They’re 2 million in debt because they’re so good and popular that people would rather give money directly to candidates that agree with their policies. 🤷♂️
Defend them all you want, but it sure looks like most people are over them. The numbers don’t lie.
And if they’re so great, why did don’t they release their ‘autopsy’ of the election? Isnit because the findings are really unpopular with their big donors? Or because it doesn’t fit their narrative / policies? I can’t even come up with another reason.
Tying your wagon to the Cheney’s when abortion is under attack and there’s a genocide you’re funding was a masterful gambit that got us Trump.
So yeah, fuck the DNC.
Thankfully, I think the DNC is actively losing power. After this midterm cycle, they are either going to embrace the more left wing candidates or lose in the primary to a DSA member. Because it’s gotten to a breaking point.
You may want to open your mind Look at his entire legislative record
It's quite a progressive slate of laws, unless you're a seditious gop thing or far left "progressive" who wants to destroy his chances for the Presidency
California is booming, homeless are housed, healthcare is protected +...🖕🏼
He is currently trying to negotiate a deal with SCE to raise electric rates on consumers and cap compensation to total loss wildfire survivors (think Altadena/ Palisades). It'll be a huge tell. If he chooses big biz then he's not the change we need.
I keep saying that if Newsom somehow wins 2028 we'll see him pull the whole "We need to look forward, not backwards" bit, and none of the Trump admin or GOP will face any consequences. He's very transparently awful if you're watching/listening to *everything* he does/says.
Like him or not - he won’t shoot people in the street, he won’t try to take over elections, he won’t prosecute innocent people. Wake up. Another 4 years of this and we all will have to cancel our Blue Sky account or risk being imprisoned. People need to just settle down about Newsom.
he's not the nominee, the stans can fuck right off. now is exactly the right time to NOT "settle down about Newsom" because we have a shot at doing better.
Nobody is suggesting that you can’t do better, or that you have to like him. Get behind a better option. But we have lost elections from people tearing down Dem candidates and not consolidating in the end behind the nominee. If you spend years mudslinging it ends up screwing everyone in the end.
i will say this a little louder, and with more clarity, then.
FUCK Gavin Newsom.
There is no world, situation, or circumstance that will get me to vote for him. I'm not consolidating for shit.
Do better. There's no "what if". There's no compromise position. Fuck Gavin.
Maybe then work to not nominate him instead of screaming at everyone for noticing things he does in public?
A good step two for you would be to curate some self-respect.
“Nobody on the internet is ever allowed to say anything bad about a democrat” is unworkable as a theory of politics
Like, ignoring whether it works or is fair, its just never going to happen
Tearing down and mudslinging is not “you cannot criticize. “ I am talking about hyperbolic language, name calling, globalizing. I am all for intelligent reasoned criticism. You are making assumptions about my remarks that only prove my point.
if you love money on a planet dying from love of money, you gotta join team #ArmageddonCapitalism because that's where the stupid people belong

He. Was. Married. To. Kimberly. Gargoyle.
Being Eskimo brothers with Donald Trump Jr shows that he has terrible judgment and would fit in perfectly with those ghouls.
Newsom sucks but this isn't even close to true. Republicans think Newsom is far left! This is emblematic of an unfortunate tendency on the left to underestimate just how bad Republicans are, and we shouldn't do it.
I don’t want to be harsh because I think you mean well here, but this kind of statement fundamentally misunderstands who Donald Trump is, who Gavin Newsom is, and who Republicans are. Like yes, maybe, and also the Kings would be better if they signed Steph Curry.
Eh, that's just his social media manager, Camille Zapata.* Honestly, anything good Newsom claims is usually the work of someone else. For example, all "his" court wins against Trump have been our AG, Rob Bonta.
*I know your comment was sarcasm, I just like to name the ones who deserve the credit
Another example that there is more than enough diversity within the Democratic Party to offer ample representative choice to the electorate.
The Republican Party is a fascist movement that must be eradicated from the American government if we hope to return to the pursuit of an egalitarian society.
An election is won by encouraging turnout in your party and discouraging turnout in the other party. The "middle ground" holds very few votes. Republicans understand this and even though they have fewer voters, they keep winning.
Unlikely.
He probably just has had a lot of long, voluble phone calls from obtuse Hollywood execs who imagine the sweet, sweet pay packages they're “about to get”.
Newsom is nothing if not supremely confident in himself and his politician-y skillz. 😕
