We're not shitting on everyone. We're shitting on a specific person who's spent the last 6 months going on a right wing media tour reaffirming right wing propaganda and laundering it to Dem audiences.

Answer the question Jess. You said we dont need Newsom. So tell me what the plan is for the midterms then.

Your premise is flawed. I don't see Newsom helping in the midterms. I see him alienating wide swaths of Democrat voters.

And you think us lowly trannies calling out his bigotry is going to change that? He's made it abundantly clear he doesn't give a fuck what we think and wants to go ahead with removing the rights of trans adults. What you're pissed off about is that we dare to speak poorly of this asshole you adore.

Jess, I am discussing Newsom as a purely transactional figure that can help turn the tides so we can stop the fascism. Until you can present me an actual plan that doesn't involve Newsom that will allow the Dems and progressives to gain more power in upcoming midterms, this conversation is over.

Newsom is a transactional figure who's actively laundering Trump and Co's $260billion in propaganda against trans people. You can't beat fascism by elevating figures going on media tours insisting that the fascists have a point. The transaction going on here is working in the fascists' favor.

Unfortunately, he is actually very popular among the Dem base, and would likely claim the independents that Harris couldn’t corral in 2024. Doesnt make his policies correct, but he is a popular figure.
