The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.
The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.
That’s literally what you’re saying… The vast majority of us agree on the bullet points and are very frustrated by the state of the US system… but in the face of what we are dealing with, we really don’t have the luxury of only voting for the perfect candidate. We know the Democrats suck. We get it. Lame Democrats or Authoritarian Republicans. Terrible options but clearly one is better than the other.
It’s literally not what I’m saying. I also never said that one party wasn’t better than the other. You are the one claiming that we’re waiting for a “perfect” candidate, I’m saying that we just want someone that isn’t a monster, and the Dems refuse to deliver on that.
If they would stop supporting the facists, and stop handing the elections over to them, we’d have better options. But they’d rather lose and keep supporting facists, than allow the voters to pick someone that isn’t a monster.
What’s making the Democrats fascist? Clearly the Trump administration is fascist. But the Democrats? That’s a bit of a stretch.
Who said anything about making the Democrats fascist? Are you replying to the right comment?
