    Regarding giving up rights comment: who is most likely to change their stance if you were to personally talk to them directly:

    Trump or Newsom?

    Pressuring one to change their stance isn’t the same as vilifying them. Republican GOP pigs vilify. That’s their play. Let’s be better than that. At least to each other please.

      They both have moved substantially to the right on trans issues. Both are just following opinion polls. So really, I think either are just about as likely. Both of them are amoral monsters that believe in nothing.

      Neither one. They don’t listen to the public. They listen to the donor class.

      Please point out where I have vilified Newsom. Because pointing out his transphobia isn’t it. Asking people to pressure his office to knock the transphobia the fuck off—the very thing you are suggesting I should take into account—isn’t it either.

      If you’re saying I’m vilifying other users by asking pointed questions about why they’re so comfortable asking trans voters to vote for someone who is onboard with removing their rights, I don’t accept that as vilification either.
