When Gavin Newsom says "the Democrats need to be more culturally normal" with "less focus on pronouns" what he's actually saying is "the trannies aren't normal and don't normalize them."

@benroyce @theleftistlawyer

"50 mamdanis" is not a person running against Newsom. has anyone else announced, or made it obvious they are going to?

@draNgNon @theleftistlawyer

the point is we have to get some momentum

i'm not going to talk about 2028, it's too far away

we need people showing up in the primaries this fucking year

that's the topic that matters

@benroyce @theleftistlawyer

> we need people showing up in the primaries this fucking year

true dat

@theleftistlawyer In short: Newsom us a DINO.

@theleftistlawyer Newsom is great at Trolling Trump. Please keep it up.

Newsom would be another Clinton like Neo-liberal as President and that is exactly what we do NOT need or want.

@14mission @theleftistlawyer

Or we can use effective methods, like the race-class-gender (RCGN) narrative framework, to tell very different stories that build solidarity across differences and put the blame where it belongs, on Broligarchs and the #EpsteinClass.

RCGN works, we just need more people to learn about it and use it.

Please see my pinned toots for helpful links.

PS RCGN was piloted in Minnesota and Wisconsin, something that helped make the neighborism we've seen in MN possible.

@benroyce @theleftistlawyer why? Newsom is probably the best shot they have at ousting Anyone in the Trump regime

@DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer

i'd rather have someone genuinely on the left

newsom isn't it

@FelisCatusDomesticus @theleftistlawyer

Two points:

1.) The majority of voters support trans rights, because you don't have to be trans to support trans rights. So throwing trans people under the bus is a losing strategy.

2.) Do you know who was against trans rights? Epstein. Do you know why? Because it made it easier to rape kids. Since you are also against trans rights, I'm going to assume you also rape kids. Fuck off, you child rapist.

@DrCampbell @benroyce @theleftistlawyer

No he is not. Anyone who is more progressive and also willing to fight would crush Trump in the general election. You win elections by getting your base excited, not by trying to win over the centre.

Getting someone who is only a little to the left of Trump is a losing strategy.

@FelisCatusDomesticus @theleftistlawyer

What part of, "Fuck off, you child rapist." did you not understand?

@FelisCatusDomesticus @theleftistlawyer
I do not believe that one should focus on either group or any group. How about supporting humans being humans and implementing free healthcare?

@FelisCatusDomesticus @theleftistlawyer
And by humans being humans I mean to let everyone be who they want to be. I do not see any point in trying to control someone else’s body, choices or life. And U believe that the general consensus should be that everyone has the same rights no matter the gender, ethnicity or age.

@benroyce @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer Newsom has some opinions that I don't agree with but there aren't many credible candidates that are running much further to his left. For all that talk about Mamdani being some radical agent of change, where is it?

@theleftistlawyer just like Cuomo, force him run as the independent and split the right vote. This where unlike Sanders, AOC likes have to have the guts to take on DNC to say, pick me or I will run as an independent and split the left vote to guarantee a MAGA victory and let DNC show their true colours of being MAGA lite.

@FelisCatusDomesticus ideally politicians would just shut the fuck up about us

we want to be left alone

the problem is the media and politicians who keep talking about us and demonising us

@FelisCatusDomesticus that word is a slur, keep it out of your mouth

@HakeemG @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer

i voted for bernie in the primaries, then hillary in the general. because i'm not stupid

likewise i'll vote against newsom in the primaries, but reluctantly for him in the general if he unfortunately wins the primaries. again, because i'm not stupid

but a lot of people are stupid. they get very emotional and don't understand tactical voting. so we get maga winning

we need an exciting candidate from the left

besides: centrists are spineless and weak

@benroyce @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer I always vote for the furthest left person in every primary except for president and then support the winner in the general. However I disagree that the centrists are weak, quite the contrary, the leftists often fail to even field a candidate. Obamacare saved my aunt's life, luckily she didn't have to wait on Bernie to deliver anything.

@HakeemG @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer

Joe Lieberman killed much of obamacare. what you like about obamacare could have been much better

centrists like him are corrupt and paid for. if we want universal healthcare we have to go hard left, we won't get anything from centrists except lies and stalling and betrayal
