"stunning betrayal" wdym my back literally has a slot for knives on it labeled "liberals only"
Scratch a liberal a fascist bleeds
You're doing great buddy. Keep this up and you'll be the Democratic presidential candidate in no time 
Newsom let a medicare for all type bill expire on his desk that he has promised to pass
And now this
But neolibs will say it's better than the alternative!! Which at this point is basically just a gun to our heads

It was passed overwhelmingly in the legislature. So the legislature is going to override the veto, right? 
There hasn't been a veto override in California since 1980 apparently.
Fucking worm. 
its not betrayal if they were never an ally in the first place
Libs defending this are no better than

Governor Bateman strikes again 
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
Looked up threads about this on Reddit. Only found three threads on it. Nothing in /r/politics
- /r/transgender was going hard against it
- fucking /r/lgbt was justifying the action and saying its good because blah blah liberal bullshit.
- /r/california_politics used different reasoning but still justified it.
Had brunch with work colleagues (plenty "international" which means mostly anglosphere tech sphere aligned) and the majority defended his actions. Funnily they were all "allies" and the queers on the table were all against it. Which is kinda how it often is. The arguments were those of a "negative peace", too.

Remember when that person was here yesterday whining at us that the Democrats at least let trans people exist? I remember.

Bullets are more effective than votes, and we've got a huge surplus here in the US.
Presidential ambitions
Oh yeah? Well I just veto'd a bill protecting Gavin Newsom.
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
I think I have to vote harder
The ballot or the also the ballot.
