Having a candidate who will at least make a good faith effort to address the corruption underlying our politics is the bare minimum, and Newsom ain’t it. He’d just put things on pause until the next fascist can gain power, like Biden did.
Your leftist hero is never emerging. You can not expect the system of corruption to birth a non corrupt candidate, and you are going to die waiting for them.
You think Kamala would have sent the national gaurd to California against the governor’s wishes?
I mean the dems are useless and probably wouldn’t have accomplished too much, but we wouldn’t be living in a fascist state and she would have probably at least have been trying to codify Roe v. Wade.
Nobody in this comment thread has even insinuated that any Democrat would be this bad. I was talking about Newsom being a Democrat who wouldn’t try to address the underlying issues that have made people open to fascism, and the other commenter was talking about centrist Democrats’ apparent electoral weakness. You (and the other guy) are arguing with a straw man.
No, I’m saying that the Dems are going to keep getting walloped at the polls until they start running actual reformers who are going to try and improve people’s to lives. They keep sending putting forward the same messge for the past decade that clearly isn’t working
Cool, dont listen to the concerns of others, or why they are willing to vote or not vote for someone, just yell the other side is worse, and that will fix it. Lets not forget newsom did immedatly once trump was elected fold on all his suport for trans people.
Also we should truly just wait for the next election and vote harder, there is no reason to do a revolution, as we all know Facist Italy was defeated at the ballot box.
Oh I wouldn’t mind some time under an Eleni Kounalakis administration.
If he found the courage to stand up and get arrested it would be a step towards actually deserving the nom.
Maybe spending time with prisoners would give him some much-needed insight as well.
Plus I think we deserve to see our candidates without makeup and fancy hair. Come out with a buzzcut and tats… (Heehee autofill tried to make it tatas) Admit it, that’s part of why we wanted Trump The Mob Don to go to prison.
Please don’t, if we make it to 2028 I don’t want him to be the nominee.
Truly we should wait for the Perfect Opposition instead of having a Less Than Perfect candidate to lead against the fascist.

A “centrist” liberal trying to cater to Republicans has clearly been working well for everyone

But now we have this instead so

The comment I replied to seemed to be referencing how dems tried to pander to centrist and courted Liz Cheney of all people for Kamala’s campaign.
I’m sorry this spawned off of your comment, but it seems entirely related to the comment I replied to.

If any kind of anti-corruption effort is a leftist dream, then yeah I guess we are fucked. Thanks for your contribution.
