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.
Please no
So we just go back to the rich getting more welfare?
well why the hell did you think he hired that woman to write his twitter posts?
Disgusting how people want to support someone who is pro-corporate and betrays trans rights.
Our country elected a pedophile rapist, nothing should be at all surprising anymore.
Capital has ruined our lands and destroyed our humanity collectively. This is it, this is our kingdom after we threw money at every new shiny bullshit toy and trend and convenience until we fed No-Face until he started digesting our very morals and ethics. (Pssst, that scene was a metaphor.)

It’s not even about “biological men competing in womens sports”, ultimately what it’s about is not wanting trans people to exist at all. The sports thing is a red herring, don’t fall for the bait.
When kids are trans, what they need is all the help and support we can provide. Puberty blockers and hormones to help facilitate. God forbid a kid should be comfortable in their own skin.
But, oh, no, we can’t allow that either because, again, the end goal is making it harder or impossible for them to simply exist. It’s not about sports and never has been.
Yikes a transphobic dogwhistle and misinformation on sports. Trans women are biological women. Trans participating in sports was a non-issue in the us until the right started whining about it more recently. The International Olympic has stated that “no presumed advantage” based on sex assigned at birth or sex characteristics.
Women are more likely to participate in sports when trans players are included.
Cis-women receive harassment in sports because of comments like these.
Let me guess you don’t care about women and girls facing inequitable facilities, pay, and marketing; abusive coaches; and racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment.
Please folks learn more about the topic before listening to demagogues.
Dems need to ditch identity politics and focus on the class war just like Bernie keeps telling us.
It sucks but it’s kind of true. It won’t go over well in deeply left spaces but it’s not a matter of “compromise” we just have to fight smarter. We thought too highly of our population and expected too much. We are not a civilized nation that cares about others and never have been. We just got fed toxic positivity in our own little echo-chambers until we thought we could scold the rest of the country into being better.
I am saying this as someone who has supported equality and trans rights for years and years, but we’re not getting results pushing this boulder up the hill anymore. I care more about actually being able to achieve outcomes over if we’re taking the highest roads to get there.
New plan:
-
Class war, not identity politics. Get every frustrated chud and hick mad at the right people, remind them over and over that they’re miserable because rich men took their money and didn’t give them anything back. Simple, direct narrative. Spice it up with memes and flashing lights. These people are bottom-of-the-barrel stupid.
-
Reduce the wealth disparity so that people are less prone to violence and mistrust of people different, THEN rekindle the drive for equality and rights for all people no matter their identity, maybe even some level of kindness between people.
-
Wake up because that was all just a good dream and climate change and AI warfare and genetic horrors are looming on the horizon and we’re probably just going to elect narcissistic psychopath after narcissistic psychopath until the world is literally burning and the average American middle-class family literally lives in a shanty.

Get over it or the GOP wins again.
Americans are so fucking dumb oh my god
That’s the saddest part about this entire thing: using the technique of acting like a complete and utter moron is what fires up the American voting base.
Ugh.
VP maybe. Good attack dog. All I’m hearing from the actual left is “wwaaahhh this guy isn’t insane-left enough, we want the lunatic fringe!”. Ok, well…get running someone, don’t wait until half way through the primaries to sit there and whine and divide the party. (Yes, I know that is the point for some folks like CCP-shills and other bad actors, but ACTUAL leftist Americans should be acting and promoting NOW)
Yikes.
Newsom Fetterman 2028. That’s sure to fix things right up.
I swear US Democrats learn absolutely nothing. All you have to do is jingle some keys in their faces and they’ll applaud.
This is a guy who wants California Cities to force homeless people to move every 3 days. This is a guy who has threatened to cut funding to cities that don’t “crack down” on homeless people.
This is a guy who simply has one of his interns to write funny twitter posts and NOW he’s suddenly “presidential material”.
And some people honestly wonder how Trump was re-elected.
To everyone complaining: this is the fucking primary. This is when you bring out your leftist candidate that can represent us against literal fascists.
Stop fucking whining and do something about it before it’s too late, Newsom wins the primary, and we all have to listen to you whine for another goddamn decade about how Democrats don’t represent us.
Just tried that in 2016. Debbie Schultz and Hillary decided to quell Bernie fervor, elevated Trump, and secured years of Trump and a fascist devolution. Utterly embarrassing. The Democratic party is not going to stop fascism.
The Democratic party is not going to stop fascism.
Okay comrade. You know which party is as bad as fascism? The Communist party is every bit as bad.
Debbie Schultz and Hillary decided to quell Bernie fervor
Those 2 idiots decide for you whether you like Bernie or not? You look to them to make your decisions on who to support? LMFAO…
Well let’s fucking make them do it again, in such a way that they can’t fucking make up the deficit. How long are people going to bitch about it and use it as an excuse it’s just not possible? Tides are changing. It’s fucking now or never
Until the Democratic Party just ignores primary results they don’t like.

Traitorapist Trump is that you? It sure sounds like you. I’m so sick of your ridiculous bullshit.
Or they’re like sinema and change completely after getting in office
No. Fuck no. Hell the fuck no. He can keep doing his attack dog shit, that’s fine he IS NOT presidential material. He is not what this conversation ntry needs to fix the shit Republicans have deliberately broken.
So let’s say it does come down to Newsom v Vance. You really going to sit it out?
He can keep doing his attack dog shit
That is exactly the kind of person we need to win elections though.
No, we need someone who can actually get shit done. Not someone who is only good at performative shows.
#1 prereq to get shit done is to get elected.
he’s not even the one doing it. Camille Zapata is. We should support her running for president.
Not a huge fan but glad to see he’s making waves against MAGA.
Canadians are so confused as to the reason Americans hate newsom sort of like how Americans were confused why Canadians hated Trudeau.
It’s unsurprising Newsom is leading, given all the media coverage he’s been given.
Anyway, any poll result now for 2028 is meaningless. A lot’s going to happen between now and then, and non-centrist candidates will probably emerge, and possibly do well.
It’s unsurprising Newsom is leading, given all the media coverage he’s been given.
He’s been earning it lately.
It’s a popularity contest, not a competency contest…so yeah.
Americans finally knowing when to throw the gloves off and dEcOrUm. You guys had Teddy Roosevelt and he was unabashedly unafraid of the vested interests. And even if there was no Teddy, you guys also mobilised to end the first Gilded Age. You can do it again!
