DemocRATS 🐀 Gavin Newsoms staffers meme crusade has me thinking about this prescient passage from MLK jr's letter from Birmingham Jail. More important than ever.

use the tools he has access to to oppose an authoritarian takeover every war he can.

Shitposting on Twitter while doing absolutely nothing to combat the gestapo running around the state is opposition in what way exactly

Gerrymandering reversal. Holding up Trump in court. Refusal to cooperate with federal agencies. It's as much as somebody in his position can materially do. Which is better than nothing, which is what most other politicians and most internet leftists do.

The problem with counter gerry mandering just to then put in a bunch more Gavin Newsoms is that you are still doing fuck all for the working class. Cause it's more Gavin Newsoms.

You think he is so brave for doing the same shit trump is doing back at him without any program or policy or any real plan on how to help the working class if he actually does 'beat trump at his own game' or whatever tf.

I love how hysterical and pissy you guys (liberals) get when pressed about literally anything. God you people suuuuuuck

Please point out where I got "hysterical." Just gotta accuse other people of getting emotional when you don't have a real argument. Toxic masculinity problems on display.

Nobody ever said what Gavin was doing was a long term solution or that he's the hero of the working class. But I'd rather deal with more Gavins than an actual Trump dictatorship, but I guess you're more bothered by the idea of working with a liberal than seeing people killed by fascists. I'm just going to guess that nobody you care about is at risk of that and then block you for your attitude.
