Backing Newsom instead of demanding better is how Democrats will lose the election once again. Kamala didn't lose because she was black or a woman. She lost because she pushed a centrist line. And supposedly Kamala was the last hope to have elections in 2028, so I'm not sure how this line of thinking works.

Especially at this point when nothing is locked in I don't understand why people are capitulating against their own interests already.

At this point only the Democratic Socialists of America seems to have any standards within the Democratic party and the Dems are actively working against DSA as hard as possible. I'd be curious who the DSA would want to run as president though.

America is so lost. You guys are on the verge of utter collapse.

We know. Collapse seems all but inevitable. We dont know what to do about it.

Seems pretty self evident to me.
