If millions of his supporters can hold their nose and vote twice for a felon and fascism I think you can do it to save democracy. Think of the greater good not just yourself.

And what are you willing to sacrifice for it? Your access to healthcare? Your ability to use a public restroom? Your safety? Because that, and so much more, is what you are asking an already marginalized, abused, and scared group to do. F you. Until you back a better candidate, no unity. None!

Sacrifice yourself because otherwise the other guy will treat ME like how I want to treat YOU. Yeah no. She’s right you’re a piece of shit.
"We can be just like them, as long as we win"
Yeah I’m not going under the bus. Choose another candidate that isn’t a total Walsh. Tim Walz has more juice.
Oppose Newsom. Think of the greater good. Insist on better from your team.
So some of us may die but it's a sacrifice you're willing to make? How about you know convince Democratic leaders to not find minorities to throw under the bus out of their sniveling cowardice or lazy unwillingness to stand up and defend us?
Why the fuck can't you fucking troglodytes ever get up your candidate's ass and make THEM change?! Why is it always minorities that have to make the big sacrifice play and not y'all demanding more from the person you want everybody to vote for? Why are you all such fucking cowards???
Better yet, just pick a better candidate to begin with.
Hey, as someone who HAS felt the moral conflict of lesser evil voting, you're still off the mark. Newsom is NOT the Dem nominee. There ISN'T a Dem Nominee AT ALL yet. The MIDTERMS haven't happened yet. Now is the PERFECT time to criticize and hope it results in better options in a primary.
Telling people to hold their nose and vote for the shittiest option NOW, when no official option picking has even HAPPENED yet is ridiculous. Like, if we can't criticize him now, long before he's anywhere near the nomination, then when are we supposed to criticize him?!
If our criticism leads to him actually backing off the idea of throwing us to the wolves or at least saying he'll just leave us alone and focus on other things, it's worth shouting as loud as we can right now. Or maybe we motivate his primary challengers to NOT abandon us at all!
None of his voters held their nose, dickwit. They took one look at that cesspool and dove in head first. None of us should have to hold our nose, either. Equality is a simple fucking request. I've noticed lately that this country can't handle those anymore.
So you’re admitting Newsom is a fascist?
I mean, he's ticking, like, 5 or 6 boxes off the jump, without any deep analysis. ratical.org/ratville/CAH...
Some people did that here in Spain and now we have a terf and a landlord in our government, and we keep on having a racist POS and a lukewarm bunch of people in it, promising that they won't have more relationships with Israel while they keep on selling them weapons and letting them participate in >
> national sports without listening to us 🤷🏻.
Look for "Masacre de Melilla" or "Melilla massacre" on your favourite search engine (TW racism , police brutality ): the person in charge of it is part of one of the Spanish "lesser evil" parties and of our government.
Look for "Ley Mordaza": that same "lesser evil" promised to derogate it, but (as almost always) they broke their promise.
Look for how many weapons have been sold to both Israel and the UAE in this legislature: that's also a job of our "lesser evil", the same as erasing the Q when LGTBIQ appears in official documents, the same as calling those who protested on the no action against Israel by our government "far right".
Ofo
I don't think anyone voting for Trump had to hold their nose to do it, I think they love the smell of raw fascism.
In hindsight I think you’re right. That’s sad.
Hey man why is this the only reply you've responded to?
Because it's the only one not telling him (and people like him) to go fuck themselves because they incapable of critical thinking.
😱
Be advised: I will not be fixing that typo.
Nor should you.
You think he's going to save democracy? Weird. That's actually delusional.
You aren’t saving democracy if you throw groups under the bus. You’re not even stopping the bleeding. You’re achieving an emotional victory and that’s it.
"I demand minorities sacrifice themselves for my own benefit."
The Democratic party could say to the up-and-coming candidates, they are only eligible if they do not embrace any fascism. That includes selling out any marginalized group. Otherwise you're literally asking us to sacrifice ourselves so we can vote for another fascist. Not a Democrat. 🖕🏾
"Why won't you trannies get into the meat grinder to save my straight, cowardly, ass! Why?! WHY!?!? DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE DIE FOR ME!!!!!!!!!"
A fascist wearing a blue tie instead of a red one is still a fascist. Fascism isn’t exclusive to the Republican Party.
"But our fascist is so much better than their fascist!"
Think of how much even greater good we could do with a candidate who doesn't believe human rights are negotiable.
Republicans: Fascism for everyone! Newsom: Freedom and democracy for everyone! Except trans people. They still get fascism. Tell me: why I should want any of you people to have freedom if you have no intention of letting me or anyone I care about be free? Frankly you don't deserve it.
Why are you so desperate to turn this into a trolley problem? Newsom is not, in fact, the nominee for president. There is not even a primary right now. What reason is there to consider that situation right now?&
I'm done voting for Dems who won't defend my rights
telling minorities to sacrifice themselves for you makes you a fucking prick.
Fuck off.
You see, as opposed to republicans with no morals, at least we marginalized ones do have morals, which is why we can't vote for someone like newsom, who's willing and ready to eradicate our existence.
That is what seperates us from republicans, this is, what ANY democratic voter should seperate us from republicans. It is in our duty to protect democracy - which also means its morals. What is a democracy worth dying for, if it eradicates the weakest of us?
Voting for someone who fights against minorities won't save our democracy
The "greater good" does not include sacrificing the human rights of marginalized people. Find someone with a shred of decency to run.
You realize that by repeating this ad nauseum 3 years before an election all you’re doing is propping up a bad candidate right? Why should we have to hold our nose when now is the exact time we should be talking about candidates that don’t require us to “hold our nose”.
We're not even gonna be alive to vote if this keeps up. They're calling for us to all be detained after that shooting.
how about instead you vote for yourself to be tortured and killed to "save democracy" rather than just demanding it of others
"To save Democracy" fucking hell, can you hear yourself, you massive twat?
I think the problem is that he can only hear himself. He can hear the sound of rising panic in his voice as he realizes that If fascism overruns this country completely his life won't be worth a shit. He doesn't give a flying fuck who else he has to throw under the bus to save himself.
