There won’t be any democrats in office unless they start pulling some of the voters away from the right. The far left has proven they rather stay at home than vote for a candidate that doesn’t check all their boxes. Even if the alternative is literally their nightmares come true.
Sorry I took your response as an indictment of left politics, as if exemplified in this liberal. Please still call the suicide hotline if you feel the need
After Newsom became SF mayor, he discovered that the city was giving homeless folks $600 cash payments every month--and afterwards, the ERs were filled with ODs. He had a lot of data about this. So he got the city to use the money for housing and services instead. The far left called him a nazi.
Dangerous how? My daughter plays against boys and girls - and beats them all. I met my husband when we played on the same ice hockey team. The idea that we can’t all compete together is stupid and misogynistic. Trans athletes are such a tiny proportion of athletes. Let them play!
Did you try out for the girls volleyball team and get cut? I can feel the searing pain of social castration via: "being someone that''s anti social and mean to people beneath their extremely minimal social status, but still wants to be friends with them, until my intolerance pushes me out entirely"
Fairness is completely irrelevant here. This is about establishing a precedent they can use to push trans people further and further out of public life. If you honestly believe any prominent Republican cares about women's sports beyond it's use as a cudgel I have a bridge to sell you.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social dude have u been hit in the head repeatedly with a baseball bat? Beyond the whole picking on a microscopic portion of the population for self gain thing, u really have to be an egocentric chud to think that’s a good name for a podcast lmao you pathetic shit sack smh
I’m a lifelong Democrat. A pretty liberal guy, but trans women should not compete against natural women in sports. Most people agree with Governor Newsome.
He's made the common sense decision that a handful of trans people should not triumph over millions of Americans. I'm liberal but passing laws that punish millions over a dude in a dress is pissing people off. Do what you want but stop cramming it down my throat! Love that Newsom spoke common sense!
Interesting to me that people are having such a hard time with balancing the rights of teen girls and trans girls. MAGA wants to obliterate the existence and rights of trans people. That isn't what Newsome is saying, at all. We need nuance to address complex challenges, not just go to our corners.
I'd rather have Dems in office to get protections codified. How is having Republican regimes going to solve THAT problem? Progressives destroy progress for perfection they don't have the votes to cover. We saw how easily the MAJORITY, albeit 1.2%, were duped by transgender fear mongering lies.
Get your head checked out. Screaming impotently from the sidelines must be your favorite place for irresponsible behavior. And I'm FOR full human right protections, you fucking loon.
It’s really not that fucking complex lmao the number of trans athletes playing sports in HS and college in the US is so small that most of the country would never even have a single thought about the topic if it wasn’t for conservative media talking about it 24-7. Sports aren’t real, let them play.
And btw i played D1 baseball, i love sports. But i love sports BECAUSE they teach you the lesson that life’s not fair. You’re gonna get bad calls. You’re gonna face people with unfair advantages. You’re gonna get your ass beat. If my child whined about fairness like that I’d be embarrassed.

The amount of people in these comments decrying “men in dresses” playing in women’s sports and their “lack of common sense”… Jesus Christ… trans folks make up <1% of the population and yet this issue takes up 99% of the time. WHY? Because of DISCRIMINATION! It’s not common sense, it’s cruelty.
Rat fucking bastard (RFB RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB) Rat Fucking Bastard. Not upset, I'm not a Cali resident. This is just how I hope liberals may get the message.
GAVIN: "DAMN, the leftists are too outspoken on their views--the ones I keep hidden and guard until the opportune moment. THOSE people are the issue, making their voices heard and votes count. Better to be seen and not heard--but BEST to be seen AND heard: Fuck homeless people, fuck the trans"
He’s a clever politician. Not using politician as a pejorative. The country is going to need more of those to fight against authoritarianism. Ask yourself: Who would you have “sacrificed” before WW2 if it meant that you could have stopped Hitler?

It’s just so easy-breezy to punch down on people with ZERO POWER. Not the behavior I want to see in an elected official of any political persuasion. I despair.
Here we go again: Newsom ticks all the boxes, Democrats will vote AGAINST an excellent choice for President due to ONE ISSUE! It's a wonder we keep losing elections!

It's time to grow up, people before it's too late
Aside from the covid restrictions, he faced an immediate backlash as he sat in an opulent, Michelin-starred restaurant as businesses and workers were reeling. Also noted: his four children were in private school classrooms while the state’s public school students were still on remote learning. 2/2
Good idea. Let him sashay right down that James Carville path that leads to some empty cabin in the woods where you write books about what could have been. I think Kamala Harris is there now. She got the keys from Hillary I hear.
The place probably should have a little male energy next.
If this is about trans boys competing against girls, you can all f*ck off. As a former athlete, I can attest that boys are simply stronger and faster biologically.
Don't let it get lost that Newsom basically conceeded the point and the entire fn narrative to that asshat when it comes to trans kids. That's FAR more concerning to me than anything about sports. Healthcare decisions for ANYONE should be made by families and doctors and NEVER by politicians.
Just look at him! It's only a matter of time when he begins applying bronzer
He's an elitist trying to find a road to the white house. I say we give him a road, and then two forks with no map
Kimberly Guilfoyle was not originally a Republican during her time in San Francisco. She was a registered Democrat and part of the city's liberal political scene. I lived there back then and knew Newsom as a fellow restauranteur.
Her fam was GOP tho, her Dad part of that conservative Irish bloc-they were big backers of police chief then mayor Frank Jordan. (Did my internship in ‘90, didn’t ever meet her, do recall her prosecuting the Knollers in the murder dogs case)
Interesting! I was not there until 2004. I liked your writing, and felt a bit guilty to follow up with such a low blow, but look,
do you think she was ever a real Democrat?
They learn quickly in the small towns near me when they have to run as D or be forgotten.
Not at all. Around the time of their divorce, Newsom was involved in a widely publicized scandal in 2007, when it was revealed that he had an affair with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his close friend and campaign manager, Alex Tourk.

"Kinney is a partner at lobbying firm Axiom Advisors, a Sacramento powerhouse that has a long list of clients ranging from Facebook to dialysis companies DaVita and Fresenius. He has been a longtime political adviser to Newsom."🪡🧶1/2
