Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Don't worry. The Democrats will come up with a totally useless ticket that will make them seem viable. My money is on Cuomo/Sinema or something equally atrocious.
Newsome and Gillibrand
Newsome and Fetterman
Newsom and Hochul
The only way they could pick someone as VP that is more reviled by nearly everyone would be to pick Kyrsten Sinema. Who started in the Green Party, by the way. Being affiliated with that party should probably be considered a red flag at this point.
Maybe Kirsten Gillibrand is nearly as toxic, for those that remember her when it comes to Al Franken.
Between Fetterman, Sinema, Cuomo, and Gillibrand it's hard to pick which one is more annoying.
They’ll run a Clinton/Occasio-Cortez ticket for the bulk of the year and then change it to Newsom/Cuomo in the last three weeks. If anyone can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory it’s the opposition party we call the Democrats.
Don't you think Cuomo would be just a bit too obvious, even assuming your conspiracy theory of Democrats trying to lose is true?
Democrats trying to lose is as much a conspiracy theory as gravity is the force that keeps you from floating away when you jump in the air.
That's just dumb
Vote in the primary, it's our best shot to have a fair one since Carter.
A lot of people are going to try and convince people not to vote in the Dem primary because of that.
That would require these people to do something more than just bitch into the void. Might be a bridge too far for them.
Newsom is the Next Man Up. Anyone else who runs in the Primary is really just auditioning for VP.
He's certainly the establishment pick.
