    “WhAt WoUlD tHe RePuBlIcAnS tHiN-“

    They will vote Republican anyway and call you far-left! Just go and be a republican since you clearly want to be one!

    Just one fucking state I want to be a haven for social pariahs like me, and then flip off the rest of the country for simply being too stupid to understand it’s wrong to kill people just because they’re different.

      If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time

    His kill-the-unhoused stances already disqualified him.

    Idk what his stance on the Palestinian Genocide is but he’s a liberal darling so probably terrible, can anyone confirm?

    Throwing trans people under the bus? Cherry on top

      He called Israel an apartheid and then later said he “regretted” saying it. I don’t think he’s called the genocide a genocide though.

      Liberals on bsky have now flipped to accusing trans people of being racist (specifically accusing them of not caring about black people and immigrants targeted up by Ice).
      I guess they realised the “x group we are genociding hates gays so don’t feel bad about them” makes them racist as hell so this is their attempt at pivoting.

      “You tankies just don’t understand tactics! It’s strategic to make these appeals to moderate conservatives, who will definitely not see this move as shifty, opportunistic, or triangulated.”

        Second lib joins the conversation: "So true! Leftists just can’t stop doing purity tests. Why would you let a tiny fraction of the population stand in the way of voting for someone you agree with 99%? You need to be pragmatic. Vote Gavin into office first and then you can try to push him more to the left.

        Btw, I’m as leftist as they come, but I completely agree with Trump on the trans issue, so I will fight tooth and nail to prevent you from distracting Gavin’s good work with your identity politics."

    California is supposed to be one of the “better” states for trans stuff, right? What a loser.

    What a fucking piece of shit. This bill is specifically so that, in the unlikely event that the Republican candidate for governor (who specifically stated that he would extradite abortion providers) is elected to succeed him this November, he won’t be able to do that.

    “While I share the author’s views on the importance of protecting these important healthcare services, extradition is an exclusively executive function,” wrote Newsom. “When discretionary, that discretion is appropriately placed with the Governor. I am troubled by the precedent that would be set if an outgoing administration agreed with the Legislature to erode the executive authority of an incoming Governor based on their shared policy preferences, regardless of how righteous and well-intended those actions may be.”

    I don’t even fucking understand what he’s trying to say here.

    Again, what a fucking piece of shit. Fuck him. His sister makes terrible fucking music too. Eat shit.

      Sounds like he’s troubled by the idea of anything of fundamentally changing anything for the rest of his term, so he’s vetoing everything instead?

      I don’t even fucking understand what he’s trying to say here.

      He is against anything that would diminish the power of the office, and since it’s Gruesome Newsome most likely specifically against anything that would diminish the power of his office to opress people.
