Then it's over. Any chance he had is gone.
First time, huh? Or is this sarcasm
What progressive posturing? Nothing he done last four years I would point to even being closely progressive.
He's just another corporate Democrat. I don't know why anyone was surprised.
"I'm voting for Gavin Newsom because he has the best chance of beating JD Vance" - Every single fucking old person who shows up to the Dem caucuses and primaries in 2028.
Newsom is an absolute shit stain. But unless absolutely every single American reading this actively participates in their local primaries and caucuses, it's bleedingly obvious that's who the party is going to run. Show up, bring friends, be loud.
Fuck the party.
I mean yes, obviously, but we only have two, and our entire election system is designed to keep out 3rd party alternatives. So we're going to have to "fuck the party" by taking it.
They cannot fail, only be failed. They were stabbed in the back by communists last time, or they would've won. Only communists stabbing them in the back stopped them. Because they were stabbed in the back.
Also, did you not see what your party pulled just this past month? They consider us a danger, and the fascists allies against us. I don't know who you are, but if you're with the party, you're the enemy.
Another way to put this:
You are in a messy room
You want to clean the floor.
The three tools in the room are a vacuum cleaner that's not plugged in and you might need to move a shelf to get to, a broom with a kinda-gross dustpan in the far corner, and a man pointing a loaded gun at your head telling you not to clean the room.
You see the most sensible course of action as oiling the gun, loading extra magazines, and sucking the mans cock(which to be clear he didn't even ask for, you just started doing and 50/50 chance he just shoots you when he's startled), making sure he finishes all over the floor each time, until the room is clean and telling me I'm insane unserious or a traitor for trying to shuffle things into piles with my feet or reaching for the gross dustpan
Whoooole lot of cocksucking in that response, yet zero solutions or substance.
Did you mean to post this here, or in a thread about imaginary fellatio?
This is beautiful and perfect.
10/10 for prose though, for what that's worth. My ADHD ass read the whole thing.
Sorry I'm tripping right now, I can't tell if this is an extended bit, but if it is consider this me tapping out. Please explain.
He can go fuck himself.
Don’t make the same mistake Switzerland did with theirs, people.
Neolib is a shitlib. Next headline.
He’s not a progressive. He’s barely a liberal.
Still better than most of the fascist assholes. It’s a low bar.
Imagine if trump wasn't retarded, and was genx instead of a boomer.
Oh shit, you don't have to; he's the governor of California.
