so you're saying if fewer people left the coalition in Michigan, Bibi wouldn't be invading Gaza City? that's gotta be the biggest own goal in the history of politics.

Please, let’s stop pretending as though Harris ever had the slightest intention of anything beyond continuing Biden’s policy of stern finger-wagging when it came to Netanyahu lmao. It can hardly be considered an own-goal when their fellow Muslims were already being bombed to shit by ‘our guy’

so you're saying stern finger wagging is no better than we have now? this is why people of color don't trust leftists.

For the people who were murdered in Rafah when it got bombed to shit—well after Biden laid the area out as his supposed ‘red line’—no, I’d say they probably wouldn’t have taken much solace in the fact that the guy who enabled their murderer got pouty about it instead of openly cheering it on.

And the fact that you seem to believe I’m somehow blind to the atrocities our current administration is enacting against marginalized communities purely because I simultaneously recognize how their predecessors laid the groundwork for this shit is disappointing to hear.

Half of my issue with these wishy-washy stances on trans rights from people like Newsom is because it establishes a precedent to the opposition, that there is a line of argument by which they can make Democrats agree that universal human rights are not actually universal

That's valid. And don't get me wrong, I'm watching him for further signs of weakness. But the history of gaining rights is long and inconsistent. he'll have to decide if UCLA is going to give up $1B in grant money in exchange for continuing Trans care. This affects all of LA because

UCLA med center is a major hospital. If he folds, hit me up because I'll literally apologize.

Look, I get where you’re coming from, and I’m not trying to say you specifically are a bad person for looking after your community. My point is that when we still have a full 2-3 years before this guy even has a chance at putting his hat in the presidential ring like he so clearly wants to (1/2)

Then now is precisely the time for the people who determine if he gets that chance to be telling him “you need to stop fucking around and using the basic human rights of people in our tent as playing cards with people who literally want us dead and have no interest in meeting halfway.”

I’m fully aware of my privileged position in this situation, which is why I don’t fault any persons of color for not wanting to even chance this dude staying in power another four years. But I hope you can understand that right now trans people don’t even have that guarantee under Democrats.

ya we become inured to people who are like when your guy does it, it's bad, but when our guy does it, it's okay. fundamentally that's why leftists are giving Trump a pass.

What about my position is possibly telling you that I’ve chosen to give Trump and his party of ghouls a pass? My fundamental issue with Newsom is literally that he’s choosing to collaborate with the people I actively despise.

If he told people like Charlie Kirk to eat shit and kick rocks I would have infinitely more respect for what he’s doing, because Kirk and his fellows have zero interest in anything but wasting our time by forcing us to engage with them.

Yeah that was a dumb one, but the voters spoke and they spoke loudly. He can't do anything for anyone's rights if he can't stay in the game.

So did I man, and all we’ve got to show for it is Democrats publicly stating that maybe bigotry isn’t always incorrect in 2025.
