Over the past month, California Governor Gavin Newsom has been making headlines for all the right reasons: he’s led an effort to respond to Texas Republicans’ push to further gerrymander their state, used his profile to pressure Border Patrol and ICE, and found a very effective-and hilarious-way to get under Trump’s skin through his Press Office’s parodies of the president’s writing style. All of these actions have catapulted him to national stardom, where he’s taken on the role of leading the fight against the Trump administration.
However, to the trans community, his rise only brings fear. Because before these developments, he was trying to win over potential voters in a very different way: by abandoning the LGBTQ+ community.
In the United States, California has long had a reputation. And not just for its stereotyped sunny weather, surfer culture, and affluent, snobby culture, but for its liberal politics as well. California Democrats are synonymous-especially in more Republican-leaning areas-with the liberal style of politics conservatives detest. It’s so difficult to overcome that despite California’s large population and plethora of Democratic figures with a national profile, of the three presidents from California, none of them have been Democrats.
Evidently, Newsom is facing an uphill battle. So he’s set off to appear more palatable to conservatives, starting with LGBTQ+ issues. Beginning in 2024, he started attempting to suppress pro-LGBTQ+ bills while they were still in the legislature in order to keep him from having to either veto them-losing progressives-or sign them-angering conservatives. Then, he went public with his new opinions during a conversation with Charlie Kirk on his podcast earlier this year, calling trans athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s sports ‘deeply unfair.’ And more recently, he signalled he changed his stance on gender-affirming care for minors as well.
Just remember Newsom is a wealthy American politician. He isn’t you’re friend. He isn’t you’re cool different kind of politician politician. He’s a corporate backed mouthpiece for interests that aren’t yours. You can view him as a necessary evil, but don’t forget the evil part.
and also his attacks on homeless rights too. grrr i hate him.
Newsome is an awful candidate, he’s positioning himself to loose in the same way Harris did. Trying to lean to the right, ether to pick up disaffected republican voters, or to simply seem less scary to them so they’ll be less likely to vote out of fear.
It’s the strategy that Clinton used during his second election to massive success, but, the republicans have been armoring themselves against that strategy for over 3 decades now, largely by building a base of support that only sees news and information they want them to see. At this point, a Democratic candidate could run on the same exact platform as a republican, and that core base of voters would still vote for a republican.
The democrats need to embrace the 50 states strategy that helped Obama win. Focus on partnering with grass roots organization to bring in blocks of voters who don’t traditionally show up by speaking to issues they care about. Don’t dictate the “correct policy” and then try and convince voters it’s what they want, ask them what policy they want and run on that.
Primary elections matter. Also, three Presidents? I’m only aware of Nixon (born here) and Reagan (moved here).
Hoover. Moved there and became a mining magnate. Smoot Hawley’d himself into tariff history.
Huh, didn’t know that. Thanks!
All you people who were willing to compromise on palestinian lives, now willing to compromise on queer and homeless lives, here is a nice poem by Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a CommunistThen they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a SocialistThen they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionistThen they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a JewThen they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for meIf you still believe their lies that somehow you will be spared, just trust them, there is nothing anyone can say that will make sense to you.
From the Politico article being referenced:
Senior officials in Gavin Newsom’s administration discouraged Democrats from introducing transgender rights legislation weeks before the governor publicly split with his party on trans athletes, three people with direct knowledge of the talks told POLITICO.
…
Newsom has delivered wins to LGBTQ+ rights advocates in the past, signing a bill that outlawed requirements that school staff alert parents when their child shows signs of being transgender at school. He strongly defended that bill in the podcast interview.
As mayor of San Francisco, Newsom famously defied state and federal law by issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
But he has also enraged LGBTQ Caucus members, particularly when he vetoed legislation that would have required judges to consider children’s gender identity in custody disputes.
In the interest of laying out the specifics, what I’m getting this is about is:
-
He vetoed a custody dispute law
-
He allegedly tried and failed to indirectly suppress a collection of pending legislation for improving LGBTQ rights
-
He said he doesn’t support trans women in women’s sports
-
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress.
Don’t let my human rights get in the way of your progress.
Help move the Overton window left or it will keep moving right.
Correct you do this by rejecting gavin and those like him who are false friends.

