Sorry to miss it...we're on our way to Lancaster for the weekend. Looks like a great turnout! Thanks for sharing pics.

Actually, I don't misunderstand you. I agree for the most part, but I don't believe we're done with the two-party system just yet. I believe right-minded folks have to take over the DP and rebuild from the inside. One of the first orders of bus: Citizens United and the Electoral College have to go.

worthwhile, but we can't do that without political power.

I've said this numerous times now, but I do not support Newsom as a candidate. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate his efforts: 1) suing the T admin for using federal troops in LA, 2) trolling T online, 3) fighting back with gerrymandering.
I agree that now is the time to build something...

Good to know. Thank you.

That is our only hope.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I' just angry because I've been attacked by horrible people today.
I understand what you're saying, but our refusal to fight back has gotten us in this mess. We can't unilaterally disarm and let this happen. We have to fight and hope we can fix it once we've win.

But he is not suitable for president. We need someone without ego who truly empathizes with and fights for the people.

Thank you for your kind reply. It's the first one i've received in approximately 30 today. Conversation doesn't have to be adversarial. I think people have forgotten that.
For the record, I am not pro-Newsom. I am simply happy that he is a) suing the Trump admin, 2) trolling him, 3) gerrymandering.

Seriously? God, what is wrong with you? My values have weathered well more than your feeble condescension. Nice try. Bye.

Ok, goodbye. I don't need your self-righteous condescension. I know who I am and most certainly do not.

I'm sorry if I came off condescending. That is certainly not my intention. I have been attacked relentlessly on this thread. I might be a little defensive at the moment.

What's with all the assumptions? I am not deluded. I do not want Newsom as president. I hope with my whole being that an amazing progressive candidate emerges.
Why are words being put in my mouth over and over again? Imagining a scenario doesn't make it real. And I haven't told anyone what to do.

You know, there are crappy people in every community. Thanks for the reminder. I love the Trans community, and I will continue to fight for every one of them. Even you. (Or maybe you're a bot.)

I am learning every day, and my heart is in the right place. We may disagree on some things, but I believe in your right to freedom in human rights. And I will fight for them until the day I die.

By the way, I never tell people what to do. I am simply a person with a voice and a perspective. Twenty years ago, I didn't even know about the Trans community. Now, I know people in that community. I am invested in their well-being. I may not get everything right. But I am damn while trying.

community (and all communities). I put in the time. I use my privilege. I don't expect appreciation for that. I will fight regardless. Even when I'm called names and belittled. I may go away and shed a few white lady tears, but then I get back up and fight on. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇺🇸

Can you agree that we don't know each other so you have no idea what my intentions are? That you're making massive assumptions about a person fighting in this cause based on a few words on social media? This forum does not always allow for very necessary nuance.

I am not endorsing him for president. Never said I was. Didn't ask you to support him. Not sure where this is coming from.

I'm not sure how many times I have to say this...apparently a lot. I do not endorse the Cali governor for president. I never said I did. What I said is that he is being an effective tool against Trump right now. That doesn't mean we have to support him for president in 2028.

The alternative is allowing a dictatorship to engulf our country. In that scenario, policy only leads to death.
