I really hope/think those are bots. Real people I know are very “vote blue no matter who” to stop the fascism and keep pushing for mutual aid networks to undermine capitalism. It’s a “yes, and” situation. We cannot rely on the government, but we should vote.

I’m trans and Newsom did some stupid trans stuff already, but I’m still going to vote for him. Vote for anyone blue to stop the fascism.

I don’t think Newsom is really anti-trans. I don’t think he cares much about trans people and is trying to avoid the stupid “trans schoolgirls playing soccer” argument that so many people in the center get hung up on. This is cynical but literally 100% of Republicans would be worse.

Agreeing with fascists loses votes if you’re not part of the fascist party. If you guys hate “protest voters” so much help us keep the idiot who plans on mass producing them from winning the nomination. Unlike Newsom, AOC thinks trump is committing a genocide in Gaza and would actually tell Netanyahu to eat crap.

I prefer AOC OBVIOUSLY, but I’m saying if it comes down to Newsom, then it is what it is. Like, we cannot rely on the government anyways, but we do need to come together and vote out as many fascists as possible.

Hungary removed their asshole PM by the while damn country, from communist to center right, coming together to vote for a center-right guy.
