Well, second to last. Amy MAGA candidate is last.
I can't stand Newsome, he's no better than a Clinton, or any other phony Democrat, but he'd be better than any MAGA.
Unfortunately, he's never made any indication that he would crush MAGA, and purge them from government and society, so he'd just be a placeholder until they steal it back.
no more place holders. either they provide a candidate that runs progressive ideals or they can run the election without my vote
Newsome is going to lose. Not the nomination, the race for president.
Stop supporting this guy
Start supporting a progressive
LLM-generated text/code over a certain size should add various hints that it is LLM generated. Each word count again, so you are forced to read the stuff you generate, if you want to covertly offload work (think newsapers, coders) to LLM.
And Gen-AI should add a respective watermark and media tag.
God I fucking hope he’s not going to be anointed as the Democratic nominee.
He’s totally going to be anointed as the Democratic nominee.
Yeah, the useful idiots are already gearing-up for the 'lesser evil.'
I wish people weren't so collectively stupid.
From the outside, he looks like a republican
Because he is one. He only runs as a dem because it's the only way to win in California
From the inside he looks like a republican.
But that's how its been for a while. This years Dem is last decades Rep.
Same, fam. Same.
Ifyoulive in the US engage and get less corpo cunts to run. If he runs he will be thenbest option against the fascists, ans this is how the US got here. Controlled opposition in essence, just shit tier corpos in blue ties.
Americans are dumb as shit. I was arguing with a moron who thought that Hillary Clinton had a better chance against Trump than Bernie Sanders.
They will do and believe anything to avoid raising taxes on people richer than them.
Just entitlement and exceptionalism.
Even now they are amazed it could happen there, as if they are not the more likely place for this to happen amd been selling us stories of it happening for decades.
I will never cast a vote for Gavin Newsom. I don't give a shit about his stance on AI. His stance on the rich corporations is to gove them what they want which is just Trump lite.
after thier freakout with ZOHRAN, they do whatever they can to push newsom to the front.
they do whatever they can to push newsom to the front.

I have a message for Newsom: You Have No Chance
He won't get past the primaries.
I don't think democrats are smart enough to vote for someone better than him in the primaries.
We will probably see JD Vance win in 2028 because of how stupid democrats are. They voted for Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, for example.
Problem is the republicans covertly help the less electable unpopular democrats to win. There aren't that many dem sheep, but with all of the media, the influence operations of both dems and republicans and their allies, the super delegates, etc, the establishment ones seem like the safe choice, seem like the inevitable choice. If they cross the nominee they would be frozen out later they fear it seems, (never worse than in 2024 nobody challening kamala,) and people like the South Carolina black faith leaders still believe these establishment guys are the safe and inevitable choice.
Nothing has changed. It doesn't matter how many times they fail, how wrong they are, they will never learn, as long as those with money tell them confidently, and trash those that disagree, they will never support popular reform.
We need our own organization, and to sign up and organize new voters to overcome the existing sheep and faith leaders like that black south carolina fella that handed it to Biden, (thanks dickhead, admit you were wrong already,) because we will never win those people over with reason.
@hector @technology This is how Trump wins - everyone in the anti-Trump bucket has their own purity test like this is a fucking breakfast buffet and not an existential threat. Starting to think Americans have degenerated to the point where we don’t deserve Democracy.
DEVO was right.
This is the victim blaming the controlled opposition uses to keep control. The only way forward is without them leading. Do not listen to the ones that failed about whom is at fault. It is like allowing Netanyahu to coordinate the response to the attack that happened on his watch, because he failed, as the law and order and safety candidate at that.
Now because of his failure he gets everything he wants, never admits a mistake while starting 7 wars? It just gets worse the longer you let these manipulators stay in their positions. When there is a failure, an honest accounting must be had, those responsible need to own up to their mistakes, pledge how they will improve, then go forward.
When those in power scapegoat others for their failures, they have to be replaced as they aren't trying to accomplish the thing they are lying about but other ends, just like netanyahu. Just like the establishment democrats too. They are preventing popular reform not winning elections. Keeping control of the party for the donors is what they care about.
Oh he will. Then the dems will be surprised when they loose again because they put in a guy who literally turns his back on every minority group the second he can.
Nothing short of complete dismantling and recreational could save this place.
No president can fix this, it's bigger than that. It's extremely concerning that people are acting like someone's going to save them so they don't have to save themselves.
People need to rethink how they live, and begin to work to change it or else it's going to be the same old manipulation.
Detox. And be aware of mob mentality so you can catch yourself before falling for social marketing that's bad for humanity.
Newsom running for Pres?
He wont shut the fuck up
Yeah, I don’t see how it’s even a question that he’s gearing up to run
It's like they don't want people to vote, lol.
Why do morons on the left keep supporting candidates like this? How stupid are they?
