Absolutely a red line.

beth4158.bsky.social•57 days ago

I'm so sorry. There are people with whom perhaps conversations should be had. Charlie Kirk ain't one of 'em.

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•56 days ago

He met with that moon-faced trump rent boy? Good grief! If so, that means Newsom is running for president in '28 -- and this is unlikely to help him.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•56 days ago

Newsom always does himself up to look like he's going to audition for a new Batman villain. That should have been enough to clue us in.

scaramango.bsky.social•56 days ago

Dems should be able to identify losing positions. If your best argument for trans athletes competing in female sports is, "it doesn't happen that often" you've lost the argument

whippoorwont.bsky.social•55 days ago

If it were 60 years ago you'd be making this identical argument about interracial marriage. Just shut up

senorincognito69.bsky.social•55 days ago

nah, you dont have to go six decades back in time, that scumbag is 100% opposing interracial marriage on his twittar account here in the present

scaramango.bsky.social•55 days ago

And also, fuck you a thousand times you fucking piece of human garbage

senorincognito69.bsky.social•55 days ago

goes around "just asking questions" about how much he wants to strip people out of their basic human rights, gets upset when people clock him as a fascist scum stain

scaramango.bsky.social•55 days ago

I'm in an interracial marriage so, doubtful

thembo.bsky.social•55 days ago

What will you say when squishy Dems in 10 years start calling the protection of that a "losing issue" because they've surrendered everything else to the fascists?

senorincognito69.bsky.social•55 days ago

right, just like you have trans friends that think your transphobia is based and redpilled, nO?

scaramango.bsky.social•55 days ago

Do you honestly think that all people who even have questions about this issue are also racists?

whippoorwont.bsky.social•55 days ago

it's crazy that you're out here arguing to exclude anyone else from normal human activity based on public opinion when a majority of americans did not approve of your marriage even 30 years ago. i genuinely hope that you think about that for a while.

scaramango.bsky.social•55 days ago

Do you think that all people who are conflicted on this issue are also irredeemable racists?

whippoorwont.bsky.social•55 days ago

this question makes no sense. you're arguing in favor of dropping trans rights because of public opinion - this same argument also applies to interracial marriage up until 1996

scaramango.bsky.social•55 days ago

You think we would have had the civil rights act pass in 1964 if it had included sexual orientation?

whippoorwont.bsky.social•55 days ago

do you think LBJ should have refused to sign the civil rights act into law if 9% fewer americans had supported it

Profoundly disappointed that the man who stood so proudly for gay marriage is pushing my trans family to the side for power. You don't get to choose between the letters in our family alphabet. He's either with all of us or against us all. 😤

massdisillusion.bsky.social•57 days ago

disqualified. next.

mamavalveeta03.bsky.social•57 days ago

Newsom will never be president.

kceisenberg.bsky.social•57 days ago

Sharing oxygen with Charlie Kirk lost this voter forever.

If your podcast hosts Nazis, it's a Nazi podcast.

cityscribe.bsky.social•57 days ago

It's cynical and evil and dangerous, but also strategically stupid for someone who wants to run against corruption and authoritarianism. I'm thinking you're going to need someone smarter than that.

quirktopia.bsky.social•56 days ago

And just like that, he lost any chance at my vote if we even have elections in 2028.

goldengator.bsky.social•56 days ago

Same here. Lost my vote, lost my monetary support, and lost the many hours I could have devoted to volunteering for him.

I refuse to allow #MAGAs to divide & separate me from supporting my #transgender fam. I’m sure as hell not going to let @gavinnewsom.bsky.social do it.

#LGBTQIA #GavinNewsom

goldengator.bsky.social•56 days ago

I speak as a San Franciscan who married for the 1st time when @gavinnewsom.bsky.social opened the door to #MarriageEquality in #SanFrancisco in 2004.

#GovernorNewsom, I hope you will think carefully about the #LGBTQIA lives you jeopardize when you make such statements in agreement with #MAGA.

goldengator.bsky.social•56 days ago

Because if you think #MAGA will stop with vilifying #transgender people, if you think you can *just throw them* under the bus & curry favor with “conservatives” with no wider consequences, you are naive at best, and selfishly craven at worst.

🤬🤬🤬😪

djarred.bsky.social•56 days ago

My belief is that he is trying to posture closer to the middle, for the sake of gaining some swing votes. Republicans tell their base what they want to hear, then often do otherwise. I would suggest that you judge Newsome by the standard he has set in California and cut him some slack. We need U!

caroloxford.bsky.social•57 days ago

Very disappointing

korndognetty.bsky.social•57 days ago

Almost every one of our politicians have sold us out to religion, big tech and white supremacy. We are on our own. The sooner we find community and fight back the more leverage we’ll have.

autumnlove1.bsky.social•57 days ago

Charlie kirk?!?!??!?!? Wtf Gavin.

vkymshta.bsky.social•56 days ago

🤬😡🤬🥵🤬😡🥵

sonthou.bsky.social•57 days ago

I don’t even understand why Gavin Newsom would give Charlie Kirk an interview.

yourfriendlylurker.bsky.social•57 days ago

It is rational to be pissed off at what looks like an act of betrayal, but the Repubs have gained power by dogmatic messaging and by splintering the media sources people go to for their information.
Trump voters are fed from a single dog bowl. I don't mind sneaking in a few healthy foods.