How well did that go when Kamala was a cop? When Hillary was a corporate lib?
It’s possible to support someone for the good things they do and criticize them for the bad. But if you won’t do the former then the latter is meaningless.
The left is full of as many simple-minded black-and-white thinkers as the right. Our problem is that the dimwits on the right fall in line and the dimwits on the left cut their nose to spite their face.
😂 imagine using the two least popular candidates in the last 30 years as your position’s defense.
It worked out exactly like you’d expect they lost. Surprise!
If you don’t like it stop voting for shitty candidates like gavin and biden.
Haha this is exactly my point. Whiny babies didn’t like enough Kamala so chose to morally justify doing nothing to stop a fascist from running the government. This despite the fact that nearly all of her policies were significantly closer to theirs than the alternative. But I guess if a candidate crosses the same hard line as their competition, then just not participating will stop you from feeling bad I guess?
‘liking’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting i think you meant an anti Palestinian, anti trans, antiworker, and genocidal candidate.
It was hardly ‘shes not fascist’ the cunt was running around with fucking liz chaney for gods sake child.
Anyways thankfully i dont have to deal with you im happy to continue not voting for your shitty candidates.
significantly closer to theirs than the alternative.
Oh? She was against the Genocide? Pro Healthcare for all? Wanted to stop war? Wanted the rich to pay taxes? Wanted to change the immigration system to help people get here and get set up? Wanted to clear out the prisons in favor of programs to help people get back on their feet and become useful members of society? Wanted to stop bombing kids? Wanted to completely restructure the economy so that it works for the people and not the rich? Wanted to tear down the torture prisons? Wanted to completely reform drug laws? Wanted to put war-criminals in prison, even if they are rich and powerful politicians?
Because I didn’t get that impression from her campaign, but maybe I just missed it.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. When none of us have any rights left it won’t even matter anymore. I understand the need to draw this line and stick to it and we should not overlook his treatment of transgender people, but the fact of the matter is we don’t really get to pick and choose our allies right now. Personally, I have never liked the guy and never will, but he’s at least fucking trying to do something while other politicians bend over or stick their head in the sand and wait for someone else to do something.
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. If someone is willing to sell out one group of people, they are also willing to sell out other groups.
And Newsome has been very clear that he’s willing to sell out multiple groups of people.
Kamala has been clear about selling out the palestinian people but eperyone kept believing her that she wouldn’t sell them out.
Right? I keep hearing people say that she only said that she would side with Israel to get votes, but she was actually really secretly against the genocide. Just like I saw people say that Biden was “working tirelessly” to stop the genocide. It’s been pretty obvious that wasn’t true, but I guess calling a spade a spade is too much for some people.
And what the 2024 nominee, Kamala Harris, who, you know, the presumptive or leading nominee for 2028, she’s she signaled she’s going to run again. One would be curious what she would say about this. She has not commented. She lost the election about seven months ago. Has not commented at all on Gaza, except twice to hand-wring about Israeli hostages. She’s not opposed anything Trump has done with respect to the genocide in Gaza, not publicly at least. She hasn’t publicly condemned anything that Trump has done with respect to Iran. And the bombing happened last night. Since then, she hasn’t issued a statement. She hasn’t condemned it. She hasn’t opposed it. Now, a lot of people say, Oh, well, Harris would have been better than Trump. Again, very possible, but the one person in the world who could solve this mystery, which is Kamala Harris herself, has yet to criticize Trump on the subject of Israel at all.
Here’s the thing with US presidential elections: either the Democratic or Republican candidate will take office. It’s not right, it’s not good, but it’s true. If you want the candidate you want to win the election, you need to get that candidate nominated by one of those two parties. Primaries matter.
Once the primaries are over, you need to vote for the candidate you prefer out of those two. Voting outside of those two, or not at all, gives your electoral support to the candidate you don’t want to win.
Yes, you may well be forced to choose between bad and worse. But that’s the choice you have. To be clear, I really don’t want Newsom to rise for all sorts of reasons. However, I can’t deny that his tactics against Trump right now are brilliant, and taking on the Texas redistricting nonsense head on is a good thing.
Your human rights, along with a whole lot of other people’s, are in serious jeopardy right now. Is Newsom doing things right now that are supportive of those rights? Yes.
