This is the candidate libs are going to be screaming at you to vote for in 2028. Don’t let him make it past the primary.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'll go with Capt. Mark Kelly if he slips in.

Jesus christ the future is grim if we only get to pick between zionists

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the centrist zionist who votes to support "business" over his constituents needs any way he can? I guess if you loved Biden he's pretty much the same thing. Good luck with that I guess. If all you are voting for is that he's ex nasa, he's your obvious choice. But he's pretty much the same as Newsom then, how do you differentiate them? One is bald and the other not?

TBF, Newsom's slicked back hair makes him look greasy af.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 day ago

That's who I'm looking at, too.

[–] Archr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

There is no way in hell I would vote for Newsom. I will vote literally anyone else (not that my vote matters much since I am in Cali).

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'm hoping that he won't be the candidate. He might be better than a Republican, but that's the only positive thing I can think of. There are so many better Democratic prospects.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 day ago

He's definitely going to run. EVERYBODY is going to run, and the Progressives are going to do the best.

Lots of California residents who believed lock downs during COVID were necessary also seem to not care that he, among other politicians gathered at fancy restaurants at the same time

Newsom’s popularity was in the shitter for a reason before he started memeing on Trump.

[–] 7101334@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Don't forget that he also vetoed unemployment pay for striking workers and vetoed the decriminalization of natural psychedelics + LSD + MDMA (in other words, the guy from the "my body my choice" party wants to take away your freedom for making choices with your body that he disapproves of... because he's too much of a hollow suit to ever handle a proper shroom trip)

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep guy future right then Regan and Democrats are going tell us how he is the answer. This fuckwit is drolling to get to do half the shit Trump is getting away with.

Same play as Mark Carney in Canada. A rebranded Conservative spouting liberal bullshit.

Mark Carney in Canada. A rebranded Conservative

Well to be fair, the liberals always were the center right corporate party, and Carney could better be called a fiscal conservative. But our conservatives have gone so far off the insane right-wing deep end that we were left with no choice in the last election. Carney actually proved that when he put forth a conservative budget and forced the 'conservatives' to vote against it, begging the question "so what are you then if you are not conservatives?"
