    Libs for the past few decades: Just vote harder guys! If we can get enough Democrats into congress so that Manchin and Sinema aren’t the deciding votes, then we’ll be able to do things like codify Roe V. Wade and guarantee some protections for trans people! Maybe we’ll even do that free healthcare thing you guys like so much

    California with its Democratic governor and its Democratic fucking supermajority:

      California with its Democratic governor and its Democratic fucking supermajority:

      Even worse since he’s the sole reason why it didn’t get made into law.

      Like literally everyone from a majority of the state population, the state senators, judges, and state representatives would’ve been fine with this bill, but it got vetoed’ because Gavin Newsom wants to run for President for ??? reasons and thinks that if he turns the bigotry dial that hayseeds in rural areas will like him more, when in reality either they don’t care or won’t like him because he looks like the California Liberal that a lot people don’t like.

      I thought the Medicare-for-All bill never got voted on in the Assembly, despite having nominal support from a supposed majority. Or do they change the way it dies every session just to toy with us?

    This same piece of shit was just complaining about a high capacity mag ban being overturned or something by saying the legislators “have no respect for human life”. Guess it goes to show who he considers human.

    This legislation would require a court, when determining the best interests of a child in a child custody or visitation proceeding, to consider, among other comprehensive factors, a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression.

    Never mind all the other legislation in other states and nationally that has been used to restrict trans rights that has passed, Newsom is sure that courts will strike down all of those eventually.

    A visual of his logic:

      Court Legislation
    Can provide human rights
    Can restrict human rights

    And if they don’t override his veto, he’s effectively correct, in California at least

    Probably the smart and correct move for him. He gets to keep the big voter base that is non-trans accepting Dems and centrists

        If doing the wrong thing could add at least one vote to his mental scoreboard, he’ll do it in a heartbeat. That slimy bastard has no soul behind his eyes.
