Get fucked you low imagination dimwit

"our choices" include focusing on the autogolpe going on right now and not pontificating about 2028. why are you pushing 2028 Dem candidates when it seems clear that we won't have elections in 2028? how about you pat Newsom on the head for being mean to Trump and go about your business?

Perfectly stated. TY.

ok so stop taking swipes at people who oppose Newsom for 2028 because 2028 is literally years away. there is no reason to be giving this conversation life right now.

shut up, Susan

Can you really not understand that for a queer person a democrat like Newsom is functionally not different from a republican?

Pritzker? Moore? AOC? Beto? Beshear?

You only need one alternative, and there are plenty of people who don't think that Trans people deserve to be exterminated like Newsom does.

You could just nominate someone who isn’t awful, but sure, nominating the worst possible candidate, refusing to compromise on anything then moaning at people who don’t support them has worked brilliantly in the past.

He isn't the candidate. He won't be the candidate.

We have good choices, Newsom isn't one of them. You tell me criticizing Newsom now is electing Trump in 2028? Supporting Newsom now is going to end in another R president because Newsom's not the guy to win. He's gross. He does not have what it takes.

fuck you

Why do you hate trans people?

We are less than one year removed from the last election. What could you possibly mean “our choices seem slim”? Do you mean “we have a limited number of viable candidates”? If that’s the case, that’s why we are sounding the alarm so early and so loudly that Newsom is *inviable*

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Limited choices.

Right, and if we all recognize that Gavin Newsom is a brazen opportunist and is shaping up to be as anti-trans as they come, we can cross him off of the list. It’s not hard! It only becomes hard if you and folks like you decide you *really* want him anyway.

There are THREE years to decide. Both Pritzker and Walz are doing a great job standing up to the administration. Newsom's just grabbing headlines right now. That doesn't make him the inevitable nominee. Let's keep looking & not settle.

There are multiple other potential candidates, two of them definitely much stronger than Newsom, who are much, much better.

Stfu boomer

Susan explain to the class why some people deserve more rights than others.

You are a Democrat who thinks there’s only one Democrat to vote for in the entire US of A?

I actually don’t think there’s any right now. I think they all suck but whoever they nominate, I’m gonna vote for.

So why fight with someone who says Newsom sucks? Let us all vow to vote for the least sucky in the primary!

The choices right now, three fucking years before the election, are virtually endless. We haven't even had a goddamn primary yet. There is no need to commit to anyone in 20-fucking-25.

Jesus christ we haven't even reached the midterms yet! Our choices haven't materialized! Are you all babies lacking object permanence? Look at the "frontrunner" of any primary in any presidential primary over 3 years before an election and find one that became president. I get the despair but fuck.

Pritzker is RIGHT THERE

Pritzker, Beshear, AOC, Walz... Just to name some better options off the top of the head.

I swear you all are like baby birds who imprint on the first thing that looks like a mommy or a daddy.

saying choices are slim 3 years before an election, and accepting whatever slop politician we get, is peak liberal

Newsom agrees with MAGA about our rights. Nominating him means joining MAGA in attacking us. bsky.app/profile/lady...

Dog, why are you preemptively crowning Newsom the primary winner with 3 years remaining?

I’m not.

there are like 70 dem governors and senators, without getting to the House or people outside those three elected offices

i checked and it's exactly 70, plus sanders and king. trans people are almost universally saying that one of those 70 people who is clearly making big moves to run literally years before the election would make our lives materially worse and set us back. we have 2.5 years to find someone better

We are 3 years away Susan. Don’t say some dumb bullshit. Have the balls to say you don’t care about actually doing anything good. Just say you don’t stand for anything. Don’t give us this weak shit. Have conviction in your lack of conviction.

There were over 2 dozen democratic presidential nominees for 2020. The choices aren’t slim, your imagination and memory are limited

1. Pritzker and Beshear are right there and you’re like we have to go with one guy years before the primaries start is objectively idiotic and unhelpful 2. Telling a trans person they have to accept transphobia from Dem leaders is disgusting and I hope you eventually feel deep shame for it

I’m not saying we HAVE to go with him. Ugh.

Yes you are

You are, there is literally no other reason to say “go with the Republican.” Unless of course you were arguing in completely bad faith and just wanted to be transphobic.

Want every Republican voted out. And many Dems.

So you should be completely fine with people criticizing shitty Dems like Newsom. But for SOME reason you decided to post that nonsense 🧐

Likely both. Old libs really want to blame 2024 on trans ppl and not their candidate putting her whole wait behind a genocide

Weight*

Except you did. You absolutely did.

there’s plenty of democrats actually doing stuff! Pritzker, Van Hollen. We don’t have to commit ourselves to a transphobe who hates the homeless three years out

It’s literally 2025. The election, should we have it, is years away, with a midterm in the middle. If we don’t find someone better in that time, then maybe we deserve to lose.

How useless is the Democratic Party that they apparently only have Gavin Newsome, one guy (no backups) capable of fighting fascism?

Finally found the Bonge no one wants to hit

it’s 2025 lol are you all for real with this bullshit? we have lots of choices and three years to nail someone down jfc

you must be really boring in restaurants, just ordering whatever you first see on the menu

The first primary is not for 30 months. We have time to find someone better.

Fuck you

Can you boomerlibs just die off already?

Why? There’s Pritzker, there’s Beshear. There’s Walz. All better than Newdom

*Newsom*

More like "NewSCUM"... 😏

It's 3 years before the election, either you're an idiot or you're getting paid for this

We literally have several years to find a different person. Years. We haven’t even *voted* on him yet. He’s not even officially running yet. We can do better, must do better, and the Primary is one of the only real choices we have the ability to be picky in. So be picky.

Liberals complying in advance once again

Based on what’s happened in the UK we’d legitimately be better off with a Republican

What are you TALKING about? The next presidential election (assuming it happens...) is more than THREE YEARS AWAY! We literally have all the choices in the world. At this point in the 2008 Presidential cycle most people had no idea who Barack Obama was.

have some fucking self respect

Gavin Bateman is a Republican

And we should demand better from the milquetoast democratic party that caused this nightmare. They KNEW running Biden in 2024 was going to be an issue during the 2020 campaign and didn't do a damn thing to prepare. They had 4 damn years and did NOTHING. Grow up, Susan.

what's wrong with pritzker? you anti-Semitic? I can play this game too

Love Pritzker

so why go so hard for a guy whos obviously dividing the dem base 3 years out that you'll scold strangers over it? maybe he's just a bad candidate and not The Guy For The Moment

The election is THREE YEARS away! Stop insisting that trans people choose between two candidates who hate them and instead insist that Democrats find a better candidate. They have plenty of time.
