If Newsom wins he picks the DNC chair and he'll pick someone solidly in the oligarchs pocket.
Don't forget he started 2025 off by having Kirk and Bannon on his podcast and sucking them off about how smart they are and how they're right on "social issues" like if LGBTQ people should be allowed to exist in society...
It's fucking dissapointing that people keep eating out of his hand for social media posts an intern is posting.
It's satisfying to see someone give Trump a taste of his own medicine.
I know Newsome isn't on my side but I can still enjoy watching him give Trump a black eye.
It would be so satisfying to see...
Gavin (successfully) tear down Trump...
Hype himself up for a presidential run...
And get primaried by someone who actually gives a shit about the working class.
Stop it I'm in public and its embarrassing to get this aroussd looking at my phone.
And get primaried by someone who actually gives a shit about the working class.
He 100% will, and if say it's a safe bet he pulls a Cuomo and goes independent.
He already tried to pivot to maga once, "attacking" trump is the back.plan, but he'll gladly work with trump after losing the Dem primary like RFK did and Cuomo is now.
But it's not even him...
It's an intern, maybe someone Cali's tax dollars are actually paying...
To shit post on a social media platform owned by Elon Musk, generating him profit while sucking up oxygen in people's limited amount of fucks to give while their personal lives are in shambles.
He isn't "fighting" trump, they're working in concert at the behalf of the same oligarchs to ensure that no matter what letter wins, the wealthy never lose.
They're doing it this early, because the current DNC chair isn't just a supporter of Mamdani, but he's been backing Omar Fateh for over a year, starting back when he was state chair over there.
We can get into the details of you want, but it's vitally important we don't let the oligarchs name both party's candidates. And this is literally the best chance we've had in about 50 years of Dem voters solidifying control of the DNC again.
Like, this has been a fight since before Carter was prez. If we settle for a neoliberal they get the party and they will immediately lock it down even tighter. The "victory fund" was incredibly close to just throwing the party out and letting the money call all the shots. A chair gets 4 years, we'll lose all momentum like in Obama's first term when he refused to nominate a chair.
I would only support Gavin Newsom's candidacy if he became homeless for a few years and demonstrated personal growth and a capacity for empathy from the experience.
spoiler
I'm exaggerating, but it'd take a lot for me to become convinced he is a suitable candidate in our dire situation.
Best he can do is Starting from Zero and becoming a millionaire in a year to show you anyone can do it (as long as they have a clean bill of health and a college education and connections from their time in office and...)
"See!? It's easy, the American Dream™ is alive and well!"
As I recall, the one guy that tried to do that used personal connections he had made before "giving up all his wealth", and he still couldn't make it a year because it was affecting his health or something.
I’d settle for him not being a major shareholder for the power utility that he’s supposed to be protecting his citizens from. In completely unrelated news, we pay the highest energy prices on planet earth. What a coincidence.
These 20s sure do be roaring
Looks like the 1930s in the US ...
Please stop doing the DNC's work for them by amplifying Gavin Newsom. We need real change in this country, not a return to the status quo.
Thank the gods someone realizes this.
Newsom is a solid status quo maintainer with 2 or 3 senior edgelord staff.
Can we not be promoting this guy?
This is a distraction from better candidates.
Canwe please promote a better candidate?
Well, we could promote AOC.
Except centrists are saying women can't win. Because they're willing to hold back all women to prevent AOC in particular from running.
Gavin Newsom is not the answer to Donald Trump. He's a lackey to big corporations.
AOC on the other hand
Kinda weird to host a themed party to not dress up? Like... generate an asthetic to behold for yourself, but then not actually participate... kinda spoils the effect for others. But not you, I guess.
Maybe the theme was actually 1920’s gangsters which means his costume is spot on.
The system won't be the tiniest bit less corrupt with newsom at the wheel.
I'm not a Newsom fan but this is just an absurd thing to say. It would be a feat for anyone to be as corrupt as Trump. If you wrote a book with a villain as openly corrupt as Trump, it would be panned as unrealistic.
Really?
Really? Not the tiniest bit?
Well, you’re wrong. But let’s start fighting now because whatever he is, he’s getting traction and The Savior of The Left is once again nowhere to be found. We’ll have three full years of “He sucks” b/w “Oh you want more fascism then?” And then we’ll get more fascism because the left is utterly incapable of uniting.
If AOC jumps in, though, dissent will not be brooked. Because you fuckers are so goddamned insufferable she’ll be “supporting genocide” and “transphobic” before the ink is dry on her campaign document. And that will not stand, man.
Stop acting like some corrupt dipshit doing PR shit means they've been crowned as the nominee. This is the time to keep them from being chosen FOR US. It's not infighting to point out someone who would be an awful choice to undo the fascist shit...would be terrible for those reasons
Absolutely insane that America has been taught to demand all the worst parts of certain communist ideology without any possible benefit under the guise of protectionism just so a bunch of white me can don't have to confront the fact they have no personality or empathy and money doesn't fill that hole
Are men supposed to be wearing caps indoors, or seated at the table? I thought you were supposed to take your hat off.
Not when you're rich enough that no-one can talk back and you have a bald spot you're shamed of.
Goddamn costume ball while the Titanic sinks.
I’m surprised this man has time to tweet given all the time he dedicates to personally destroying the possessions of the most vulnerable people in his state.
How is this a meme?
It's as much a meme as 99% of the other "Text with a political message" posts there are on here.
Gatsby turned out all right in the end, but I don't think the same will be said of Mr. Orange.