Incorrect as harris found out. Its best you stop living in this fairy land of yours.
If dems want to win they need to start meeting their base where its at.
People don’t vote this way and you can’t make them.
What if I don’t want either to win?
Yes, you may well be forced to choose between bad and worse. But that’s the choice you have.
What a stupid country.
I hate it here.
You’ll get no argument from me on that.
And the worst part is that by constantly having to choose between bad and worse it will only get stupider.
Is Newsom doing things right now that are supportive of those rights? Yes.
Are you aware that you are posting this to Blahaj Zone?
We’re dealing with a fascist takeover of our government right now. We haven’t forgotten you, we just have to work our way down from the bigger issues right now, which are illegal kidnappings, deportation, imprisonment and torture of innocent Americans on our own soil, the eradication of habaeus corpus, massive market manipulation, the defunding and sabotage of our education system, and the Constitution itself being wholly ignored by everyone in charge.
I completely sympathize with trans struggles, but they’re not the ones being kidnapped and tortured right now. Call it political triage, if you must.
Trans people are literally getting their passports revoked and altered. People are losing healthcare access, prisoners are getting transferred into all male prisons and basically getting green lit to be raped. Your ignorance of how bad shit is for us right now doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Immigrants and US citizens are getting sent to concentration camps and sent to foreign countries. Everyone in America is losing their right to vote. What Newsom is doing is important for everyone. We shouldn’t forget how he’s treating you though, and he should never be president.
Trans people are included in all that as well, but for some reason never in the groups of people that deserve protection.
You do deserve protection, absolutely. Newsom is protecting you from the back while he’s stabbing you in the front. He’s all we have right now trying to keep the midterms from going to the right. If the right wins again, you’ll lose every single protection you’ve ever had. You may be on the list next to go to the camps. We have to back this decision, but also yes, never forget and don’t let him become president.
Edit: Also, no one is protecting the immigrants and US citizens right now either. The Texas dems that went to Illinois are the only other ones that I know of trying to offset the gerrymandering.
Newsom can’t be reelected as governor in 2026, neither Senator is up for reelection, and I don’t see Newsom running for Representative.
Literally no reason related to the midterms to not criticize the shit out of him. If trans people criticizing one of the most powerful governors in the US for being transphobic is what destroys the country then I think we were already there.
THANK YOU
Oh come on. Y’all would be silent should the day come where Newsom gets the primary, wins the presidency, and proceeds to keep most of Trump’s fascist power grab bullshit in play for his own enrichment. Not a peep should he leave all the ICE torture camps open, and should he either keep all us trans folk in them after DJT sends us there before his term ends, or else starts sending us in the first place if Trump never gets the opportunity to do so. Newsom’s a fucking snake and I’m absolutely sure he’d do to the Democrats as president what Keir Starmer did to the UK’s Labour party, a hand-in-hand “I Can’t Believe They’re Not Tories/Republicans”-assed continuation of all the conservatives’ laws and policies, with some aspects changed for the better and plenty changed for the worse, but still on the same downward spiral trajectory towards collapse. Pick a better fucking candidate in the primary, we don’t need to pick fucking Newsom.
Fine. Get stuck in your search for the perfect angel while fascism just rolls right over us 🙄
They said that they want someone who will:
- Get rid of most of Trump’s fascist power grab bullshit
- Get rid of ICE torture camps
- Support trans folk
- Stop the downward spiral trajectory towards collapse
But you say they are waiting for “the perfect angel”
Maybe that is why the Dems keep losing. All of those requests sounds like less than the bare minimum to me.
every dem has expanded the concentration camp. Trump came into office and all the tools were already there. This dem that reverses course on immigration is a fairy tale, they dont exist.
Thinking gavin will save you is the truly scary part. Dont like fascism? You have two options light shit on fire or vote for socialist candidates like bernie. Good luck!
How many dead trans people are acceptable in the name of progress?
This isn’t a hypothetical. Newsom is engaging in behavior that measurably worsens mental health among trans people. Or for anyone that doesn’t need a fucking scientific study for basic moral insight, political leaders legitimizing attacks on trans people very reasonably makes trans people live in fear.
