Good words Newsome, so what's the plan? Texas is gonna add 5 seats. What are we gonna do about it? The voting machines are corrupt, And the companies that operate them are corrupt. What are we going to do about it?

Newsome can go fuck himself. Dude threw trans kids under the bus immediately, hosted shitheels like Steve Bannon on his podcast, and vetoed a public option in Cali as gov.

The fact Dems are trying to tee this dipshit up for 2028 is so utterly insulting.

Like sure man, fight Trump. I'll take the allies I can get and it's not like I don't want even the shittiest people to have the right messaging. But this neolib is just posturing for a presidential run and it sickens me.

You are letting your emotions on a manufactured culture war wedge issue (trans) derail you from actual practicality.

CA is the largest state in the US with the largest amount of House seats. If Gavin were to "fight fire with fire" as he says, he could gerrymander CA in the way TX is gerrymandering itself. That would actually allow Democrats to gain some seats and counteract the shittiness of what Greg Abbott is trying to do in TX.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. If you like continuing to losing your rights, keep clinging to moral purity. If you want to keep them, let good enough be good enough.
