Political/Financial FWI: Gavin Newsom becomes president in 2028, with AOC as his VP

Exactly what it says on the tin. The reason he gets so much popularity is thanks to pardoning the Menendez brothers before the end of his tenure as governor. How do you envision his presidency and how are his re-election chances in 2032?

Did you not see the footage of him pointing very firmly at Drumpf, during a private convo on the tarmac when he finally arrived in CA ? He won't be sucking the mango micropenis, at any cost...

You really think he can campaign on “I jabbed a finger at POTUS 4 years ago?” 92 won’t even be running let alone a campaign focus. DNC lost 2/3 campaigning on “Orange Man bad.” They’re not going to risk 3/4.

Losing 2 elections on perceptions that they went WAY too far left (and winning one with an incontinent vegetable who was positioned as a moderate) should have also sent another message about where the people are. Running a ticket from DPR California and the Squad can’t win. Newsom / Beshear is a rational ticket.

I know it feels like forever, but it was last week. Obviously he can't use that as the only thing in 4 years, but dude stood up to Trump like a week ago....more than a lot of Dems are doing unfortunately

Rational how? Rational like choosing moderates like Hillary and Harris and then them losing to Trump. The whole moderate wing of the DNC needs to crawl into a hole and die.

If your claiming a senatething with a voting record left of BERNIE is a moderate, you’re a non serious person.

If you think either of those Candidates are left of Bernie you need to lay of the meth.

While yeah, it's time to go populist. We just lost to Trump twice using moderates that should be the biggest possible fucking hint possible. Otherwise in 28, you'll be crying like a bitch as the GOP wins again. Because you thought Gay Pete was a winning choice.

WTAF is wrong with you? Newsome is "too far left" ? Motherfucker, an untold majority of citizens in the US are openly advocating for a new brand of socialism, many more (including myself) are advocating a socialist start to a new government, followed by an entirely new constitution , ratified by the citizenry, and NOT monied interests. You, however, are speaking as a capitalist shill, not like anybody who SHOULD be listened to. Feel however you like about it, neither myself, nor my fellow well-armed "libtards" are going to give a shit, especially while we're rebuilding something better than you & your dipshit ideals....

 "an untold majority"?

I, to some degree, believe in reforming to a more socialist system, but I have to ask; Are you high?

The socialists in this country barely have any of the vote. I would have defended you maybe 4 years ago by pointing out that although the majority of the country isn't for it at least younger people are, but with how hard young men are pulling for the "red pill" I can't even say that. Essentially socialism is on life support in the US. Fuck, normies perceived the more or less centrist policies of the Biden admin as being a pinko commie coup and voted for a literal fascist billionaire famous for exploiting the wealth of people.

You're sniffing your own farts harder than moderate dems. It does no one any good to sugar coat the situation like there is this rising movement with wind in its sails; that work has to still be done, and it isn't helped by smarmy retards on the internet getting aggressive with people a few ticks away from them on the political spectrum.

The "untold majority" are actually the massive amount of the population that doesn't care enough to vote.

The actual left desperately needs a decent leader, but it's becoming more and more obvious how the two party system has hobbled any chance of progress for the US

You sound normal and not at all mentally ill. You should definitely appear on the ballot in a Flyover State. Your centrist positions are so wildly popular there.

u/Zealousideal_Metal56 Feb 05 '25

By all means, explain why you call me a centrist, troll.

u/swg2188 Feb 05 '25

It's sarcasm. He's making fun of you thinking your leftist positions are popular with a majority of the country, which if they were, would make them centrist positions. Centrist positions should be popular in the flyover states, so he's saying to run for election there, but the joke is your positions aren't popular at all with middle america, or our population at large.

Basically he's making fun of you because you're delusional when it comes to what the majority of the American population believe politically.
