You want to abolish ICE? Sorry, but the paramilitarian says that’s not allowed.
It sucks for neurodivergent people that see those patterns sooner than other people. Cassandra is my spirit animal.
Newsome is gonna be the Ron DeSantis of the Democrats in the 2028 primary
Wearing leather heels and getting dommed publically?
I think he might be more savvy, but I would not be surprised. If he’s smart then he gets someone like AOC to be his VP.
Nah, because he’s an over hyped governor of a stereotypically blue state that isn’t representative of the country’s population at large. DeSantis and Newsome both have more style than substance and both peaked so far before the primary that they have nowhere to go but down when it turns out primary voters outside their home state aren’t interested in a candidate that feels like he was designed and grown in a lab
Newsome will flame out so hard once voting starts and there is proof the public doesn’t want his ass same way DeSantis went down in 2024
AOC
My understanding of AOC from discussing her with DSA people is that we’re kind of mixed on her being the candidate. Obviously she’s good on a lot of issues, but she’s also buckled on some important things like weapons for Israel. I doubt she’s a straight up Zionist, but we need to know that the person most visibly representing the movement is going to not back down on red line issues just for political expediency.
I think I’d probably still vote for her personally over another neolib if she’s our best shot in the primary, but it would be nice if we could get someone a bit more principled/someone with more of a spine. We have two years to figure this out. Let’s not wait until it’s too late and have to settle. That said, it’s not gonna be easy. The criteria of a person born in the US, over the age of 35, with enough name recognition to plausibly run a national campaign, and wants to run while still being a principled leftist is gonna make it tough to find someone in time.
She should run for Senate do that couple of terms or at least one. Then run for president.
What she should do is turn herself over to HAMAS or some sort of palestinians peoples’ court.
If we’re talking getting elected then I dont know. Its not like any of that shit matters as long as you have the machine behind you. The media was calling Biden the most progressive president since JFK and making Harris out to be some feminist POC activist. Hillary became the “most qualified candidate ever” on the back of a short career as a senator and a term as foreign secretary where she created open-air slave markets and laid the ground work for all the bullshit that’s making eggs so expensive now.
Material reality does not matter when you have cultural hegemony.Agreed. I’d be happy to vote for her as president. I just think shes still young and can do alot more good work in congress before being president and essentially retired after.
“woke is back! god is nonbinary! mandatory sex changes for everyone!” they say as they pass waves of anti-trans legislation in blue states
and for the rest of the world, only the colours of the bombs will change. welcome to the new normal, same as the old normal
The bombs will continue to be painted OD green.
Wish I could upvote this twice. Well said.
the twitter users making jokes specifically to just piss off conservatives are also passing the laws, eh?
The dumbass libs celebrating the blue wave by posting or reposting those takes, while gleefully voting for genociders, running defence for them and then going back to brunch, are certainly part of the reason why the democrats can get away with expanding ICE concentration camps without the outcry we see under a trump admin.
Hey that’s unfair maybe they just run Harris again or Josh Shapiro.
I’m still hoping for a Clinton/Clinton ticket
Chelsea/Hillary or Hillary/Chelsea?
Dealers choice
At least there’s always the possibility of a sex scandal taking Newsom down. Seems exceedingly likely to me. Fingers crossed.
Biden killed MeToo when Tara Reade spoke up, sex scandals mean nothing.
I hadn’t heard of this, I looked it up, and Jesus Christ. The wikipedia article on the topic was clearly written by the most misogynistic liberal they could find. I know it makes no sense, they don’t see us in the global south as people so of course I understand they’re monsters, but imagine still supporting Biden after shit like this is public.
And the same Libs who’ll blandly say they believe women when discussing Christine Blasey-Ford will call Tara Reade a lying Russian Asset™ and dismiss her entire story. A story which has exactly as much evidence in its favor as Dr Blasey-Ford’s.
What century do you think you’re in? Unless Gavin Newsome fucked kids on camera in public with multiple witnesses he’s not getting taken down by a sex scandal.
Biden groped kids on live TV and raped Tara Reade, he was allowed to run in 2020 and fuck up 2024.
