Ok, and if Newsom gets into office somehow, your kid will very likely be prevented from having that medication. Newsom "aligns completely" with Charlie fucking Kirk on Trans issues. So you actually can't afford NOT to take Parker's position

Newsom would take your kid's medication away and force him into segregation.

Again: Pritzker, Walz, etc, etc are options. Why is Newsom being annointed "The Only One" by so many people? Newsom is not the only guy, CA is not the only state with a Gov who's "doing something," the primary is a long ways off, & working to ensure someone else wins that nomination is 100% fair!

Your logic seems entirely backwards. The best way to protect trans medicine is to elect someone who is not an anti-trans bigot platforming some of the most evil christofascists in the country. Electing Newsom is like voting against your trans kid. At least that is how I view it.

How will voting for the man who wants to ban trans healthcare for anyone under 25 accomplish this?

He won’t. We won’t all become mute after he is elected.

So you think you will have more sway over him once he no longer needs your vote and is already in power? You think your negotiation position improves? You think that he will care more about what you say after he has no need for your vote?

When someone tells you who they are, you should listen before you give them power.

So you'll be able to call him and asshole while he does it then? This is just the "We can push Biden" argument again and we all saw how poorly that went, it doesnt work.

We could and we did and things were better.

Things might have been better for you personally but you couldn't and you didn’t and he facilitated a genocide.

Newsom’s anti-trans & anti-homeless now. Whatever group’s convenient to scapegoat next, he’s shown he’ll do it. He courts the Right on their terms, which, besides being a losing strategy for a Dem, makes him insufficiently anti-Fascist.

I'm trans. Stop using your kid, if he exists, as a shield. I need my medication, too!

You're not the fucking Lorax of trans kids' parents, asshole
