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.
It feels like democrats are trying to join republicans more and more cause they keep “winning.” The reality is that Republicans aren’t simply winning, but they are getting away with abandoning their constituents. Democrats who are in it for nothing but power are seeing this and starting to simply join the side in power. Newsom is no different and I won’t be surprised when he finally swaps colors.
Yea i've been trying to figure out whats going on with Newsom, but im convinced at this point he's just a power hungery politican running to the winning team. Values as deep as his career will allow.
Newsom is a part of it, but he's not wrong.
Newsom’s look and mannerisms remind me of Christian Bale from American Psycho. I can easily imagine him as a serial killer if he weren’t getting his rocks off as a politician.
Politics attracts sociopaths and narricists who are only in it for the power. There was a guy named Steve Panky who ran for governor in Idaho a few yeaes ago and he was convicted of stalking and murdering a little girl back in the 80's. He had a decent shot at winning too. If he had won I don't think he would have been convicted.
This would make a great republican campaign slogan. Maybe newsom has a good shot replacing trump
gavin newsom is the embodiment of dem rot
that said, democrats have become incredibly toxic. the purity tests continue to eat them alive. stop participating in garbage.
"Don't be a fascist, rapist, or bigot" isn't a hard test.
if that were it, and 2 out of three of those weren't incredibly subjective then yeah, i'd agree
the reality is much different. you can call anyone anything you want. keep expecting perfection and you will get nothing done. that doesn't mean we need to turn a blind eye to everyone but it does mean that we should maybe chill the fuck out for three seconds and realize human beings have flaws. the ones throwing the most stones are often giving themselves away anyway so keep slangin
that whole "thing" is not only flawed but is a huge reason why we are down so bad. perpetuating that thinking, you can miss me with that shit.
It's more like:
If you don't 100% support Palestine and don't want to immediately cut off ALL aid to Israel without any forethought or nuance as to what that would actually mean, then you are literally just as bad as the people committing genocide.
Or shit like:
If you positively engage with the Harry Potter franchise at any point, you are literally just as bad as those who lynch trans people.
Or things like:
Literally all landlords are parasites, with no exceptions . If you rent a building, you should be dragged out to the street and shot for selfishly hoarding property.
These motherfuckers will still be chirping about "cancel culture" while hanging from chains in Trump's gulag.
The worst kind of carpetbagger.
California is full of liberal fash. This dude is the main event.
I fucking hate my state for this shit. Acts like we're better than Texas or Florida but still is proudly bigoted and hates the poor.
Hey california has a super progressive college system. instate tuition at community college 90% paid by the state? Thats like the most based social service in this country. It allowed a poor kid from the midwest like me to pay for college while working at the college.
He’s completely misreading WHY Democratic numbers are dropping - it’s not because they’re not working closely enough with Republicans; it’s because they’re not treating them as they have us and blocking every single thing they do!
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.
I used to think he was a viable presidential candidate, and he might still be, for non-MAGA Republicans. He's no longer a viable Democratic candidate, though.
He's a perfect Democratic candidate, and that's the core problem with the party
He's a zionist anyway. We're all full up of genocide apologists. He should leave.
Is RFK Jr. sharing his alien mind control brain worms with all these other political candidates, or have they always been this garbage?
Katie Porter is running for California Governor
She's pro-Israel. Worth pointing that out. Not sure the government needs more pro-Israel sycophants.
State governor has a lot less influence on federal matters than house and senate.
Here is a summary of her position:

Gavin Newsome likes to talk to bigots on his podcast, now wants to call his former party toxic
Gavin is making them even more toxic.
So he’s gonna primary Trunk in 2028???
Hey, only progressives get to criticize the Democratic party. You're way out of line, Newsom.
Newsom confirmed for being a Russian bot that made the account 5 days ago! /j
That's not even close to the comment made, but whatever. Newsom has his own take I suppose, but the people have a completely different one. The latter is more important.
Democrats are toxic sissies.
I’m almost glad there won’t be elections anymore.
This dumb ass thinks he has a change to become president after doing nothing substantial to address the devastating LA fires. Does he think he's going to be popular outside California?
He's throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus and badmouthing people to his left.
He's putting in his application for preordained nominee.
