More empty rhetoric from a thoroughly establishment dem.
I wish we could shunt off all these warmed-up press releases from the newsom 28 campaign to an enough newsom spam community.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, that's how I see him too. Assuming we even have elections by then, he's gonna keep up this charade through a 2028 primary bid where all real establishment challengers magically drop out, immediately switch to more centrist rhetoric for the general and claim to the left that he's just playing ball, and then proceed to have zero progressive accomplishments in office if he gets there.
(Un)fortunately, that's not gonna happen. Even if American democracy survives the midterms, it's not gonna survive an establishment Dem in the general.
anyone pretending that the 8 dissenting Dems are acting in good faith is either delusional or part of the problem
Yeah, for all his slick press releases, Newsom very much fits the latter category.
He's a Neoliberal demagogue shill for billionaires trying to launch a presidential bid. That's all there is to it.
He's much better at communicating and dealing with the present day republican tactics than most in the party, but we know that, at heart, they all have corporate greed as their master.
I'm not coming in to punch anybody in the face
Well those are the old rules. The new rules say you really outta be punching some of these fascist pricks in the face.
So far the only one who's been punched in the face has been Elon. And look how soon after that happened that he stepped back from government shit. It clearly works.
Sometimes, violence IS the answer.
It’s the American way.
You can out chicken a party that have zero empathy and actively hates the poor. Things were past the 30 day point and still republicans didnt give a fuck or care to negotiate. Trump is so senile he doesnt even know what's happening.
Dems got their messaging win, they made their point, they won elections and got another year of assistance for the people who need it. Which runs out right before midterms.
