Then I hope there's stiff competition so you can not hate your options.
Same, Gavin Newsom is just... No, just no.
As funny as his "Look at me, I'm Donald Trump, but on the Left!" routine is, it's only funny for five minutes and is straight up not enough to propel him to the front of the pack. Most Conservatives straight up don't even get the joke anyway, it goes way too over their heads to be an effective burn.
I really want Gavin to be this champion, standing up to Trump and paving the way for fixing the broken greed-powered automaton that is America. But all I see is an opportunistic fascist who's willing to sell out transpeople to the Right in exchange for more Nazis showing up on his podcast.
Idk, I do think there's a good chance he'll be the frontrunner. He's also probably my last pick if I had to come up with a list, even below Harris, who I strongly detest (she was dead last on my preference list when she ran for the nomination). I dislike almost everything about him, which means he'll probably be the nominee.
I also hope for that.
