I look forward to liberals shaming me in 2028 for not voting for the Gavin Newsom/Ben Shapiro ticket.

I don't regret it. That's exactly what they're doing, and apologizing for it just makes you seem like an insufferable douche.
"I apologize for not saying what everyone wants to hear 100% of the time. Sometimes I'll say what this group wants to hear, and it pisses off this other group. So I say something that pleases that other group, and now the first group is pissed. I just want you all to like me so I can be the tyrant one day."
Israel is one of the worst Apartheit states in the world. There is no need to apologize for the truth.
The worst
I regret Gavin Newsom.
Can we just dwell on how fucking weird it is for a governor of a state to "revere" a country on the other side of the world that has no relation to him at all, genocide or not?
Honest title: California presidential hopeful and guy channeling used car salesman energy, Gavin Newsom, regrets disqualifying himself from that sweet, sweet AIPAC funding.
You don't understand, he needs to use that money to further his own personal interests
Two faced traditional corporate politician. All bark no bite. Sad that he's being upselled as THE democratic nominee
Maybe they cut his allowance for a month...
Turd Sandwich tries to take a popular stance, regrets his attempt.
If this becomes the D candidate for prez in 2028, we're cooked.
You're already cooked.
Shit Americans say: "Oh no it's clearly the Dems who are wrong, it's not some fat old man running around naked swinging his tiny dick"
"It's clearly Hillarybidenkamalas fault I could not get off my ass and vote"
Etc
Do you think the DNC tat proffered such jems as Schumer, Clinton, Pelosi, Harris and rejected Sanders for one, is capable of coming to a real opposition? Republicans and Democrats alike are both in the pocket and under control of the Israeli Fascists. You're already cooked because no one wants to say and run on the clear and obvious truth for fear of pissing off the Israeli puppetmasters. Oh noes! We'll be called anti-semitic.
(Just to be clear, Jews are cool, as long as they aren't supportive of the genocidal fascist apartheird potential of Israel.)
What's Schumer job again? My dude, you're already cooked.
You have it backwards. Israel is America's foreign policy. Our government wants them to be the big swinging dick in the middle east because it furthers the economic interests of capital. Corporate dems know that genocide looks bad but they fundamentally want to keep our rabid attack dog armed and dangerous.
When I said we, I mean the collective us. I'm in Canada. We cooked too. 😄
Yep, Carney refuses to say shit about Israel's atrocities and is doubling down on defense spending 🤑🤢
Yeah, I have no interest in becoming the 51st state but I also have no interest in fighting a protracted guerilla war under US occupation so I'd really strongly prefer choosing the path where neither of those things have to happen so we can think about eventually reintegrating our economy into a symbiotic relationship with our friendly and cooperative neighbor.
I'm not holding my breath for it, and I'm not sure we're ever going to go back to the way things were. But rest assured we're not looking forward to a future where an authoritarian US government is wielding a terrifying sword of Damocles hanging over our heads either. We really, really want you guys to fix your shit, please. Best of luck, honestly. It matters a lot to us.
Edit to add: And to be clear, I agree Gavin Newsom suuuuuuucks, if you guys end up with him as a presidential candidate we are all cooked.
Same.
Still much better than what is going on right now
No, because if Newsom runs he'll lose, badly. Giving a corporate stooge like Newsom the nomination would be tantamount to giving Republicans the presidency (or, at best, getting a one-term semi-lull before fascism comes back stronger than ever in 2032).
They could have had some normal politician that says normal politician things. With some overly diplomatic stance on Israel.
They chose whatever this is supposed to be right now. They chose genocide PLUS Trump Riviera on top of the bones.
Newsome is AIPAC's litte bitch.
Gavin Newsom regrets accidentally using the word "apartheid" to refer to apartheid
I regret Gavin Newsom
I'd rather see a third Trump term than that asshole; and unlike the other guy, I'm not kidding or being sarcastic. It's like hoping the drunk driver swerves into oncoming traffic rather than continue barreling toward an elementary school's fieldtrip group. The ratchet effect is in full force and these career/corporate dems are complicit at best.
No more stalling or stand-still 'harm reduction' strategic voting. Fix your shit or die trying America, because calling a brief time-out isn't going to work.
Do you want little genocide? or big genocide? If you don't vote and choose which of the two piles of shits you want to support, we will take all your tax money to get you extra ethnic cleansing and extra genocide
Wow, we've come so far in the last 20 years... In 2006, Jimmy Carter's book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid was released. Thank goodness we've come together as a society to figure out how best to refer to the domination of the Palestinian people 🙄.
I think the time has come to sumply call American Zionists traitors.
Here he is, another hypocritical politician. Unfortunately, they are all the same, greedy for power and money, whether it is Trump or this poor guy. "Cheap politicians are bought cheaply" (an old proverb)
...I welcome trumps third term...Jesus fuck do not put this man at the fore of the democrat party...if wishes were horses..
As far as I can tell, it's either him or Kamala. The establishment Dems are horrible ...
...the ruling class seems to need pruning...
/s beaus you fucks need it
fuck gavin newsome, fuck talking heads, fuck settling for less because the 2 parties are playing bad guy worse guy controlled opposition for us in media charades while serving the same corporate sponsors in unity against us behind the scenes. People are too comfortable and not mad enough. The issues i care about are not being addressed by any of these fucks. The american populace is so pathetic these fucks are getting away with the dumbest shit. Comfort addicted spineless fools as far as the eye can see, making excuses and whining about trivial personal shit while people all over the world face real extreme violent consequences. People have no idea how priveledged they are, how eating out of the trash in the US is luxurious, people are scared of silly things they have never had to really be tested and see how capable they are of being amd doing more and see their discusting complicit way of life of something they cant live without. Scared fucking pigs that dont know what real fear is, addicted to status, comfort, convenience, incapable of seeing beyond their tiny perceptions to cultivate an adventurous spirit for a righteous cause, that they themselves will benefit from. Talking head corporate tool jerk offs will rule the pigpin of the cattle populace as long as people choose to be mud wallowing pigs instead of waking up to their human potential and putting effort into facing the hardship and discomfort and inconvenience of fighting this shit for real, because the reality is people are going to suffer and die either way, might as well make it part of a meaningful fight for freedom instead of a watch it all get worse from your gestation crate.
