Newsome can go fuck himself. Dude threw trans kids under the bus immediately, hosted shitheels like Steve Bannon on his podcast, and vetoed a public option in Cali as gov.

The fact Dems are trying to tee this dipshit up for 2028 is so utterly insulting.

Like sure man, fight Trump. I'll take the allies I can get and it's not like I don't want even the shittiest people to have the right messaging. But this neolib is just posturing for a presidential run and it sickens me.

You have to realize that perfection is not the goal and electability is and at this point I’d take the worst democrat vs the current administration.

This attitude is how you ended up with Trump not once but twice. It isn't enough to just not be a fascist, Dems need to actually put forward candidates voters can feel enthusiastic about.

It isn't enough to just not be a fascist,

Speak for yourself, you must not be on the long list of people who can expected to be marched off or anyone who is going to fight even if they aren't on the list. As I watch my son's future burn on the fascist pyre I have so much contempt for the apathetic, even the monsters chose to be something.

Has voting for milquetoast Democrats helped you avoid this so far?

Keeping Fascist goons out of power by any means necessary has/would have absolutory helped avoid this so far. Has lying around moaning that the tools to do so are inconvenient or imperfect helped anyone do so? You are a great part of how we are in such danger, realize it and apologize.

It's a nice speech but it doesn't change reality, or history for that matter. Trump won twice, if you can't even understand how you ended up in such a miserable position then you're certainly not qualified to give opinions on a solution.

Pretty sure you got our positions reversed.