So how much progress makes it worth terrorizing trans people? What’s the minimum you’d take in exchange? Do you think you’re actually getting that out of Newsom right now? Where’s the line that will make you go ‘okay, we’ve made enough progress, now it’s trans peoples’ turn’?
Does that point even exist for you?
Or was your comment just a thought terminating cliche?
Is Newsom better or worse on that issue than the alternative? If you think he’s worse, then I wonder who you think is the alternative?
Or is your comment also a thought terminating cliche itself?
It isn’t even the fucking midterms and I’m being told to eat shit and vote for someone who isn’t even the candidate yet, god I love politics.
Do you know what a primary is?
If we can’t criticize politicians before, during, or after the primary then it sounds a whole lot like we just can’t criticize them.
Who is the alternative? Seriously. I never said shit about voting.
I am open to these conversations and I am no fan of Newsom. That said, I am absolutely willing to give credit to people for the good things they do AND criticize them for the bad.
I don’t find it productive to be saying that it is completely disqualifying for someone to have a bad policy position that is a significant improvement over the status quo.
Who is the alternative? Seriously. I never said shit about voting.
If you’re not talking about voting then the alternative to what? Jesus.
I don’t find it productive to be saying that it is completely disqualifying for someone to have a bad policy position that is a significant improvement over the status quo.
If he was coming after your kids’ healthcare and access to an equal education you’d probably feel differently. But as always, trans people do not fit into the analysis of whether the status quo is improving or worsening and for whom.
Who else has the type of platform and the tools available to do these things that Newsom is getting credit for here that this article is referring to?
There are thousands of lawyers trying to get the regime to follow the law. That’s awesome but a totally different thing. They’re getting more of my dollars than any politician right now.
Zohran is exactly the type of politician I’d love to be doing this type of thing against Trump (and he kinda is) but he’s just running for mayor, while Newsom is currently the governor of the most powerful state in the union.
Bernie and AOC captured us all on their tour, but what are they doing now? Should we be redirecting eyes from Newsom’s shenanigans to them?
Really, what I am getting at is articles that are basically “hey, stop giving credit to person doing this good thing because they did this bad thing” are not helpful if they don’t redirect energy to something better. They’re just sucking the air out of the room.
I am arguing for critical support (the actual meaning, not the meme version which is unconditional support) rather than disqualification.
I’m saying the problem is that any criticism of Newsom’s transphobia is met with responses ranging from dismissive to hostile. If actual critical support of him existed that would be great, but I see little evidence of that. Politics as fandom means anyone who doesn’t like the favorite of the week is The Enemy, even when the favorite of the week is putting them in the line of fire.
Conversely: don’t let just any progress subvert your pursuit of perfection.
Just because Newsom is better than Trump does not mean you should accept his primacy before the candidates are listed. At least wait to see who else is running before attempting to curtail criticism.
Newsome is probably one of the worst candidates they could run.
The right hates him because he’s the governor of California.
The moderates are ambivalent about him.
And the left hates him because he keeps trying to pander to the right.
Is this the thread from the gop to tank newsome this early? Like yea we can talk about how he sucks but this all reads like gop bots in here.
Na gavin just shouldnt even be discussed as a possible president candidate. He wont do any better than harris
Idk he’s got that white male thing going… /s
trans athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s sports ‘deeply unfair’
It is unfair. Not sure why you put that in there
What’s fair about telling a sixteen year old who’s been on hormones for a few months/years that they can’t play sports anymore unless it’s with their assigned sex at birth?
What’s fair about being the only girl on the boys soccer team and not being able to socialize with other girls in sports? Is it so important that high school sports are as biologically “fair” as possible (even though there is no such thing in either men’s or women’s sports) that we must ensure trans teenagers are completely ostracized, singled out, and unable to integrate with other students of their gender?
There were less trans athletes in the NCAA last year than there are students in the average high school classroom, do you think it’s important that we litigate the fairness of allowing them to compete on a national political stage? Do you think, maybe, that this whole issue is just a Trojan horse so the average person who has no opinion on trans people is made to think about them in the context of “protecting women from men”?
Or are you just carrying water for bigots who want to litigate trans people out of existence?
Not as fussed with high school stuff although if it means getting into a team to do something professionally then yes that matters.
Professionally it absolutely matters with all the advantages a trans female would have from being born male. There either needs to a trans category or they suck it up and don’t compete.
