I don't feel like Gavin has the juice. He's sauceless. This ain't the stuff. It's greasy. He's all greasy. People will feel the grease creeping up on them. He's serving up some Mitt Romney energy. Everyone hated Mitt Romney. People who care about policy don't like him because either A) they're rich conservative assholes who think he's a communist who gives free money to undocumented immigrants or B) they actually pay attention to what he says about trans people and how he treats the homeless. If you vote based on vibes (i.e. a good 75% of the populace, at least) then you know the vibes are off even for many Californians and the further away you get from California the more people hate him. First for being from California, then for being a liberal, and finally just because the greasy aura his soul exudes.

Buckets and buckets of grease.

It's weird watching this kind of "focus group tested" MAGA stuff, it's both the regular MAGA slimy and the soulless corporate democrat slimy, it's the worst of both worlds. I can't imagine this actually appealing to any significant number of people, is there really an untapped group of voters in America who want this?

we're going to have nothing but republican presidents until amerika is over

I can smell the desperation from another continent

This is great strategy, normal people love MAGA

The Democrats after losing the 2028 election because they made the exact same mistakes as 2024

As someone who doesn't keep up with this shit but does occasionally see it escape containment, this is amongst the clingiest shit I have ever seen come out of a democrat candidate and if people with less context and/tolerance for cringe see this it will do massive damage to the dem brand.

"the dems are too out of touch", this is true just not in the way that the reactionaries say. Parties need messages that appeal to people even out of the context that terminally online folks have.

Excellent strategy decision to market yourself as US nationalist when 60+% of your (potential) base is favorable toward Palestine in that point a couple weeks back. I think it's only a matter of time until the DSA are as mainstream as Bernie was. Obviously not going to stop libshit from happening, cause anything actually cool will not gain any traction, but it's going to make things a lot more interesting.

Culture in the West is in the midst of a right wing "backlash" against neoliberalism, but the support for it can't hold indefinitely since capital will necessarily have to betray the support it gets from the lower and middle working classes. NYC isn't interesting for this, but it will be interesting to see what happens when Zohran 2.0 is running somewhere that has a measurable amount of cross-party ballots.

Democrats will cream at that sort of cross-party performance cause their ideal is winning exactly 50%+1 of the vote in 50%+1 of the elections.

I hope they actually try to organize a Gavin boat parade. You know it would be a bunch of fuckhead libs in kayaks and on stand up paddle boards all getting swamped the instant a larger boat creates any sort of wake.

Gavin Newsom stealing from the MAGA communism playbook smdh

It'd be kinda funny if he successfully co-opted the slogan, since it'd piss off Haz et al

So much cringe and people love it

Following the is not leading. Weak. Unimaginative.

Even the Red ballcaps? Really? I mean your team's color is .

I guess he's happy to announce he's a secret Republican . Might explain all the "supermajority proof" vetos.

me and my resistance homies eagerly awaiting the new blue wave

Thinking back nostalgically to the time when the only difference between the parties was aesthetics

Make America Gay Again

time is a flat circle...

This looks narcissistic. Last campaign I remember such dem narcissism was Hillary

Give me convenience, or give me death!
