If he’s the candidate, I’m sitting the election out. Look, my community is under an attempted genocide right now. And as we’ve seen from the Starmer government in the UK, a nominally liberal government can be just as bad for trans rights as any Republican government. When Newsom says “be more culturally normal,” that is a dogwhistle for “take away the human rights of trans people.”
If the party isn’t willing to fight for my civil rights, sorry, I don’t owe you shit. You chose to do nothing after they first came for me, so I will laugh when they come for you.
Yeah, they sure seem like they’re just going to keep doing that though. So all of us sober and sane voters who know how critical this election is going to be should just make sure we don’t let Newsom become the candidate, right?
Ideally, the sober and sane voters will vote in the primary against him so there is a good candidate during the general to vote for. Regardless, Newsome is better than anything the Republicans will push through primaries, so if that’s the less bad option, then that’s the unfortunate reality of a FPtP election system. I think we’re all hoping that the primaries give a good option, not a less bad option, but people have to show up.
They will for sure try, but the primaries is the one time where we get to vote for our preferred candidate (unless that candidate wins) without wasting a vote on third party. The beauty of being an independent thinker is that it doesn’t matter to me what TF the dnc has to say, because it means only slightly more than what comes from Republicans.
I deeply hope it won’t happen, but if it’s him or the Nazis, then…

This mentality was super effective in 2024 at stopping the worst president of our lives from gaining power.

The only purpose of the primary is for the DNC to slowly gaslight you into who they want you to support.

Again, I don’t care. You vote to throw me and my people on the pyre, you can all go to Hell as far as I’m concerned. We can all burn together.
Honestly, at this point I don’t blame you. If this is the dogsh*t the Dems consider a reasonable compromise then the Union has fallen.
Can I interest you in voting third party? Some third party candidates are worth your consideration.
Rofl!
If its him or the Nazi, the Nazis have won.
perfect way to put it
WE ALREADY HAVE NAZIS RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT. HAVING NAZI-LITE WITH NEWSOM SHALL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE.
Surprise they’re all Nazis.