How about wealth divisions? Should the advantage affluent athletes have over working class athletes be identified and excised?
Also, good luck forming a “trans league” with all the trans athletes in the nation.
Oh hey, it’s my area of expertise and I’ve got some strong feelings so pardon the wall of text! This discussion tends to immediately focus on professional athletes and I think that’s doing everyone a disservice. Exceedingly few people are professional athletes, especially trans folk. Elite athletes have fundamentally different reasons to pursue their sport, and are closer to the genetic limits of their performance. I can see some value in accounting for broad genetic differences at that level of competition, but sex is far from the only genetic factor and in many sports it isn’t the most relevant. It’s not even like men are favored over women in every sport. Muscle mass and cardiovascular capacity advantages tend to favor men in most sports, but women can be favored over men in ultra-endurance sports due to advantages in fat metabolism and pain tolerance.
In fencing, for instance, men and women tend to be pretty equally matched. Broad average differences in explosive acceleration, balance, etc exist between the sexes, but it’s possible to account for these things through bladework and strategy in all but the highest elite levels. Know what you can’t really do jack-shit about? Reach! If someone’s a head taller than you, has a lankier build, and longer arms, it is incredibly difficult to get in range before they can hit you. Practice tends to be co-ed, with men and women performing equally, but for some reason fencing tournaments are split between men and women. It’s clear in both divisions that the lankier, taller people have an inherent genetic advantage. Why is sex considered the “more important” primary category? Why is this assumed to be the case in every sport? The science really does not back this up.
But again, that’s all just about high-level competitive athletes, a tiny tiny tiny fraction of a fraction of people. What’s the real value of sports for the rest of us, especially kids? Community, recreation, exercise, developing motor skills. Among the general population, the variation in skill level far exceeds genetic differences to the point that gendered divisions outside the most elite level just doesn’t make much sense to begin with. With this in mind, and considering how seldom few of us are athletes in the first place, does it not make sense for trans women to just be able to play in the division we socially fit in better with?
I haven’t even gotten into the long-term outlook for trans athletes on HRT, that’s a much longer discussion. But do consider that sports science (and human movement more broadly) isn’t a solved field. We’re just now getting over the “functional training” craze, itself a reaction to origin-insertion anatomy which did not properly model how multi-joint movements work. We’re just now coming to a better understanding of fascia, which plays a much more important role in motion than we understood and is very responsive to sex hormones. A majority of the systems involved in motion are ones where trans women are more alike to cis women than cis men. I won’t say there’s no differences at all, but it’s more nuanced than you’d think.
The number of cis women athletes (Imane Khelif being a notable example) harassed because people suspect them of being transgender goes to show how insane this is getting. Cis bodies are incredibly varied, in that context trans bodies are really not that different.
Alright, I’ll bite:
How is it unfair?
What the fuck are you doing in this comm?
calm down. no need to be afraid of discussion
What is there to discuss? Your opinion is completely unsolicited, unsubstantiated, and runs directly counter to the purpose of this comm. Piss off.
Right on! When Newsom loses we can celebrate just like we did when Harris lost. Mission accomplished! Palestine is saved!
Can’t wait for the conservative that will eventually replace Newsom due to voters staying home for a single issue to save trans people!
Did you morons really learn nothing? It’s going to take decades to move things left. Sorry you can’t get literally every single thing you want right this minute. I think that was supposed to be learned in fucking kindergarten.
I mean, you can callout other voters, or you can callout the party that keeps pushing out unelectable candidates who’s only real selling point is “better than trump”, sure it’s a pretty good selling point, but, clearly, not everyone is so convinced.
The first is just going to get you arguments on the internet, the second might motivate actual change.
Sorry you can’t get literally every single thing you want right this minute. I think that was supposed to be learned in fucking kindergarten.
I didn’t realize it was childish and unreasonable to want to be treated as a person with the same rights and protections as everyone else.
So how long should we throw trans people under the bus (or on the bus) before things move left enough for me to feel safe in public?
How long should we accept our status as oppressed and targeted minorities to appeal to all the imaginary “moderate” conservatives who haven’t flipped an election since the 90s?
One more question: do any of these things directly affect you at all, or do you just want the people who are affected to stop complaining about it because it’s a political liability?
