No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.

Gavin Newsom needs to be more based and stop talking about compromise

[–] antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

The Democrats need to focus on taxing the rich. Anything else is a distraction. No offense to any who feel like their particular status is under attack. It’s under attack by billionaires, and they’re doing it to keep us (non-billionaires) divided into two camps.

Gavin Newsom 🤮

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 5 points 1 day ago

Newsom is a traditional politician. If people vote for him they're shooting themselves in the foot

He’s not wrong, just for the wrong reasons. Wasting capital on fighting over pronouns while trump’s SS and company are building reeducation camps or whatever you want to call them. Keep distracted over the small stuff and soon enough no argument will be allowed.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I cant believe she would care so much about pronouns.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

hes going to fail, hes doing what HARRIS IS DOING courting republicans and keeping the status quo with israel like schumer and hakeem. I suspect it will be another REPUBLICAN win at this point.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

If you let him to win the primaries. You need to do everything within your ability to stop him from winning.

[–] wagesj45@fedia.io 38 points 2 days ago

Like the Republicans have ever cared about being normal. They're the weirdest motherfuckers there are. But they're proof-positive that if you give something concrete to vote for, that people will vote for you, even if it's fucking stupid. Maybe instead of campaigning on "we're not them" the Democrats can pick something to fight for; actually making an affirmative case for something rather than defaulting to the mean of the mythical "average voter" that makes no sense in reality anyway.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 47 points 2 days ago

He's explicitly anti-trans, anti-unhoused. He will never get my vote.

[–] ElectricAirship@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man, the democrats really are trying to make the 2028 election as narrow as possible

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago

SCHUMER and the dinos wants to keep the status quo, what better way then to have repulicans win. DNC is designed to keep any "left" leaning candidate from center right from winning, and the RIGHT wingers have to be the antagonist, to create a problem that keeps DNC elected and not "left" of SCHUMERs.

[–] husmus3274@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago

Reps should be more culturally normal and stop promoting Nazis worldwide

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Culturally normal like all the people in the Epstein Files?

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cannot be stressed enough. Neolibs like Newsom are just as mired in the Epstein files as the rest of them. Participants and protectors both. Servants of the Epstein class.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Yup. He and Donald Trump Jr. share Kimberly Guilfoyle is a former girlfriend of both.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 2 days ago

I guess he doesn't need my vote then.

[–] BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 2 days ago

Have you considered that perhaps the problem is that people like you consider us "culturally un-normal"? We exist. We aren't going anywhere. Get the fuck over it.

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure buddy, maybe this time we'll get those hypothetical moderate votes.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

he wants the "Far right votes", during his time in cali his influence never reached far outside of his district after he left SF behind, he isnt that good statewise or nationally, only super locally with rich folks.

If you genuinely want to shut republicans up about trans issues I'm pretty sure countering with "why are you so fixated on transgender people? Are you a chaser or something?" Would go a long way.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

If they can sacrifice queer people, what stops them from sacrificing other groups?

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thus ends Newsom's rise that was small to begin with

Lol, like the establishment cares about integrity.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago

If you think I’m CuLtUraLlY aBnOrMaL then don’t worry about getting my vote 🤷‍♂️

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

Gavin Newsome needs to suck the peanuts out of my poo

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

NEWSOME NEVER

I don't want a new Reagan era.
