    He should say he’s seen the files and Trump’s on them.

    One it’s true, and two trump won’t sue cause it’s true.

    I want him to start using “Many people are saying…”

    Many people are saying that Trump is a pedo.

    What Newsom is doing is not new. Trying to act more like a Republican is the go-to Democrat strategy since the 70s.

    It would be funny if I didn’t know Newsom was copying Trump’s policy ideals before he took on the persona.

      … you got it wrong. He is mocking trump not trying to act like him. Thats why he needs to escalate because people like you just dont get it and wont get it until Newsom is in full orange face screaming “the moon people are going to nuke us unless we use their proper pronouns, bleg/blerg.”

      Democrats complain that Democrat politicians are too meek and not aggressive enough.

      Only until politicians respond, the Democrats attack them for “being Republican”.

      Gavin Newsom doesnt need the Epstein files. He has the video recordings and will release them soon.

        They’re skateboards and halfpipes. Newsom ramps off Trump for some sick air and we go nuts. Then Trump ramps off Newsom and does a 900 causing the crowd to burst into applause. At the end the respective judges for both sides holds up their scorecards.

        They look like they enjoy the sport and the cheers from the crowd. I expect them to shake hands and say “good game” afterwards. I’m not interested in their sport I just want to see them break their legs.

        That really depends on who you are, doesn’t it?

        If this guy “completely aligns” with the republicans on whether my friends are actual people that deserve to be treated as actual people, than to them, and by extension to me, he is not the enemy of my enemy. He’s my enemy period.

        So yeah. Fuck this guy.

        I’m not gonna horse trade human rights.

          A neoliberal who doesn’t actively try to suppress trans rights (California has some of the strongest trans legal protections in the country) is infinitely preferable to a fascist who wants them all dead. You’re welcome to consider him an enemy, but there are degrees of enemies.

            Of course. I’m not stupid. But I’m going to keep saying “fuck this guy” until he stops being that fucking guy.

            This is not a two horse race. Not yet. And even if it were, I’d be shouting “fuck this guy” as I tick his name on the ballot.

            “Not being exactly like the worst president in the short history of this fucking country” is just not fucking good enough.

            FUCK THIS GUY.

              Why you acting like anyone likes these politics mother fuckers?

              All of them wiped off the face of the earth tomorrow I wouldn’t shed a tear. Do you think I care if youre indignant?

              Its all a means to an end. Im particularly thrilled its Newsom deploying these tactics because they are risky. Sure, they work, he reaps the rewards. They back fire his ambitions have to shrink. In the mean time he’s helping people like AOC and others find the path.

                Dude, I’m just sad the only person to fight back is transphobic trash AND that the transphobia is an active part of the strategy.

                He’s saying “fuck those guys, no one cares about them”. And people like you go “bravo sir can we have more”.

                  Im sad everyday. I wish I knew you so I could give you comfort and we could really bitch about this shit to each other endlessly. My appetite for depression and hopelessness is bottomless. Except, I have to get up each morning and make sure the people I love know Im ok and the people I support are supported. So when Im not doing that, I think on the cracks that still shine daylight, metaphorically speaking, and paw at them with my bare hands hoping something gives.

            Dude, can you read? I just said in this thread that I’d vote for him in a two horse race. But I’m going to be vocal about him being transphobic trash as I do so.

              Honestly, it was the rational move and if more people had done it things would be different right now.

              But that does not mean you have fucking campaign for her, whether on Lemmy or anywhere else.

                Ah, good old whataboutism. I know it seems crazy, but hear me out: you are not the only country out there. 🤯 So, back to the topic were you happy about her genocide plan?

                  Essentially no one was happy about her pro Israel stance. There just wasn’t another option that was better that actually had a chance at winning. While she is also bad she is no where near as bad as Trump is.
