I'd love to get close to him but not for the reasons Gavin did.

People like newsom just want to be in the empowered elected majority, that's about it.

13% of children in California live in poverty. That number is far greater than the amount of trans people that actually play sports in college or professionally, much less under 18. Like the priorities are baffling.

Looking forward to all the fights I'm going to have in 2028 when VBNMW Libs insist voting for Newsom is the only path forward to saving Democracy

4thwallguide.bsky.social•2 days ago

Look, you can either let the Democrats cut off your toes or the Republicans cut off your fingers. The choice is simple.

NEVER VOTE RED
NEVER VOTE BLUE
I'M HAPPY TO SAY
I'M NOT INTO THOSE TWO

mirrorman.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've been telling people for a while now, that with only a few exceptions that the GOP and Dems are the same people.

ishigh.lol•2 days ago

the exceptions are there to lure people like us

y2ckt.bsky.social•2 days ago

if only there was a guy in California with the posting power and deal making skill to get under the skin of a powerful politician...

mcnase.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ruling class democrats

cobrollins.bsky.social•2 days ago

before trans people, it was gay people, before that black people, always some type of immigrant... if you yield to the hatred of a particular group of people then you're going to have to keep doing it

piell.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's gay people and black people again, too

jjosh.bsky.social•2 days ago

what an awesome "opposition" party

rhisugarbaker.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s about their power
Not about the people or doing what’s right

potato-doritos.bsky.social•2 days ago

Newsom already IS that guy. California is its own little empire

sigill.bsky.social•2 days ago

Bzzzt wrongo. Three days ago senate Democrats killed the GOP trans sports ban by unanimously voting against it. The house version of the bill had 2 D yeas and 206 nays.

milwaukeeclintonv.bsky.social•2 days ago

this loser and the rest of the nihilists on the online left care about nothing except lying about Democrats.

helldude.bsky.social•2 days ago

your average democrat does not have major policy differences with your average republican, hence the bipartisan norms, reach across the aisle blablabla. everyone being like "why can't the dems learn to be dirty like the other guys" well. lol

russbengtson.bsky.social•2 days ago

they believe the exact same shit the sole difference is they realize they should feel a little bad about it

cliff.leaninto.it•2 days ago

They certainly don't have a problem with dirty tricks when it comes to knee-capping progressives

helldude.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's going to be amazing when the only lesson most of the democrat establishment learns is they can be as racist and sexist and transphobic as they want now while still working to ensure no material benefits get delivered to their constituents and are saved for their donors

pumpkinpal.bsky.social•2 days ago

So we're about 3 hours away from "we democrats have always been anti trans athletes, it's bad faith sabotage to claim we ever had a different position" hits the blue wave hivemind? 2? It's probably already been happening overnight?

bonenberger.bsky.social•2 days ago

Some of these people truly hate having to pretend to have norms and secretly envy their country club Republican counterparts who are unencumbered by such millstones as “not being able to say the n word out loud” and “having to pretend to empathize with the weak and downtrodden”

helldude.bsky.social•2 days ago

be honest: what percentage of elected democrats do you think are secretly pretty excited to be well positioned to scoop up table scraps in the current kleptocratic smash and grab operation

jurisdudence.bsky.social•2 days ago

25%-40%

jurisdudence.bsky.social•2 days ago

National electeds, not state/local.

sorrydave.bsky.social•2 days ago

North of 90%.

oldpappythomas.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean from a policy perspective it's been clear for years their big issues with Big Don are 1. He says the quiet parts put loud and 2. He's crass. If he was a bloodless Mitt Romney dork they'd be falling all over themselves to bipartisanly vote for his stuff. Even more than they already are.

messyjess.bsky.social•2 days ago

You’re probably being rhetorical but at least 80%

helldude.bsky.social•2 days ago

its been conclusively proven over the past couple years that virtually no democrat gives a fuck about palestinians or really any of us muslims or arabs. same for our trans neighbors. they rolled over on immigrants. but sure maybe they really do care about women or something! let's see

iamnotdannyboy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump spent 200 mil on a national anti trans ad that played during the World Series and the Dems did not bother to countenance a defense because it did not test well in focus groups. It's not just that they don't care. They are also beholden to polls and focus groups and donors. It fucking blows.

