They're gonna do nothing, run Newsom, and blame the left if it's even a close race
Newsom will run but these early contenders use to get creamed in the primaries just because they take up too much spot light in the lead up and people are sick of them come voting.
I could be wrong, newsom definitely seems like the play for the establishment guys. There's a bunch of lower rank guys in red districts that are making plays too, though.
Ill vote for a hamsandwich if it means trump is gone but I dont expect any major change. Major change will only come if the people do something, not polioticians.
He wants to be the left and center guy. I think he’ll end up being neither.
Honestly, really need to temper your expectations in general. Say we put jesus christ himself in charge of the country. Do you think he would be able to get anything substantial done short of calling on his god powers?
We need consistent control. We need to invalidate every gop win. This is long term project. No 4 year admin can take it all on.
From an accelerationist pov we need to inflict pain on the country by driving it off the rails so they can proceed with an agenda.
Its kinda hopeless from that perspective. You'll never see the change enacted in your life time so its almost like it doesn't exist. Except, if we were kind people, we would want to be kind to everyone. Even the people we never meet.
Another pov, much less popular, we throw down with our neighbors and build our communities in a way that serves everyone. We give money power. We give people power. We give the government power. We could just weild that power ourselves.
Yeah I hear what you’re saying. I wonder though if we should even stop thinking about getting an admin in to fix everything in 4 years and get an admin in who will play the actual game that’s afoot right now: the battle for the soul of America. The far right pitch to Americans is clear, it resonates with many, and it has an army of mouthpieces repeating it daily. I don’t even know what the left’s pitch is. I know what I think it should be, but who out there is even articulating any vision? I think the right is up against general reality most of the time. But that’s not enough/
The leftists are being puppeted right now. They so desperatey want a voice they let the internet give them one and its not their own. Its the internet with a lefty mask on.
Leftest need to stop fighting the tide and learn to float. Thats just a useless metaphor but what im saying is they have to play the game not just critique it.
