Yeah, the whole Liz Cheney thing didn’t work out for Kamala at all. Oh well. I really don’t know what we should do. It feels hopeless.

I dont want to throw trans people under the bus. I want to protect them by coalition building and creating a bigger tent. We cannot win elections without more people. yelling at me or anyone else alienates people from the party and helps maga win. They actually want to hurt trans people. Not me

I’m sorry you think that. I might be a bigot and not realize it. I do want people to have equal freedoms and liberties. If your goal was convince me I don’t think calling me names or saying I’m mean is effective. Maybe we should try again to coalition build?

I agree with you. I do think it’s exploited. I also think that if it’s such a small percent.

What’s the story?

The more I think about it, I think he did it to make a splash and get people talking about his show. I think it worked because so many people are talking about it

I think most people agree with newsom. If you poll people, most people don’t want trans women in sports. I personally agree and think if it upsets this many people, we should go let it go as a party.

Ok, fair. I did have to look him up. Have you read Chris Hayes book about the attention economy? I think about it a lot in this context and it seems like newsom did this to get everyone talking. If he interviewed someone from the left, no one would be talking about it. So he gets free publicity.

I’m sure he will- this is episode 1 and I’m sure he wanted to get everyone’s attention… which he did and that was the point

I will literally never understand. Perfect example was the Gaza conflict.

Hey, he’s getting attention. Hate to say it but that’s how you get ahead in this ecosystem. I think this is probably what he actually thinks. If it is, he should stand behind it in the future.

It’s is pretty similar, no? Isn’t the assembly like congress? Thanks though. This is super helpful! I appreciate the information.

I LOVE Pete. He’s the best

Democrats are also terrible messengers and horrible marketers. I take it as a good sign for newsom that so many democrats are disgusted. 🫠🫠 at the end of the day- those people will vote for him, he needs new people tho. Our party is losing.

But there is a huge swath of people who aren’t like that or are misinformed. I think newsom is trying to break through and persuade people of our ideas in a non-combative way. I do not think we should change the pillars of our party at all.

Thanks terry. I think there are sadly a lot of toxic purist who would rather let the right win than compromise in Thier own party. I’m not supporting a nazi. I would never, I just think what newsom is doing is smart if he wants to run for president/

But doesn’t each state have its own congress with state senators and state reps? And aren’t the rolls the same as the federal gov.

Hmmm, I can only say that he’s not actually in charge of the budget. I know that is cold comfort, I just don’t think it’s the governors fault. He’s more the message man. Congress holds the purse/sets the budget. What can he really do except vetos and executive orders (which are worthless)

Just in terms of getting things built. I think when you say regulations people immediately think environmental and I’m not really talking about that in San Francisco. Our regulation issues are more nimby/planning based. It takes forever and the rules are never cut and dry.

I think you’re on the wrong site. This is blue sky not x. If you want to be mean, maybe you should go back there? Sorry we have different opinions.

I like him…but sometimes I feel like that’s rare

Our problem is the regulations. There’s really nothing he can do. It’s absolutely out of control here and I’m liberal

I think he’s talking to someone in hopes that his supporters listen and think maybe Newsom is ok. I’m going to listen. I’m pretty curious.

Errrrr, what do you even mean? I think newsom is exactly what the party needs. We can’t just throw up our hands in disgust with people. We need to form a bigger coalition. We are losing. That’s what newsom is doing. Newsom was my mayor and is my gov. He’s been good in a lot of ways.

Why do we only have two parties? We need to break up our two party system. We need a viable third party in the center that actually embodies common sense politics.

I mean…maybe he should bring along a person like aoc or someone younger to carry his torch. He’s too old!

I’m beginning to think musk might not be smart. This has me very worried

But he’s going to give everybody 5k check (and somehow all blue state resident checks will be lost in the mail)

You know the saying, work smarter and not harder? I think I’d like a little more smarter and little less harder. The 30 hour filibuster is useless and it barely gets any media attention. Maybe they need to take all that time and figure out a better way to break through to Americans.

Just to be clear- everyone else would pay the same amount but just get less for it. Cool

I think the judge has a lot of sound points. It doesn’t mean I’m not scared or worried or hate what’s happening. But I think she’s saying that congress is the check here and they’re not doing their job.
