The astroturfing of Newsom is so gross. Yet another losing Dem candidate in the mold of Hillary Clinton, albeit with a natural CHA stat that's a bit higher out the gate.

Someone said hes the villain from an 80s family movie and I can't unsee it.

Edit: can we start a campaign to kill CA governors at the end of their term? Is that the state legislature or do we need to make a federal law about this?

For me, one incident sums up why he'll lose: French Laundry. When offered a choice between a Republican vs a Democrat who does shit like that, Americans choose the Republican the vast majority of the time.

It's obvious Americans want a left populist. Maaasybe a racist one. Huey long would fucking kill, electorally. Sanders is too old, but could still an election. Would have won with historic numbers against trump.

Fuck anyone the democratic party supports. Aside from the heritage foundation, it is the blackest mark that could exist on their records.