Sorry you can’t get literally every single thing you want right this minute.
I don’t know of anyone that’s asking for that. We’re just asking for someone who isn’t a monster. But the Dems aren’t interested in running anyone unless they are a monster.
Lol? Newsom is a monster? Harris is a monster? Wtf are you talking about?
This is actually my point. Because they have one policy you don’t like, they’re a monster. This is what kept people home. This is why Trump is president. Congrats. Republicans will be united while we demonize politicians that are 90% great. No, I don’t like Newsom’s track record on trans rights. No, I don’t like Harris’ track record on Israel. Let’s handle that after the fucking most terrible people are defeated. Let’s defeat them so many times that they all have to move farther towards our goals.
Fuck, if they’re even 50% good they’re still 50% better than fucking fascist.
Yes, a monster:
Did you see him proudly destroy people’s homes? https://www.newsweek.com/gavin-newsom-clears-homeless-encampment-1937018
He Veto’d a bill to cap insulin prices. He Veto bills to build social and LGBTQ+ teen housing. He veto’d a bill to provide hearing-aids to kids. He veto’d a bill to make the rich pay taxes. He ran on a single-payer healthcare system, then when he had the power to do so, immediately backed down (after his party conveniently recieved a large payment from health-care companies). He Veto’d a bill to let striking workers keep their insurance. He Veto’d a bill that banned employers from retalliating against picketers. I can keep going if you want.
So yes, I think the word “monster” is appropriate.
This is why Trump is president.
No, Trump is president because the supposedly “opposition party” does nothing for the voters they claim to represent. They spend their time supporting and backing the Republicans, and their rich donors. If you want people to stop staying home, then get the Democrats to push politicians that voters actually want, rather than shoving more neoliberal nonsense down our throats.
Let’s handle that after the fucking most terrible people are defeated
Queer people aren’t fucking stupid, we know rights don’t come from politely waiting for ‘our turn.’ It turns out there is always some new crises that make queer rights ‘impractical’ or ‘the wrong time’ for it.
If demanding trans people don’t get thrown under the bus is going to kill democracy forever then you better be on the ass of any Democratic candidate to not throw trans people to the wolves, or don’t be surprised when you can’t scream at queer people until they vote for a transphobe.
nevermind that i have ZERO faith in democrats to actually reverse anything that trump is doing.
we don’t need a centrist candidate we need a populist who will burn down everything trump did and massively reset the government.
Keep doing what you’re doing then. Seems like it’s working!
The last time we had real progress in this country was when Democrats held power for over 30 years. The entire country moved to the left. It took the right 60 years to convince you that coalitions are bad and compromise is evil. They’re winning and it’s because they’re united while convincing us not to be.
Keep doing what you’re doing then. Seems like it’s working!
Blaming the homos for the state of everything is nothing new, but congrats on finding a “progressive” spin for it.
Again, if the queer vote is world endingly important, then fucking act like it. Go scream at Newsom to suck less, not at queer people about how they should shut up and take it.
Not sure why you posted this in reply to me, and I’m left to guess since you didn’t say anything. It’s not news to any trans person that we’re politically targeted to drum up the Republican base, not because anti-trans policies are popular.
How has the Democrats strategy been working out? I find it curious that you think the best progress that we had was over 30 years ago, yet the Democratic party we have now is massively to the right of the Democrats back then. Maybe they should try what has been proven to work, rather than what is obviously not working.
This has been the strategy since killary and look where you are now! Oh at least she’s better than the out and proud fascist. Well that got you genocide joe. But you were willing to rally behind him blindly, defending him and shushing anyone reminding you of the genocide until the dem misleadership decided they had to shuffle him off because he is bad tv. Let that sink in for a moment, there was enough momentum to replace him because he had a bad tv performance but not because of his literal genocide. So then you got Killemalla who has still not disagreed with the antichrist on anything relating to Palestine and her past behaviour indicates she would have kept genocide joes policy of “anything the occupation regime of west palestine does will be defended”. Well there was no real resistance to her so now they’re testing gruesome newsom.
Unless you people are willing to get organised and do what the DSA in new york did to unseat sex pest cuomo in favor of zohran you will keep getting these murderous conservatives. Get organised.
