    Newsom is your average neoliberal. As much as I like seeing someone troll Krasnov it’s important to remember that neoliberals are not going to help anyone but themselves and their corporate donors.

      Hmm, who do I support: Someone who I don’t necessarily agree with on every issue or the guy actively working to destroy my country and those of our allies? Tough call.

      I’ll take the neo-liberal over the outright nazi fascist, thanks

        Well, history has shown that your fellow Americans do not agree with you. There is plenty of time to find a candidate that will actually be popular with voters

          History actually shows that crying “that candidate isn’t progressive enough” ends in actual fascism.

            I suppose in the same way that tornado sirens always ends in a tornado tearing through a trailer park. But I’m sure that this centrist liberal will finally be the one to beat fascism

        What’s he actually doing? Having his social media manager write zingers for him? I’m sure Trump is so scared.

          He’s been pushing back in a lot of ways. I don’t like him and would vote against him in a primary, but I’d absolutely vote for him if he wins the nomination.

          As to what he’s done, here are a few things off the top of my head:

          • Began the process of redistricting CA to offset what TX is doing.
          • Sued to keep the national guard from being deployed to LA.
          • Pushed back on repeal of the EV mandate.

          Again, I don’t like him. He’s slimy. I still will vote for him if he’s nominated.
