Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.

Assuming there is another election in the US after all this, Newsom is definitely going to be the toothless, bullshit democratic nominee and they're going to badpost so much about how they killed fascism while he continues to give cash to people with more money than god
"Both the left and the right hate my guts and want to drag me through the street, I must be doing something correct."
Democrats shitting the fucking bed ONCE AGAIN
I swear to god we need to just torch the fucking country of it's stupid fucking politics and start from scratch, that would be nice
It's an illegitimate country on stolen land anyway. Nothing wrong with running it back and starting over.
They cling so hard to the two party thing that they reinterpret their history as evidence that the system has been working “for the people”
Even when that history is the history of the two parties swapping sides, changing names, and shuffling their decks mostly over the business of chattel slavery and it’s racist consequences. “For the people” my ass.
Even the liberal history has this shit. This is them just willfully misinterpreting it because they are boneheaded ideologues.
The US has also had eras of three parties or only a single party (insert one party state quote here). Democrats want to cling to something that's younger than their institution.

It’s like if the Subway corporation had fallen on its own sword to save Jared Fogle
You can't have a free and just democracy with the wealth inequality of billionaires, these systems are incompatible.
This dude will be the White Obama and will be a wall against progress if he gets any further up the ladder.
I don't know, I kinda doubt even Obama could Obama his way out of this one now. "Keep doing the same shit and steadily make things worse" is becoming less and less viable every year, and I think we crossed that line sometime prior to the last election.
Obama's administration was at least self-aware enough to promise "Change" to people, even if they kept backpedaling on it. Seems like the dems these days aren't even capable of lying about meaningless superficial changes anymore.
Gavin Noose'em really out there trying to sell some rope.
“Sowwy, but the porks will keep their tax exemption. If I taxed them they would go on strike and take away jobs in protest! Unionization doesn’t work, btw.”
similar thread on r/california right now, take a shot for every comment you see discussing how they're against a wealth tax because of muh capital flight
let the alcohol poisoning free me from this place
I love how they completely gloss over the fact that you can't just rip up all of the assets that you own in a particular location and bring it with you. Fine. Leave. Forfeit all of the assets you can't load onto a plane.
The democrats are really going to offer Plastic Trump as an alternative to Trump in 2028.
Newsom: "I think ICE should only be allowed to detain people under 'reasonable suspicion', and when they excercise lethal force they need to fill out the appropriate form"
Trump: "slurs"
The average fascist: "Whoa, whoa, this guy is an extreme leftist!"
I just had the darkest lathe idea and I’m actually gonna keep this one to myself
I’m through giving satan ideas for free
Dem advisor: newson sir if u want to win u have to learn how to compromise and appeal to the right. U should say slurs too
We have focus grouped slurs and here's a list of the ones that get the most positive response
Can’t wait to be called a bourgeois elitist by CHUDs in the future for not saying slurs.
U dont understand the real working class. Slurs appeal to real workers who dont care about wokeness
DNC staffers are already poring through books from the 1800s to rediscover slurs lost to time, there's nothing we can do to stop them
Joe teaching the new gen of the DNC about all the rare and legendary slurs his grandpa used to use
unless it's a homeless or Trans person then they're allowed to go ham
But his tweets are so snarky!
How very democrat of him
I cant wait for Tom Steyer to take over for him 
Americas Next President 
It would be much more beneficial in the long-run to just seize their assets tbh
it's constitutional too
I'm sure that's what he'll do instead
America desperately needs genuine progressive representation. Hopefully Mamdani is the first of a whole wave of progressives coming in, tax the billionaires out of existence asap!
If Mamdani is the vanguard of progressivism we're fucked
Who would be a better example then? Genuine question
There aren't any in elected office in America. Elected officials will not be the vanguard.
I'll keep working on the aviation for swine program, sir! I'm sure it will work this time!
