I disagree. Have you been following what’s going on in England? Labour is now as anti-trans as Conservative, and not just on sports, and public opinion has shifted with it. History suggests winning the election will shift the overton window further right, since it will entrench the party as needing to be anti-trans in order to be considered electable.
Yes, I agree and I will vote in the primary. If another candidate wins it, great. But this is where I’ll stand if the electorate or the DNC chooses Newsom for the general.
Must be nice having a Democrat who hasn’t thrown you under the bus :)
A Trump presidency and a Newsom presidency would be identical for me, so in a way, either vote is a vote or Trump.
If they’re the same, you might as well vote for him to move the Overton window and make space for the next one.

Yeah, it’s a problem, but it’s a problem to address during party elections, not the general. It sucks.
Also getting out and throwing some bricks can’t hurt.
