Bill Clinton passed a law defining marriage between a man and a woman. And you are saying this is an example of progress made by a centrist candidate. Isn’t this the law doing the opposite, here?
And you are saying that Gavin Newsom, who has spoken out against trans rights, can do something similar? Like assuming he does the same thing, like pass a “Defense of gender” bill to allow other states to not recognize gender transitions.
That seems like an unrelated point, right? Progress was made not by voting for status-quo candidates, but despite them.
Like to pick one of his examples. We can’t afford to have a candidate which isn’t going to make lasting and permanent impact on reducing greenhouses gasses. A status quo democratic candidate for 8 years is worse than a right-wing candidate for 8 years and a left-wing candidate for 4 years. Where the left-wing candidate can make permanent change, like closing coal mines or banning combustion engines.
I’m not sure if I completely follow.

Are you saying he will bring progress this way?
He’s saying that we’ve made progress in the 30 years since then, using that as an example of past public opinion.
And Newsom is an example of things ebbing, but the line of progress for trans rights has absolutely gone up overall.
Really cause we can’t have passports anymore
