If Newsom is the candidate, the race will have already been thrown.
That's how you got trump. If you think a miracle candidate is just going to pop up, I think that's wishful thinking; you walk the needle to where you want it to go.
No, that's not how I got Trump. That's how the Democratic establishment got us Trump. They got their choice of "miracle candidate" and ran their choice of campaign their way. They even got their choice of opponent thanks to Hillary's "pied piper" campaign to pump up Trump. They orchestrated the whole damn thing, so fuck you for blaming me. The only thing you got right is that it actually would take a fucking miracle for the establishment to pull their heads out of their asses and pick a real candidate.
Newsom cares about being President. That's his entire moral core. Just like Hillary, Biden, Obama, and Harris, being president is an ego trip and serves no end but self gratification. That's why we fell to fascism. If you think that staying on the same path that got us here will get us out, then it's you who got us Trump and, more importantly, you who will get us the next Trump
