Wny are people treating Newsom as if he is already The Candidate
...when trans ppl tell you they won't vote for Newsom, as a Democrat, your first reflex shouldn't be to berate trans ppl. if you think that way, then you are either a transphobe or a BAD COALITION PARTNER. seriously if you want Dems to win, THEN WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ALIENATE PART OF YOUR COALITION?

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

This is a direct violation of long-standing US policy toward Taiwan.

Some of y’all must have a blocking kink. It’s weird — you’re intentionally rude, obstinate or worse — in my replies as it daring me to block you as it gains you something. I won’t remember two minutes from now.
