This is why I dont want him as a presidential candidate. 😒 We cant allow people to get hunted down so his chances of winning are better. MAGA wants to force facism upon us and I'm not willing to let establishment dems move their moral compass.

Mark my words, he would NOT hold anyone, including trump, accountable. He and the other paid-fpr establishment dems would say, "Oh, we need to move on as a country." No we don't, we need accountability, STARTING with the dems!

Newsom is a neoliberal. Neoliberals are conservatives. He is controlled opposition. He will try to trick the public into believing he is progressive in 2028. He is a pathological liar and conman just like any other conservative.

Basically he said that he thinks this should be left up to the governor, whoever that is, and no matter how righteous and well intentioned, the issue shouldn’t be decided for all time this way, eroding future governors’ authority.

What a spineless position. Why pass any laws at all? Why not leave everything up to the whims of whoever is in office?

Doesn’t the legislature decide issues all the time and enshrine those decisions for the future in law? Isn’t that what they do? Why the fuck should extradition for providing healthcare be any different? Isn’t he “eroding the authority” of the legislature in saying no, we should leave this as governor’s discretion, just in principle?

I’m not just hating Newsom reflexively here. I seriously don’t understand his argument, despite trying.

This is why I don't want him to run for president. He is not a progressive.

I can't wait to get yelled at by democrats when i refuse to vote for this shit head in a few years.

For someone like Newsom there will never be a right time or manner to implement protections for trans people. And there will always be some clever excuse for which to cling. But when they are called to protect the interests of the powerful, they will break any precident or boundry to achieve those aims.

He wants to be your president, wooooo! Asshole. Tried to force state workers back to the office, too.

Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, the lead sponsor of the bill, noted 18 governors have “signed identical provisions into law without fanfare”

DNC voters when they let this guy through and lose again:

I suspect that earlier in his governorship he was willing to go along more with the Democratic legislature because he knew it would not risk his re-election. Now that he has his eyes on the presidency he is going straight down the middle, which these days is basically the Right.

So he vetoed the “You can’t hunt down doctors across state lines because they gave trans people health care” law, because it… “sets a bad precedent”.

How about the precedent of not hunting down doctors for… being doctors…???

How about the precedent of not being insane fascists?????

Once again, the only thing leftist can be reprimanded for is being right too early.

"Governor vetoes bill that would limit the powers of the Governor."

I'm so shocked.

Who needs the GOP when the dems are like this?

Hey liberal dems, great job at losing the queer vote.

No, we have third parties. I wouldn’t trust anyone that throws me under the bus, in a dumb attempt to score points with voters that would never vote that candidate in the first place.

Fuck fascism. This is how we succumb to fascism. Liberal politicians try to appease fascists.

Fuck you newsome

But I was told that voting Blue No Matter Who was the way to protect my trans friends, now what do I do? /S

Dearest ShitLibs: as of today, September 23, you have 160 days remaining to find a candidate to nominate who isn't a genocidal ghoul and won't throw trans people under the bus. If you can't manage that, then you don't get to pretend like the people who've been saying this for a decade now are somehow betraying you and the nation by not voting for whatever Wall St friendly monster you've allowed your party to nominate.

The Democratic party has put us in this position and for that, they have my deepest disappointment.

And I thought he was coming around on transgender rights, sigh Fuck you Newsom

This guy should have never had any sort of power

I sincerely hope that a progressive governor replaces this shitbird. Newsom might be better than any given member of the GOP, but that bar is in hell.

This guy is also horrible but the bar is so low these days.... The democratic party is also responsible for the mess we are in. They stopped being a party of the people long time ago. Need to purge the Schumers, Pelosis and Newsoms.

What a fucking cuck

Let's hope for a veto override.