I think Dem candidates will be wall-to-wall in 2028, so it may not take all that much to knock his campaign off course compared to his rivals. Unfortunately, I highly doubt that means the Dems will instead put forward a reasonable candidate.
I feel like newsom just doesn’t have enough juice. I know he’s gov of California, I know he’s been a coward on trans stuff and I know he punted on billionaire tax, that’s it, and 2/3 of those things are damning outright. Oh and I like the gruesome newsom nickname I guess.
And a transphobic piece of shit too!
Yeah like if the more you learn about someone, the worse they sound, that is not a person you should want managing a hotdog stand, let alone a nuclear power.
He’s also brutal on homeless people.
While many Democratic elected officials tried to posture as opponents of the ruling, some gloated. California Gov. Gavin Newsom seemed to celebrate the ruling with a photo op in which he destroyed a homeless encampment. In his newly released memoir, he writes that he believes addressing homelessness requires both “the carrot and the stick.”
His MO is throwing marginalized people under the bus to attempt to win points with chuds. Very similar to other establishment dems like Clinton or Harris. It still doesn’t work. They were gleeful this time around to sacrifice trans people because they see it as an issue that doesn’t matter and have no problem trading it to the fascists so they can appeal to the mythological “centrists”.
Oh yep forgot about that, so 3/4.
He also signed like 2000 oil and gas extraction permits in his first year in office. I am sure I could think of much much more if I cared. He’s fucking awful.
He also violated his own damn mask mandate during the early days of the pandemic, platformed nazis on his podcast, and has had two strikes by his own workforce during his time as governor.
Wow sounds presidential, like a less senile Biden.
Newsom/AOC ticket will have all the embarrassed zionists in here clapping like seals in a years time
Responding to second pic: Then when you try to tell them the next thing they still won’t listen to you.
I had trans friends that I kinda spooked before Trump got elected the first time. I told them that the trans community was going to be left in the wind by the liberal establishment and that they needed to arm themselves and create support and protection networks. They kinda distanced themselves for a bit, but now we go out to the range together all the time.
A good chunk of people will start paying attention, maybe a little late, but better late than never.
So are they going to try “actually americans hate free healthcare and love war, that’s why Gavin is the most electable” or “Gavin will be the most progressive president since FDR!!”
They’ve got some dipshit liberals in the rest of the country cheering for his damn tweets, convinced he’s their champion against Trump. The DNC will torpedo anyone else’s campaign to make way for their little princeling. The actual message doesn’t really matter.
DNC: “It votes blue no matter what, or else it gets the hose again.”
Neera Tanden is already doing this, just isn’t naming Newsom specifically
may she mix xanax and red wine for the last time, she’s an awful person.
I hate her a lot.
Already doing it. Spinning that 2026 was a victory for moderates
It’s always like that. If they win it’s proof they don’t need the left, if they lose then it’s because leftists didn’t vote for them. All the blame, none of the credit.
Somehow both. It worked so well with Harris
Remember that whole voting thing everybody was excited about last week? Yeah so long as everybody keeps doing that and doesn’t vote for the chode we’ll be fine. If a majority votes for the chode… nothing we can do. But I have a feeling people are starting to listen to more progressive sources of news. I have hope.
Edit: didn’t realize the instance i was on. Btw, voting only works if the population is informed. The US election last week had one of the most informed voting bases in American history. People are getting less and less of their news from corpo controlled MSM… Look what happened. They voted for their own interests instead of some concocted boogeyman.
DiDnT rEaLiZe ThE iNsTancE i WaS oN!!
Every ShitLib who definitely knew which instance they were on, upon finding out that the commies know more about whatever subject is at hand than they do and it’s not even close.
Your daily reminder that BlueMAGA liberals don’t consider non-Americans human
Astute observation citizen, it is just the one chode that is the issue. Now that you have done your civic duty of Participating In Democracy ™ go back to brunch, The Good Guys (C) are in control and the system is fixed
Anyway Biden expanded ICEs budget and the concentration camps. More palestinians died under Biden. The Biden admin was preparing for the same war with Iran that Trumps admin is pursuing.
This assumes the chodes announce themselves, which has not historically been the case in the democratic party.
This assumes Voting ™ once every two years is in any way sufficient to change the system that is the fascist duopoly of the US.
