
There are plenty of people standing up to the far right, like AOC, Mamdani and Bernie. Funny how they never get a mention. But the Charlie Kirk agreeing huckster does...
I'm trans. He's throwing trans people under the bus. Sorry that you're another gay man that doesn't give a fuck about trans people, but it's weak as fuck. You should ask for better. Lots of people are standing up to the far right and would be better in that position of power.
I am asking for better for me, for you. Trans kids lives matter. We don’t get there by ignoring the Far Right and attacking allies who don’t fully agree with us. “But her emails…” got us here, you’d think we’d stop falling for the same trap over again.
There are better people then the guy who vetoed two key bills involving trans health care and protecting trans youth. And the guy who gets cozy with the far right on his own podcast.
If you think people disliking Hillary clinton (whether or not because of the ridiculous email scandal) was why we ended up here and not the DNC pushing forward a tone deaf unpopular candidate and refusing to learn any lessons from that i think you've fundamentally misunderstood the problem here
I voted for Clinton and Harris. If Newsom was the Dem candidate for pres, I'd vote for him. Not acknowledging the ways in which he's a bastard, 3 years prior to a presidential election, is just dipshit behavior. You don't hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils until the last minute.
Like all I'm saying is don't preemptively compromise before the negotiation. We have the footing to ask for better right now, and that includes calling balls and strikes. I don't want anything to get worse, and I think newsome is a guy that could maintain the status quo, but I think we need better.
And I'm saying this because I want better for me and you and everyone else. You deserve better. You deserve someone who's going to defend you with their whole chest, and I just don't think he's that guy.
Stop putting people there because they're conveniently already around.
y'all aren't foing to "throw him away" later — he represents every core value of the neoliberal faction of the democratic party. He is the future of the party unless we fight back against his archaic views *now*.
my dumb ass said foing
