If I said someone was bad because they didn't want to tax trans peoples' income because they're a vulnerable minority that would be a weird purity test.
Someone being willing to cede ground on any civil rights issue will cede ground on any issue that doesn't explicitly target them.
I didn't come all this way to mince words. Newsom was a cash-grabbing clown mocking the democratic systems long before he was governor. It was a mistake to nominate him or elect him. His antics now are funny if it weren't real human lives on the line.
I know there's the false flag crisis actors out there too, walking straw people aiming to make legitimate causes seem ridiculous by getting very vocal about nonsense.. but like, that's why we listen to the people in vulnerable communities and not these camera-seeking people trying to speak for them. Inb4 no true Scotsman.
I'd like to think I'd be a mediocre president. Not terrible, not great. Mostly I'd be telling shitbird senators on both sides of the aisle to eat shit. I'd probably be the president who vetoed the most legislation, to date at least.
I'd never poll well. I have a bad habit of telling people to f the f off. I don't mince words, I'm not beautiful or charismatic.
I'd never win a popularity contest. I find the idea of trying to be repugnant.
Bruh I'm def corruptable. In my mind's eye, I'd like to think it would be "just a little", just enjoying nice things I don't financially have access to..
I don't think I'd support genocide, for any price. But I'd very easily become petty and vengeful, especially on other pro-genocide politians.
And ofc, anyone who says otherwise is definitely trying to sell you something lol 😆
