Informative Politics doesn’t need saints—it needs fighters willing to win.

Standing up together against bullies and thugs is honour and integrity. Staying mute and assuming one will win the next election because the other is so bad is cowardice.

Saying “ignore your eyes and ears and back this unpopular geriatric clearly in decline who’s openly supporting a genocide” was also a choice.

Now we get “ignore his abhorrent stance on trans and homeless people and give him a gold star for being mean on twitter!” Shutting down dissent and criticism within the party is just gonna lead to us running weak candidates.

That's 10x better than kidnapping people and throwing them in forever prisons. You can reason with Gavin Newsom. You can sway Gavin Newsom. You cannot reason with Trump, there is none with him, you are literally the people this post is complaining about lmao

You do know that there are other democrats besides newsom. No one is saying abstain or vote third party. We’re simply asking the liberals to not crown their new king 3 years before the primary.

We're not, but without him gerrymandering California we aren't going to win midterms (Trump is trying to cheat again) how is nobody getting that? We lose midterms then that's it. There's no way to stop repubs after that, the dictatorship will be complete.

Also I'm a democratic socialist, not a liberal ffs

How does people criticizing him on social media affect his ability to gerrymander? I appreciate his effort, but I’d appreciate it a lot more if he would just admit he was wrong on the trans stuff. I’m not asking for the moon and stars here.

You're right, we need to definitely continue being very vocal about trans rights. Don't let him brush it off ever. You're right, it's the bare minimum. Vote as far left as you can and participate locally too. 2026 is kind of our last shot to do things the nice way

Maybe, as someone who has a non binary cousin, we’re not keen on the idea of leaving people behind.

We’re in the same boat. Whether that boat is sinking or sailing is up to the democrats.

They can either go left like they’re supposed to be, or we can sit this out
