horrible
Libs are the only ones surprised
Looked up threads about this on Reddit. Only found three threads on it. Nothing in /r/politics
- /r/transgender was going hard against it
- fucking /r/lgbt was justifying the action and saying its good because blah blah liberal bullshit.
- /r/california_politics used different reasoning but still justified it.
Had brunch with work colleagues (plenty “international” which means mostly anglosphere tech sphere aligned) and the majority defended his actions. Funnily they were all “allies” and the queers on the table were all against it. Which is kinda how it often is. The arguments were those of a “negative peace”, too.
Being an “ally” means absolutely nothing. I have 100% confidence in their total betrayal the second the wind shifts.
I understand your sentiment. I do believe that there are plenty of real allies who would have our backs (as some did show in the past already).
But those are mostly already active and their ally-ship is proven and the “title” isn’t something they claim, it is something proved and thereby given.
“Faith without works is dead”, on other words. An ally isn’t something you claim to be, it’s something you accomplish with your actions. That’s not how libs see it but that’s what it is.
it’s something you accomplish with your actions.
Exactly.
Newsom let a medicare for all type bill expire on his desk that he has promised to pass
And now this
But neolibs will say it’s better than the alternative!! Which at this point is basically just a gun to our heads
I thought the Medicare-for-All bill never got voted on in the Assembly, despite having nominal support from a supposed majority. Or do they change the way it dies every session just to toy with us?
Scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds
Other-minded elected officials, in California and other states, could very well use this strategy to diminish the civil rights of vulnerable communities
See, I can’t use my power to protect you because that would set a bad example for the ghouls I have dinner with to use power to attack you. Oh, they’re already doing that? Have some thoughts and prayers.
“They could use this strategy to diminish the civil rights of vulnerable communities” he writes as he refuses to strengthen the civil rights of vulnerable communities.
This is also a good explanation of why they can’t raise the minimum wage. Most leftists fail to consider that someone might later lower the minimum wage.
“If we do good things now, they’ll just use that precedent to do bad things later”
“stunning betrayal” wdym my back literally has a slot for knives on it labeled “liberals only”
You’re doing great buddy. Keep this up and you’ll be the Democratic presidential candidate in no time
💥
Bullets are more effective than votes, and we’ve got a huge surplus here in the US.
Presidential ambitions
Oh yeah? Well I just veto’d a bill protecting Gavin Newsom.
Libs for the past few decades: Just vote harder guys! If we can get enough Democrats into congress so that Manchin and Sinema aren’t the deciding votes, then we’ll be able to do things like codify Roe V. Wade and guarantee some protections for trans people! Maybe we’ll even do that free healthcare thing you guys like so much
California with its Democratic governor and its Democratic fucking supermajority:
California with its Democratic governor and its Democratic fucking supermajority:
Even worse since he’s the sole reason why it didn’t get made into law.
Like literally everyone from a majority of the state population, the state senators, judges, and state representatives would’ve been fine with this bill, but it got vetoed’ because Gavin Newsom wants to run for President for ??? reasons and thinks that if he turns the bigotry dial that hayseeds in rural areas will like him more, when in reality either they don’t care or won’t like him because he looks like the California Liberal that a lot people don’t like.
I imagine the farcical version in the future where they list off half of the democratic party not being the deciding votes
Remember when that person was here yesterday whining at us that the Democrats at least let trans people exist? I remember.
Beat me to it.
what a tragedy
Probably the smart and correct move for him. He gets to keep the big voter base that is non-trans accepting Dems and centrists
If doing the wrong thing could add at least one vote to his mental scoreboard, he’ll do it in a heartbeat. That slimy bastard has no soul behind his eyes.
