dems needs to stop with the purity tests

i was talking to a friend of mine today. we were talking about newsom and she had nothing good to say about him at all,calling him a transphobe,a corporate stooge,a republican lite,all the usual bullshit.

i asked why she considers him a transphobe and she said it was becasue hes not in favor of transwomen competeing in womens sports. she didnt like me pointing out that doesnt make him anti trans,there can be a serious debate about whether they should be allowed to compete. I know both sides and while i favor letting them compete I can at least understand the other side.

so i asked her who would you favor that has a realistic chance of beating the GOP. becasue that is heh only thing that matters. purity tests are what led to the orange maniac winning. a lot of dems were pissed at how she won the nomination and refused to vote for her. and we see the result.

is newsome the candidate with teh best chance in 2028? I dont know. priztker? aoc? I dont know who would have the best chance but its newsome then im 100% onboard team newsom. if its pritzker then go pritzker. I dont care who it is as long as they beat the GOP.

No candidate is perfect. but all that matters in winning.

In a "discussion" site that for years has been deep into the Proggier-Than-Thou bunker, even with 3500+ posts, moonshinegnomie is risking having a granite pizza delivered.

They, like their leaders and heros, make an art.of asking the wrong questions.

They think its about 'who', rather than 'what'.

Until they start getting on the 80 side of 80/20 issues, instead.of the 20 side, its going to be a toughbslog for them.

The electorate has spoken, over and over and over again. It may be the year 8020 (wouldnt that be fitting?) before they figure it out.
"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." - John Adams

Hillary Clinton will never be the President of the United States.

Have you considered sanity tests?
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

One Granite Pizza of PURITY comin' up!
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

How is saying "all that matters is [Democrats] winning" any better than a purity test? :o
