    This greaseball wants to sell out trans people, not understanding that the reactionaries will just move on to the next target.

    But you can’t expect a liberal centrist to understand solidarity. I want him to lose the gubernatorial primary so fucking much.

        IMO, a California politician would face an uphill battle in the general anyway.

        Republicans have spent so long demonizing California as a place full of communists and corruption that any politician associated with California is going to be viewed with intense suspicion by the (unfortunately all-important) flyover states.

        Now, to be clear, fuck those ignorant assholes. But we do kind of need their votes, regardless. And it would be a mistake to run a candidate in the general election who has this disadvantage in swaying them.

        Yes, I think he likes it that way. The status quo is the goal. He’s not actually progressive at all, he just wears a progressive mask when he needs to, so it gets him votes.
