Gavin Newsome said yesterday that we should stop using pronouns btw. None of these people care about anything and would throw any marginalized group under the bus if the were told it would bring them a polling bump

I don’t wonder this because I seriously disagree with the characterization. If that’s really how you feel, seriously, as I’ve been saying, don’t engage in Democratic politics anymore, go make a party that you don’t consider far right, I’ll just keep being normal.

Focusing on solutions to the issues that affect most people is what wins elections. All the pronouns in the world and leftists still won’t vote for Democrats in national elections because they can feel more self righteous by endlessly purity testing them over 2% differences in opinion. Please just go make your own party.

I’m genuinely not sure what makes you believe this aside from just being a brainrotted tankie who pays no attention to polls. Abolishing ICE is a mainstream/majority position among Independents and Democrats. But it’s easy for you to say “Democrats support this” when you engage in the exact sort of aim-gun-at-foot politics that prevents Democrats from ever gaining the margins that actually let them implement their agenda.

There is very obviously a training issue. That is not the larger issue, but the larger issue can’t be solved right now.

It *is* a mainstream position against democrats and independents.

There was a primary prior to the 2024 election, which Joe Biden won handily, and when he dropped out of the race the options were open convention or align behind a candidate. The DNC chose the latter. It may piss you off to realize that you’re literally playing into the literal stupidest conservative talking points imaginable, but party processes were followed at every step whether you want to admit it or cry about it.

He didn’t define culturally normal but the example he gave was focusing less on pronouns. If I had to guess he’s saying most Americans don’t engage with the dynamics of non binary or trans pronouns. They do engage with table top issues which is what he said we should focus on. Idk why we would think that’s supposed to be a dog whistle.

He literally describes his son jumping up and down excited about the prospect of Kirk coming, and then insisting he has to skip school to be there for his interview with Kirk. And then after that Newsom claims he was “just familiar”. Does that sound like just familiarity?
