He sucks so much
-
The guy literally did a photo op of personally tearing apart a homeless encampment.
-
It's sad, he used to be a progressive. Like making headlines levels of progressive when he was the SF mayor. Then he sold out.
-
He sucks, but, right now, he's also the only dem taking real actions, with real momentum, against the gop. Actions that aren't just symbolic.
Jefferies talked a lot? Who tf cares.
Schumer's gonna write another stern email? Okay....
If we continue to eat our own in the face of fascism we will get another Warren.

Most people here will probably hold their nose and vote for newsom. However, since 2000 that strategy has only worked in 1 of the 6 elections that have taken place.
Running a campaign on changing things however has won 4 of the elections. 66% of presidents in the last 24 years that campaigned on mixing up DC etc have won.
If I said Gavin Newsom has a 17% chance of winning the general election in 2028 and thats the best dems have, would you bet on those odds?
And this is assuming no republican fuckery occurs. The reality is we need somebody can be as popular as Obama so there is no way to fuck with the election but who is also willing to fight fascists tooth and nail. Newsom isnt it. What we need is people to realize this and find that person who can fix this.

What action is that? Hmmmm tweeting mean things at Trump. That action that toddler shit. What about going onto rigjht wing podcast and then agreeing with all their talking points? Is that it. Motherfucker is just barely left of current GOP.
Fuck this dick. Not voting for him or anymore neoliberal Democrats. Let me know when to rise up.

He's taking real action, yes (though not nearly enough), but here's the thing: He's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart; it's an attempt to get support for a 2028 run. And if that happens, and if there's even a democracy by that point, it will be an unmitigated disaster. Just because he did a good thing once or twice doesn't mean we should forget who this slimy, homeless-oppressing Charlie Kirk sellout really is.

We know he's not.
But we also know he isn't a pedophile rapist fascist who has a lukewarm IQ, shits his pants, kowtows to dictators and....

Real high bar you've got there.
-
Perfect example of lib mentality

Didn't we already do the whole "he isn't progressive enough! Let's infight and give conservatives everything!"-strategy?
-
Clearly you deserve it.
Zero sympathy for Blue MAGA. -
Jesus Christ, it's not even the primaries for the midterms yet, but the BlueMAGA chuds already demanding progressives swear fealty to their neoliberal ghoul of choice.

2023 news. Remove it

Evergreen. He still sucks.

Yes, it’s still a good read. They also reposted it today and it’s going viral on socials.
