I can't wait for Newsom to not be President. Get behind someone who actually cares about the transgender community like Walz or Pritzker.

There’s also Chris Murphy and I’d also like to see Elizabeth Warren take another run except she would be almost 80 so that’s probably not possible. It’s great to see Newsom so effective taking on the right on social media spaces though, other Dems need to learn from him and Mamdani on that subject

I need to hear him recant the shit he was saying and agreeing with right-influencers on, fully deep-throated, and then back it up with actions to consider Newsom at all.

Agree. While I absolutely love what’s he’s doing on twitter I don’t think newsom should be the Dem candidate or the face of the party. Fortunately there’s plenty of time for other voices to shine before the 2028 primary season.

This has been another great example of how easy it is to expose transphobia and how easily moderates and most dems will abandon my community by pointing out that the person they are rallying behind because he's making a show of fighting back is a raging transphobe. It's so easy to support us.

Sister, lots of us are steadfastly behind you. We’re just not loud and it’s only 2025. We worry more about midterms. I’ll cheer Newsom irritating Trump but his record on trans rights and the homeless are nonstarters. “Good enough” isn’t good enough and he’s a politician. We need a leader.

Ok, fair, you did not specifically say Newsom, and I hope you support your Gov over him. The impression I got from your comment is that if we don't support Newsom we don't have a Democracy, like there aren't better options (like your Gov), because that's the same thing everyone else has said here.

The classic doctrine of the fall of mankind tells us that we all have a shitty side to our souls now. It's willingness to embrace redemption that matters, and Pritzker seems to be better at it than Newsom at this juncture.
