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."

@theleftistlawyer

people need to show up in the primaries and make sure #Newsom does not make it to the general #election in 2028

and we can start building on that now by showing up in the #primaries in 2026 and get 50 mamdanis in in the general in november

the way you defeat this bullshit is you *show the fuck up*

if you hear Newsom say #transmisic shit and go "i'm not voting," then you wind up helping #MAGA win and that will be even worse for #trans people

#vote

fuck Newsom

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

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

i'd rather have someone genuinely on the left

newsom isn't it

Show threadHakeemGFeb 24
@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?

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

Show threadHakeemGFeb 24
@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.

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

Show threadHakeemGFeb 24
@benroyce @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer It's F Joe Lieberman all day every day, but the rest of the Dems still saved my aunt's life. I won't hear lectures about how they haven't done anything from privileged people who have always had health insurance.

@HakeemG @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer

you don't seem very sincere if you admit obamacare could have been better if it weren't for centrist assholes, then you go right on defending centrist assholes. pay attention. be honest on the topic. we win more if we go further left. centrists suck

Show threadHakeemGFeb 24
@benroyce @DrCampbell @theleftistlawyer It depends on your definition of centrists. If you're referencing Fetterman or Lieberman then I'm in agreement, if you're referencing Schumer or Jeffries, then I hard disagree. Pelosi is the fing GOAT IMHO, got more done for this country than any other person in Congress in my lifetime. Other people promised more, but she actually delivered.

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.

And then that? He makes minor adjustments to the tools of oppression that don't really fix anything, and then the next Republican president massively expands them again.

The USA needs a President who is actually committed to fighting fascism.
