Where did all the newsom stans go?
EDIT: the number of downvotes is the number of people who agree with performative cruelty to homeless people.
nobody likes Newsome, but in contrast to the rest of the Dems.... he's actually effective at getting under the GOPs skin. That's the whole thing.
GOP doesn't give a shit about Jefferies yapping on the floor for hours. They don't care about another "strongly worded letter" from Schumer. And everyone, EVERYONE, hates Pelosi....
Yes, we all want more people like Mamdani. His policies are everything that I want, that most of us want. But you'd also have to be politically ignorant to not realize that his platform is on shakey ground nationwide. You can do something like Mamdani in a blue stronghold like NY. But across the nation? At this moment in time? No chance, you might as well just hand GOP the keys to power ad infinitium.
I don't like Newsome, but I'm not trying to throw the whole country in the toilet waiting for the world to come around to Mamdani. Playing this "all or nothing" game is getting real people killed and lives ruined.
As long as cynicism is the logic for choosing candidates, we are never going to see real leaders at the helm of the party. But yeah, let's continue to not have faith voters can do better because the alternative sounds exhausting.
