In reply to the discussion: Newsom explains why he had MAGA podcast guests... [View all]angrychair
(10,723 posts)31. This is an outrageous statement
Implying that someone won't vote for the Democrat because that isn't what was said. Also find it interesting that you ignored his anti-trans position. Any time you are punching down to a small, already marginalized group and using them as a scapegoat, you already lost me.
Also TSF won't be on the ballot ever again. To imply otherwise is ridiculous.
For me I already stated down thread that I would not vote for him in a primary and I would advocate for just about ANY Democratic Party candidate but him. No matter what I have and will always vote for the Democratic Party nominee.

Nothing. He simply made it clear fighting about 5 cases a year of trans in sports
