Red lines are bullshit. In the primary, you back your candidate. In the general, you back the party candidate even if they're not your pick, because everyone in the other party is worse.

Nope. Deal with it and choose better candidates.

Exactly what I just said, choose better candidates in the primary. But in the general, you back the party, or the other crew, the ICE guys, the torture folks, the end Roe people, the coming after gay marriage next party, they win. Like Trump just did when Dems stayed home.

Nope. I won’t back a candidate that hands me over to die. I’ll take all of you with me.

I’m not sure how many times the Dems need to touch this stove before they learn but I’m happy to watch the party die in a fire if they won’t stop. In fact, I’ll vote for Trump.

If you can't do the bare minimum of promising to let Trans people live their lives and get healthcare then you won't get our votes. What's the point of stopping Trump if we get a repeat of labor stabbing trans people in the back? We die either way. So back a better candidate

Instead of trying to demand three years in advance for support that runs only one way. That’s ludicrous. Who would you ever convince that way?

The Dems have become so fucking decadent that they feel entitled to votes by virtue of not being Republicans, and that’s the exact Overton window ratchet that got us Trump… TWICE!!

Since you don't live here you may not know this, but the primary comes *before* the general election. Which is why we're opposing Newsom. For the primary election. That is years from now.

Right. And we’re saying, so that this will be taken into account, that Newsom will not only lose the general election anyway, but we won’t vote for him if he’s the nominee.
