Aww, man. Ya got me. Sonuva buck, you figured me out. You rascal.

Bro all you do is whine about ”purity tests” while sniffing around for angle to jettison trans people. You *want* to be a dick to trans people, you want to vote for a transphobe, and you try to shame and bully people into voting for a guy who is actively trying to kill trans (and unhoused) people

My job as a person is to protect those with less power than me. We don’t do that by trading some people’s rights to fascists. Rights and dignity are not zero sum You being a bully is not going to change my values. All I see is a desperate man lashing out at decent people for doing our jobs

I apologize if I come across as a bully. It is far from my intention. I’m defending my beliefs. Same as you are doing. Vote or don’t vote as you wish. Just don’t ask me to withhold my vote if your agenda isn’t met 100%

You keep using the word agenda like you think I don’t know that you’re dog whistling “the trans agenda” like some 4chan weirdo The “agenda” is just people trying to figure out how to live in a very hostile world

Hot tip: EVERYONE is trying to figure out how to live in a very hostile world.

As I’ve made clear, I don’t want to vote for a transphobe. If Newsom is the general nominee, then I’d settle for him over a Republican and regression. You want me to abandon all of my other principles if one policy I support isn’t met by the eventual nominee.

That’s funny, all my other principles stem from the belief that intrinsically all people are entitled to the same rights, not just the few who are deemed worthy at whatever given political moment. If the DNC decides to put forth a candidate who does not share that value, i will not vote for them

And that’s your right. But don’t act like you give a fuck about any other marginalized groups if you’re willing to sacrifice them for your personal benefit. That’s the same thing you’re accusing me of doing. Pot 🤝 Kettle

Oh man you wish so bad that you were right, to absolve yourself for you guilt or something? Nah man, we’re not the same… but you can get there if you grow a soul and a spine 👍

I have no guilt to absolve in this matter. I’m not the one willing to make ALL people suffer. You are. Hopefully, you can live with that guilt if it comes down to it. And I hope it doesn’t. But I know I can live with my choices because they don’t involve abandoning EVERYONE for my self interests.

Oh ok you only want to sacrifice people you think are lesser, just like Dems told us all we had to sacrifice Palestinians to Joe Biden's bigoted cassock-sniffer Zionist bloodlust

Haha keep trying to justify your eager willingness to bargain away the rights of some vulnerable people to save your own quality of life, you sociopath!

If you’re going to be a manipulative narcissist, at least spice it up a little bit

Also I’m not trans, I’m a old cis dad in Seattle who cares enough about my neighbors that I would NEVER VOTE FOR GAVIN NEWSOM - even though that might not be in my immediate best interests Because I know whose side I’m on and what my values are. If the DNC did too, it would reign for 1000 years

This was all based on a hypothetical. In this hypothetical, I’m not willing to abandon ALL people should Newsom win the nomination. You clearly are. That’s fine. We can disagree. It’s your choice to abandon your other “values” if one is not met. But don’t call yourself an ally.

If you got your ass beat for saying these things I wouldn't help you fyi

You're not going to defeat Fascism by throwing minorities under the bus. Universal rights are universal or they're nothing at all. Solidarity.

You’re also not going to defeat fascism by allowing Republicans to remain in power. Refusing to vote for an imperfect Democrat supports the ongoing Republican efforts to implement fascism here and abroad.

Anyways you’re not going to defeat Republicans by running Gavin Newsom and you’ve been given 3 years warning. If you really care about winning the election you’ll tell everyone you meet to not support Gavin

If I was worried about not having a Republican in power then why would I vote for Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law’s ex-husband? Why are my only two choices a-1980s style Republican or an oranger 1980s style Republican

You're not going to defeat it by voting for other people who are also funded by the same fascist oligarchs. We don't care whether fascists wear blue or red we're not going to support them. Time to choose someone who isn't fascist and who doesn't accept funds from oligarchs.
