i was talking to a friend of mine today. we were talking about newsom and she had nothing good to say about him at all,calling him a transphobe,a corporate stooge,a republican lite,all the usual bullshit.
i asked why she considers him a transphobe and she said it was becasue hes not in favor of transwomen competeing in womens sports. she didnt like me pointing out that doesnt make him anti trans,there can be a serious debate about whether they should be allowed to compete. I know both sides and while i favor letting them compete I can at least understand the other side.
so i asked her who would you favor that has a realistic chance of beating the GOP. becasue that is heh only thing that matters. purity tests are what led to the orange maniac winning. a lot of dems were pissed at how she won the nomination and refused to vote for her. and we see the result.
is newsome the candidate with teh best chance in 2028? I dont know. priztker? aoc? I dont know who would have the best chance but its newsome then im 100% onboard team newsom. if its pritzker then go pritzker. I dont care who it is as long as they beat the GOP.
No candidate is perfect. but all that matters in winning.
