Gavin Newsom Sparks Backlash After Calling Democrats 'Toxic'
California's Democratic governor made his blistering remark during an interview with "Real Time" host Bill Maher.
This is why Democrats lose.
You're viewing a single thread.
Newsom, a Democrat, has attempted a fresh approach to political divisiveness
Seriously? Lurching to the right and courting republican voters is new, is it? Seems to me it's the same shit democrats have been doing for quite some time. Newsom should just get it over with and change parties.
He doesn't need to switch parties though, the leadership is on board with throwing trans women under the bus and approving GOP spending bills.
Yet they can't figure out why the Democrats are considered "toxic" right now, and their ratings are in the shitter.
California isn't loving his schtick. I hope we vote him out in 2026 for governor. We'll see how that works for his presidential asperations. What a moron
He’s term limited so he won’t be running again for Cali anyway
He's setting up a go at the presidency. He knows that the DNC will want him to lean conservative, but he doesn't want to be painted as flip flopping or pandering, so he's leaning into it early. Now when the GOP inevitably calls him a woke far left extremist (or whatever buzz words they're using by that time) he can point back to this period as proof that he's "always been a centrist" who can appeal to non-MAGA conservatives.
Of course, he and the rest of the DNC haven't figured out yet that conservative voters are NEVER going to vote for the LESS conservative party.
What the fuck, traitors. Can I have a source so I can look into this?

Don’t forget that asshole filed an amicus brief supporting the Supreme Court decision that you can arrest homeless people even if they’re only camping outside because there’s no shelter space
He's been consistent about putting the boot into the homeless since he was mayor of SF.
