We need to stop plastering this guy's name over everything.
He's trying to stay as relevant as possible so that useful idiots vote for him over AOC in 2028.
Do not fall prey.
There should be posters everywhere reading "KICK A HOBO FOR NEWSOM!"
He's a Feinstein protege and a nasty pro-corporate turd.
As a certified Newsom hater, I approve this message
This is exactly what I've been thinking. He wants to keep his name in the news. He's not who we need, but I appreciate that he has teeth.
Back during Sanders' campaign, there was so much momentum, but he was blackballed from coverage. All of sudden, media was telling everybody that Biden was the top candidate. Tf!? Nobody was talking about Biden being a serious candidate until it looked like there was no choice. He was a fucking joke as a VP.
Newsom is starting early, and yeah sure, he's leagues better than what we have now (as president,) but come on, he's still a shit candidate. Almost anyone is going to look appealing compared to our current president. Let's not go for the loudest son of a bitch just because he's loud. Let's not box ourselves in this early by the "we need to rally around the strongest option" argument. We've got another three years of eating this shit sandwich. There are so many better options than Newsom. Buttigieg, maybe AOC, let's see how this shakes out. But come on, Newsom? Really?
Asking in good faith, will a Newsom supporter explain why he might be the best option over others? I'll honestly keep an open mind and ask questions to learn.
In the same way that the clap is leagues better than ass cancer.
Technically the truth!
they are afraid of another NYC situation in the presidential elections. more than likely they will try to work with the gop to sabotage another more left than gavin" candidate if they cant do it themselves.
Good luck finding an actual Newsome supporter. I live in CA, and voted Newsome. The thing is, I only voted Newsome in the General. I don't remember who I voted for in the primary, doesn't matter. They didn't win.
As far as I can tell, from talking with people, that's how Newsome got all his votes. I'm sure someone out there actually likes him, but I've yet to meet them.
Same could be said for lying Todd Gloria, who ran on housing first policies, and just rounded up and jailed all the homeless people in San Diego
It's America, we're not going to elect a female president because a third of the country is sexist and another third doesn't realize they're sexist.
This talking point is used exclusively by people who are happy to hold all women back if it means preventing one particular woman from running.
Oof, you fell prey.
Welp, looks like I'll be sitting next election out, again. Have fun with JD vance, you smarty smarties.
Why would you sit out the next election?
I changed my mind.
If democraps nominate another corporate stooge, I'm just going to vote republican.
Fuck this bullshit.
dont come complaining again, if you voted republican and it gets worst for you.
Ah the old "cutting off your nose to spite your face" move. Can't say I agree with the strategy, but I understand the frustration.
