We need multiple-choice "approval" voting so we're not stuck with the establishment candidates and others can be considered.

The French Laundry dining incident should never be forgotten. His personal contempt for the common man is no different than Trump’s.

Hey look, here's Kimberly Guilfoyle's ex-husband sucking Ben Shapiro's dick:

Newsom then boasted that there have been 'over 10,000' deportations he’s cooperated with since he became governor of California. 'California has cooperated with more ICE transfers, probably, than any other state in the country,' he continued. 'I vetoed multiple pieces of legislation that have come from my legislature to stop the ability for the state of California to do that.'

If one of my friends (or exes!) went MAGA, I'd agonize over how I had misjudged them so badly; how did I not know they were a monster?

That was my thought process when multiple friends texted me earlier this week with the method to get tickets for the LA Olympics

dreid:

It should go without saying that Gavin Newsom does not have what it takes to fix the country, but he also absolutely does not have what it takes to win a national election.  

Pandering to the far right only serves to legitimize the far right candidate he will inevitably have to run against.

He. Is. Absolutely. Not. The. Guy.

There are two kinds of California Voters, people who hate Gavin and won't vote for him, and people who hate Gavin and vote him because he's the only game in town.

He does not have the juice.  No podcast can save him.

Good, it's not like we're losing any tax revenue from them.

I agree. https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExOHFodXdwd2gzemRubm0xM29ncWRjY3VtOGN4cXdpc2V0cW5tZjFmdiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/V7tU6ivD4OkcU/giphy.gif

He wants to be president. Sadly, this is what we need in a candidate, because we need to stop the ethnic cleansing

In reply to su_liam.

honestly, sometimes I wonder if that's all.

Gavin Newsom is what he's always been a stooge of the monied. He's a tosser and a fascist. I'm not just using the term because of it's current popularity. The man is a fascist. He shouldn't be holding _any_ political office in this country.

Christ, the mere memory of that "New Kennedys" photo spread with the two of them still makes me 🙄 every time.

And let's not forget that just last year, Gav - taking a quick break from throwing trans kids under the bus - personally handed out burner phones to tech CEOs like "Get Out of Jail Free" cards in Monopoly. Now, that was around the same time JD Vance did the mother of all Signal fuck-ups, so I'm curious as to what criteria meets the "burner phone" standards of these idiots.

And we all just know Thiel, Brin, Page, and Zuck got phones, right? Is it even a mystery?

Youre a vote suppression bot.

Some losing members of the wide democratic party were unsuccessful in supporting a candidate that REDUCED support for themselves.

Other members of the loose big coalition firmly grasped were democratic party members are. They won.

That's who the democratic party is.

Stop attacking Mamdani and harming his support. The deservedly well respected Democratic Mayor of New York City wants you to stop attacking his party.

If you have dems you need to primary, hurry, get active.

In reply to Kevin Russell.

practical application of theory, the Democrat party tried to get Cuomo elected, picked Harris and then ensured the campaign was hamstrung. New York and Minneapolis aren't being led by the Democrat party, that's a revolution.

so she still needs close proximity? Peter really oversold her anti-Christ creds.

Zohran tells me democrats are in a different mood than you describe.

So does #Minneapolis.

Newsom would probably have her arrested if she entered California waters.

Gavin “Charlie Kirk debated the right of people to live the RIGHT WAY” Newsom is an asshole. What a fucking surprise!

I think you may be confused on the Democratic party praxis.

If one of my friends (or exes!) went MAGA, I'd agonize over how I had misjudged them so badly; how did I not know they were a monster? And when I hear about people like Newsom and Guilfoyle, I wonder if he feels that way, but of course there's no chance that he does, because she didn't change her politics. Neither of them have politics, they just seek power. So she took a heel turn, whatever, it's all part of the show. It's all kayfabe. I'm sure they still get along great at cocktail parties. Hell, they're probably still fucking each other at whatever kind of Eyes Wide Shut illuminati bullshit they get up to at Bohemian Grove or whatever.

Guillotine?

In reply to Kevin Russell.

Bare minimum for democratic party nominees is a robust billionaire tax.

Primary and remove nihiliionaire democrats like Newsome.

Robust deep strong thorough loophole free no avoidance tax on billionaire wealth.

Biden wanted a 25% tax on billionaire wealth, we can do better.

Ending billionairism is civilisation.

It might cost us a few billionaires, but I'm happy to let them be Texas's problem indefinitely.

I'm ok if he fights Drumph, but not if he's the Dem candidate. He should be leading a kinetic battle if he wants more power.

In reply to Jeff.

I cringe every time I read or hear mention of Newsom running for POTUS. He has already been so awful in smaller roles, he will only be much worse if given more rope.

I'm one of those wacky people who had hoped that when we, as California voters, passed Proposition 1A back in 2008 and it explicitly defined high speed rail between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and even made mention of maglev, that we might somehow, catch up to the state of the art.

Newsom could spend 24x7 working just on that ONE project! Instead of doing anything else, like keeping the nuclear reactor at Diablo Canyon running after it was supposed to shut down as just one of countless examples of how horrible he has been when it comes to infrastructure.

His policies elsewhere are so much worse than the loftier ideals of moving the needle forward. His claims about reducing homelessness are bald faced lies to make himself look good, when he is, by my estimation, even worse than Schwarzenegger, and as someone who had the misfortune to grow up in a place where Clint Eastwood was mayor, and survived the Reagan era? I already know how horrible actors are as politicians.

I guess if the Democratic party wants to keep losing to tyrants like the current administration though, they've got their man!
