we need an anti-electoralist megathread on Newsom where we detail all the receipts on his shit garbage stances

like I didn't save that video of him personally throwing a homeless person's stuff in the dumpster and that needs to be in there

Also this slimey fuck rode to prominence for being pro gay marriage legalization once it became politically convenient and not a second sooner. He's a slimy opportunistic worm. I have lived in California my whole life and this motherfucker made my skin crawl even back then. Literal Patrick Bateman politician.

I'm ready for the hate party. Gruesome Gavin is an actual argument against electoralism. All love to our NYC and NYC watching comrades either skeptical about electoralism or suspecting Zohran of being a lib, but Gavin makes Zohran look like Lenin returned.

The homeless encampment thing really made my skin crawl and is great evidence for the "both sides are the same" folks.

now this is a guy that knows how best to describe the absolute horrors of a trader joe's

[–] miz@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

trader joe's sells products from the zionist entity (they had to rebrand them to deemphasize their zionist origin though)

i'm just referring to a classic impression tompkins did of werner herzog.

sorry I was just being kinda obnoxious with a non sequitur

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 4 points 7 months ago

You've perfectly captured the Paul F Tompkins spirit, then. 😄

Please correct me if I'm misreading it.

I feel like you could say Kamala "didn't care" because she seems to have extremely few positions of her own. Newsom, on the other hand, seems to be actively taking positions against homeless and trans people, even if he doesn't phrase it like the fascists (at least in public)

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago

Newsom will personally show up to where you're sleeping and throw everything you own in the dumpster if he thinks it makes a good photo op.

I have no proof of this, but im pretty sure PFT is a socialist

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know Paul F. Tompkins was cool like that.

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I listened to an episode of so true with Caleb hearon that had PFT as a guest and he let slip some suggestions that he is indeed very cool

listening to this right now, thanks comrade

edit: love that he's also hating on newsom unprompted in this too haha

Proud to be a fan. Re-listening to the neighbourhood listen right now. There's an episode of the pandemic podcast he did with his wife where he lays out his profound disgust with the democratic party.

Also proud of when Scott Aukerman changed his running jk rowling gag from "just kidding rowling?" to "notorious TERF jk rowling?"
