      Anybody but the traiterous incumbant Gavin Newsom,

      He’s term-limited. He won’t be the next governor of California.

      https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/nation/california/2024/11/08/how-many-times-can-a-governor-be-elected-newsom-term-end/76128819007/

      Californians will vote for a new governor in 2026. That person will replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who cannot run for another term for this office. Newsom’s current term will end early January 2027, according to Ballotpedia.

      I read an article earlier suggesting that Newsom’s potentially trying to position himself for a Presidential run, which might explain the trans thing.

        if he runs for President in 2028 I’m not voting for him. I’ve been an obedient progressive and held my nose voting for Clinton, Biden and Harris, but as a trans woman there’s no way in hell I’m putting up with his shit, after the hate he’s spewed. I’m just done.

          Yeah, I don’t know. If the DNC/base collectively choose another centrist corporate republic-lite for the candidate, I’m going to fucking lose it. Can’t wait to see the voter blaming in 2029.

      Don’t forget when he helped clear homeless camps with the cops.Been garbage since he was mayor of SanFran with an equally garbage DA. Remember those days? I do. Three Strikes disproportionately harmed people of color and sex workers, especially the trans ones, by design.

          Honest typo, my bad.

          Newsom is reflecting the general population, that essentially believe trans people should not participate in sports (usually trans women* in women’s sports, though not always). I don’t blame him too much for following the popular belief, even if it’s wrong - that’s democracy. But his language doesn’t reflect disappointment either, he sounds exactly like JK Rowling. I will certainly be voting for Porter.
