How the fuck is Newsom at +30? He's so obviously a fraud and an opportunist.

The average person is not politically engaged. They literally don't hear at least half the stuff we hear. The candidate to resonate with them is the one who has a clear message that gets repeated...

Newsome being +30 is why California Dems can never be taken seriously as progressives ever again.

keep on with that purity test infighting/division shit and maybe we’ll see Eric Trump president in 2028

Electing a right wing populist that thinks immigrants are leeches and should be deported in order to defeat Trump seems self defeating, but I guess Dems know best and we should all vote blue no matter who regardless of if their policies are straight out of w bush's wet dreams.

you’re so deep in your rhetoric that I have no idea who you are referring to.

Are you saying Kamala Harris is supposed to be “a right wing populist that thinks immigrants are leeches and should be deported” ?

Because that’s ridiculous, and we need to unify and act to produce better and achievable results and avoid the disastrous result. That’s real-world ethics.

This was a discussion of newsom, who is a right wing populist, who has agreed with illegal immigration rhetoric during both trump terms now.

So keep up, if you're going to act like a silly willy.

Let me guess, AOC and Bernie are divisive whenever they call for universal programs to be funded by taxing billionaires out of existence.

It’s not a purity test. It would just be nice if the party that is supposed to support leftist policies were actually leftists who supported actual leftist policies

Can't wait for it to somehow be Fetterman...
