    Newsom isn’t a good choice but he’s the only one whose shown any effective strategy against Trump.

    Effective how? Has Gavin kept a single innocent person out of jail, funded a single defunded program, protected a single city from Guard occupation?

    What has Gavin created except ChatGPT imitations of Trump tweets and AI image slop? What has Gavin done except promote himself?

    Gavin’s not effective opposition. He just paid TikTok enough money to promote his meme shit that he looks viral. And his bullshit is going to last just about as long as “Kamala is brat” or Walz calling people “weird” did.

    Mamdani has shown us an effective strategy, too. Stand for the people. Actually run on the fucking left. Don’t just talk shit about Trump - actually oppose his policies. And convince working class Americans you really do stand with them, so they don’t turn to right wing populist scumbags out of sheer desperation to be heard.

    But that’s not going to happen. Because the dirty Democrat secret is that the DNC leadership agrees with most of Trump’s positions. They just want to implement them more politely.

      Every time proper left wing policy is offered to Americans, you vote it down. Progressive policy does not fly in the US.

      Your country has abandoned you GI, why donate your time and effort to a nation that only takes? Defect GI, migrate to a nation that appreciates your labour. Come to Australia! We have nationalised health care, some of the highest wages in the world, the best electoral system in the world, and Melbourne constantly ranking as one the best cities in the world.

        Obligatory “Fuck off, we’re full” aside, honestly showing a few Americans what an actual functioning country looks like wouldn’t actually be a bad thing.

        But maybe send them somewhere other than Melbourne and Sydney; Perth and Adelaide both get needlessly slept on.
