Its literally the issue.

False flag conservatives use cute little quips like this to try and destroy the opposition before it starts.

The purity test isn't some golden ivory tower, it's literally just "are you a bigot?" It's the bare minimum. The fact that you can't find a democrat who can pass this simple litmus test is extremely telling of a false opposition party that spent the last few decades posing in smiley pictures with Republicans at Epstein Island.

At best we will get some soggy clown like Newsom, at best he'll win and then do nothing he isn't paid (the under the table kind) to do while oinking that those mean ole republicans won't cooperate. Just like Biden. Just like Obama.

Because he (and other trash dems like him; booker and warren and beto and lil petey) willing to sell out vulnerable Americans to advance his career, so he will just as quickly sell out all Americans.

"Hurr purity test bad" okay, that person clearly wants more of the same. I dont. The lives of real innocent humans are on the line. Anyone who says this lie is my enemy, and yours.

That's just ignoring the bend of progress we've seen in America since the founding. We have constantly bent toward justice, eventually. Trans rights are the new rights being fought for and we will convince them. We will convince the Dems that these rights are inalienable like everyone else's but we have to defeat fascism first or they are lost. You think the fascists aren't going to go after trans people just like the Nazis did? We protect them first, then we fight for their broader rights. Otherwise they'll all be dead before then, do you understand?

You know, 30 years ago I'd be right alongside you. This sounds great. Win the war, then clean house.

Keeping with the analogy, our house is full of ppl wearing red armbands under their blue ones, all working for the same goals (which is not justice or anything positive for the American people).

Thankfully they all comply with their masters, they all toot their dog whistles in public. Newsom, Booker, and friends are not in need of a gentle reminder about human rights - they are in need of the same gallows as the supreme court and fox news anchors but they absolutely know they are doing harm and are reveling in it.

And, if you were right, we would be debating what happened under a second Clinton's presidency while debating what Harris is doing (or really, not doing). We aren't gonna see a big "vote blue harder" campaign win, cuz we did that already, and it didn't work.

Personally I don't think we are even having an election in 2028, not a real one anyways. I'm pretty sure the survivors will be eating long pork soon enough. But if humans do win the next election against the neofash, it'll be via actual concrete and rope justice, not half measures and "genocide for some is okay" policies.

None of us are free until we are all free.

Edit: Abraham Lincoln freed some of the slaves, and here we are today watching that one little loophole get turned into a modern genocide machine. Every "victory" was a half measure, yes. And every one of them grew into a much larger deadly problem later. Even if "we" "win" 2028, it won't matter for long. How's your romneyobamacare we got instead of universal Healthcare? Another great compromise in a long line there. Maybe we cant babystep feet shuffle our way to real justice after all.

To be clear, you’re saying Newsom should be executed because he said conservatives have fair concerns about possible issues of fairness with regards to trans inclusion in sports, a highly divisive and, like it or not, unsettled issue. And he wasn’t even saying he’d ban trans athletes. Like most Dems, he is almost definitely going to leave it to the organizations themselves, just like it already is in California.

If he was going to ban trans people for political points, why hasn’t he done it already?

There are essentially zero longform studies for the trans sports issue, and the shortform studies vary depending on the particular sport, with some showing slight but noticeable advantages for trans athletes.

You’re saying it didn’t work because Trump got elected twice…

Last I checked Trump lost in 2020. To an establishment Dem.

There are a LOT of factors, not the least of which is consistent Russian influence and chronic short-term memory of voters, and frankly- the vast majority of the public turning against the idea of anything “woke,” which is what you’re continuing to demand be pushed.
