    If it’s Ivanka vs the Democrats the solution is to run someone that isn’t Newsom and this is the right time to point that out.

    Acting like this clown is a viable candidate two years before the election is exactly how we repeat this shit. You aren’t helping anyone by helping to create that situation.

      Politics in America is basically team sports, and language matters. “Newsom is bad” and “Khanna is better” are 2 different ways of speaking that have 2 different outcomes at the ballot box. It’s time to not let outrage stack the deck against us.

        A decade to learn from mistakes and you’re still preaching a failed gospel.

            Millions of people so disillusioned with a 2 party system that refuses to put working people before the wealthy that they have completely checked out of paying attention to politics. But yeah totally my personal fault. Got me.
