Sure, but Actually Existing Newsom sure won't

“He has to do X Y and Z to earn my vote”, is fair. “He won’t earn my vote no way no how” means he could sign a million pro trans bills in the next year and a half and you still refuse to vote for him. That’s not on.

Actually existing Newsom presides over one of the most pro-trans states in the US.

and it's noteworthy how uncomfortable he is about that fact

Maybe it’s the inability to link up statements on a topic with the reality of the topic that is why the US just did all this

This is like obsessing about Obama being against gay marriage.

Unfortunately this is a situation where the majority viewpoint hasn’t been established as “it’s fine, who cares?” and as long as the media isn’t changing that, statements are going to be the image in the minds of voters. Meanwhile actions in CA and common sense says Dems are the only choice on this

Scott wiener, Matt Haney, Matt Dorsey, Robert Garcia, Alex Padilla, Adam Schiff, and others can be vocal on trans rights to nudge Newsom in that direction. PRESSURE is a better game than cancellation when we’re three years out is all I’m saying.

The failure to understand why politicians say things is more concerning. Well not even that they don’t understand, it’s that they’re willing to use it as an excuse and then pretend that “well the Dem said it, so they must be the same as repubs on this” means they can sit out with a clear conscience

Newsom made a CHOICE to hook up with Kimberly G and to raise a son who’s into RW podcasters like Charlie Kirk and to invite Charlie Kirk onto HIS podcast. Those were objectively bad choices that most Democrats do NOT make.

For the millionth time, the WORST Dem is better for whatever issue you want to come up with than the best Repub. You figure out if you want another 4 years of Repubs making sure it lasts 50 just because you don’t think he’s saintly enough
