I can already hear the vote blue no matter who people in 2027/8 calling me a Russian shill for pointing out he abandoned trans people the second it became politically expedient 🫠 Or if I’m really lucky, arguing with me over how abandoning trans people is actually necessary or not happening or whatever else.
That was definitely a red line for me, too. I gave him credit for being incredibly vocal about equal marriage in 2004, way ahead of other politicians, but something seems to have drastically changed and moved him to the right.

The centrists are already deep in that territory. They’ve always wanted to trade sexual/gender minorities for more conservatives. Harris shitting the bed is just the convenient excuse.
Why did you take this as an invitation to start 2 years early?
Why do you think this isn’t something any given trans person has already thought about?
Are you volunteering to help keep him off the ballot, or do you just want to yell at me for pointing out the ways he fucks over my community specifically?
Right now nobody is on the ballot because the primaries don’t happen until 2027.
People are talking about Newsom making a presidential run because it’s extremely obvious he’s gearing up for a run, and part of the way he’s doing that is by dumping ‘controversial’ trans rights in order to court centrists and Republicans. Another is by signaling to big businesses (like electrical companies) that he’s going to work for them, and not citizens.
You can help keep him off the ballot by telling everyone who talks about him what a shithead he is, and how he will trample over anyone to chase lobbyist money.

when our politics are shaped by who we’re voting against because our parties refuse to give us anyone to vote for

Is the republican any better? How easy is it to replace him as the Democratic candidate?

I’m just a European trying to figure out what the options are…

Three and a half years away and here we go again already. Trump wins a third term because newsom doesn’t want trans people to play sports.
Ikr, how do you get a big enough group of people to vote third party, and how do you confirm that party isnt a siphon for the republicans…
