    I don’t care about the culture war puppet show. I’ll vote for whoever can get the nazi pedos out of office.

      Throwing trans people under the bus isn’t going to get the Republicans out of office. The Democrats in NC who caved on trans rights just got walloped in the primaries. Even if you don’t care about trans rights (and I think we should all care), trying to chase the mythical moderate like this is not an effective strategy to getting elected.

      OK, well that ain’t Newsom. He may win the primary if we’re unlucky but there’s no way he’s winning the general without turning out the whole Democratic party, and this transphobic nonsense he chose to engage in has made sure that won’t happen.

      Fortunately, there’s still plenty of time to rally around a different nominee

      Except his backsliding on liberal issues should be a sign he’s another Manchin, Sinema, or Fetterman and he’ll royally fuck us over when it hurts the most.

      Same, but it’s telling how the neo-liberal candidate is ignoring both the culture war and the class war.
