If Gavin Newsom is the person the Democratic party chooses for their nominee I will not be voting. I do not fucking care. Having him will be exactly the same as having JD Vance or whoever the fuck the Republicans throw up into their slot.

That sounds familiar

I hope it's not familiar. I hope they learn that running these kind of candidates will lead to defeat instead of just losing every time like idiots.

I got out and voted for both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris in the general election for President. We're still in the situation we're in right now.

At some point the Democratic party needs to be forced to realize that appealing to the right is not going to win them anything.

Sadly they'd rather lose than learn that

It’s the candidates job to win your vote. Run a shitty candidate, you will lose.

Look, either vote or riot, don't diddle in the middle!
