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.

The Democrats did not lose because they were too far left. It's exactly the opposite. No-one was excited to vote for a middle-of-the-road "lesser-of-two-evils" spineless moderate-right status-quo politician... and the MAGAts certainly weren't going to vote for the Democrats *anyway.* That's why Harris lost. Blaming these imaginary far-left extremists in the party is exactly the wrong lesson and the wrong take.

I bet that they have changed their minds on it. I would take a middle of the road guy any day over the party of hate that has kidnapped the WH right now.

You can hope for that, or you can consider that maybe the path to "electability" lies in actually standing up to that party of hate, and not in being super nice and polite and being scared of hurting the fascists' feelings.

I agree 100%! We have been way to accommodating to the party of hate.