mooshywoosh.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep, watching them both shout “you don’t care about marginalized ppl” if you didn’t vote for their girlboss and “well trans & marginalized rights just aren’t a priority when we’re all facing fascism” 🙄 really shows how performative their concern is. Protecting their privilege is all they gaf about

simplyjack.bsky.social•2 days ago

Any day now they’re gonna do something about abortion

seanbhecht.bsky.social•2 days ago

States with Democratic Party political control generally have legislated access to abortion, while states run by Republicans have legislated the opposite. In practice, residents of Dem states have way more actual access to abortion. It’s not close.

potter4ever.bsky.social•2 days ago

Democrats have been rolling over since Reagan. The Clintons destroyed the Dems by accepting Reagan's frame.

They sang on the Capitol steps when Roe was overturned

I have known what I meant to them since that day

granddad.bsky.social•2 days ago

lol they watched the police murder black people daily and said "damn, the police need more money" Ain't nobody left

lobsterdog.bsky.social•2 days ago

97.4% roughly

aluminumcuffs.bsky.social•2 days ago

60-80%

chilibone.bsky.social•2 days ago

like 95% conservatively

Pelosi's hiring another broker specifically to manage the slough of insider trading coming up

wagyuhotdog.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s hack to quote George Carlin in 2025 but “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it” has always been true.

cliff.leaninto.it•2 days ago

The actions of the democratic party only start to make sense when you think of it like a labor union for the political class instead of a ideologically driven political party

allhailmogambo.bsky.social•2 days ago

i tend to think of them as a fundraising operation

patrikharnes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Country club politics.

gepgun.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's not hack to reiterate the thing that people will do anything including retreating into elaborate conspiracy constructs to deny

serious-adult.bsky.social•2 days ago

inspiring and brave to work across the aisle and build the important bipartisan consensus around rich people giving them lots of money. i applaud our courageous legislators.

comradesheridan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Chauvinism is an easy code switch for milquetoast (neo)liberals

theinvisible-man.bsky.social•2 days ago

this is him signaling he’s running in 2028 of he gets the chance

sascrotch.bsky.social•2 days ago

They want the right to love them even though the right is already completely in love with someone else.

heddveeg.bsky.social•2 days ago

He wants to be the democratic nominee so bad and he's going to lose so bad

snackalgorithm.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is just pathetic.
Imagine letting this baby-toothed freak roll you over like this.

saddestrobots.bsky.social•2 days ago

if charlie kirk "challenges" you the only correct response is to yell "i'm standing my ground!" and shoot him in the face

glocks4interns.bsky.social•2 days ago

saddestrobots.bsky.social•2 days ago

imagine wasting an opportunity like that

someone needs to ask him why his face keeps shrinking but his head keeps embiggening

jasonskiles.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's always been a soulless, calculating, third-way asshole. He will say or be anything to win.

1sjes.bsky.social•2 days ago

*they are these guys

riggsveda.bsky.social•2 days ago

Newsom showed who he was when he thought it made him a Big Man In Politics to personally go to LA and throw away the belongings of people who had literally nothing, in his war on homelessness. The optics of that cruelty was stunning. There’s nothing we shouldn’t put past him.

waluigiyaoi.bsky.social•2 days ago

I genuinely think that was a text book photo moment for the current era

floatingcoffn.bsky.social•2 days ago

They use issues like this to steal our power. I have a trans daughter and we both agree its inappropriate to have trans woman playing women's sports. Keep fighting this battle as they steal everything from under our feet. Progressive economics are a winner. Identity politics are a loser.

reginasrand.bsky.social•2 days ago

I was just gonna skeet at Newsom but he hasn't been active here since July 2023. Lol, lmao even
