    Neoliberals Don’t oppose fascists.

    He will work with the fascist to come up with a compromise that the fascists can live with. That probably means sacrificing vulnerable groups and rallying around right wing talking points.

    He is right wing. Gavin newsom is just right wing. the fact that there’s a uneven deeper more belligerent right wing out there doesn’t mean that he is somehow an alternative to it.

      This attitude is how you ended up electing Trump.

      Its bonkers that you guys are spiralling into a dystopian shitscape day by day and just cant bring yourself to acknowledge that any alternative has to be better.

        That is not true. Slower fascism isn’t appreciably better than faster fascism. The you of four or eight years in the future doesn’t have any less of a right to not live under fascism than the you of right now. If by choosing the “better” alternative you throw away your ability to actually stop fascism you’re missing the forest for the trees.

        This is how I feel. I can’t stand neoliberals but some people on here are delusional for saying they won’t vote for Newsom if he is nominated.
