The enemy of my enemy.... is still an asshole. Fuck Newsom.
I agree, and I lived in CA while this twat was picking up signs and pretending to care about union workers.
...
... and I'd still vote Newsom over Trump, with a song on my lips
Some intern had some fun.
Is this really real?
It's awesome if it is. I mean, it's sad, but in this universe, currently, awesome
It is real.
Y'all wanted Democrats to stand the fuck up. Comments:
Fuck Newsom! He's not pure enough!
And that is why we so fucking always lose.
Newsom is ambitious, self-serving, Randian, right-wing neoliberal scum. However, I would still pick him over the murderous criminal totalitarian child rapists currently running the US.
"Newsome's press staffer sent a funny tweet. I guess that makes up for him creating a platform to shit on trans people with right wing monsters, saying that Dems should ignore Trump sending innocent people to an El Salvador gulag because the issue is a political loser, and years of shit policies"
The reason Dems lose is because they don't ever actually do anything. A tweet is not an action. It's performative bullshit.
So, hehe funny tweet. But also, fuck newsome, do something.
He's threatening to redistrict California in response to Republican Leaders gerrymandering Texas
He states he has found a way to gerrymander California to eliminate 5 Republican seats whilest abiding by the Voting Rights Act
He has held multiple press conferences and public appearances drawing attention to this
This tweet is about - and part of - this effort to draw national attention to gerrymandering
It's too soon to say if he'll follow through with his threat, but he's done a lot.
I don't like Newsome, but respect this - don't just shit on it. This is the action you're asking for
Newsome has to get the legislature to put it on the ballot, Californians have to approve it. The nonpartisan redistricting commission was created by referendum and can only be changed by referendum. It's good that he's supporting the initiative and pushing it. Pat on the head for that.
But you ever noticed Newsome doesn't fight for shit unless it personally affects him? Round up immigrants and send them to El Salvador? Newsome doesn't want to even talk about that cause he thinks it's a political loser for him personally. Trans kids being discriminated in sports? Newsome thinks he'd do better in a presidential election if he's a little bigoted since Kamela got hit on the issue, so fuck trans kids. Trump rounding up immigrants in LA, big meh from newsome. However, Trump takes over Newsome's national guard, now newsome is ready to fight. Republicans rigging the House which could mean a president Newsome would have to deal with a Republican house, now he's going to the mat.
So yeah, glad Newsome is doing a thing for once (or more accurately supporting the citizens being able to do the thing), but he's still a piece of shit.
Don't let perfection stand in the way of good. Is Newsome the candidate I want? Fuck na. Is this better than what we're seeing from most of our leadership. Fuck ya.
Sometimes you need a dick to fuck the assholes so they stop shitting all over the place.

If this were Reddit I'd spend like $100 to give this animated shooting meteors and permanently stickied to the top of /r/all
As it is, I may need to get this turned into a T-shirt on Etsy
I saw AOC use her right hand once so she’s not pure enough either.
I kind of cringe everytime someone goes off about some dumbass purity test for AOC. Like one of the most, if not the most, progressive politicians of my lifetime and jokers want to get mad at her because this one time she wasn't progressive enough. Like how the fuck do people think you push politics in general to the left? By electing some middling democrat, or even a republican, because the progressive candidate wasn't progressive enough? How does that make any fucking sense?
I am convinced that at least some of that is from her competition in her own party who lean further right and republicans. Best time for a coward to attack is when your opponent is already down
Everything else aside, it's good satire. It's just a well-executed joke.
Well-executed and a joke, yes.
But not "just" a joke
We live in hell
What are you in for? I pirated video games and movies.
Chronic masturbation. The corn flakes didn’t help
I had that feeling for quite some time now. We are actually in hell that's why our prayers are not being heard. Being in hell means we are left in our own.
Quantum immortality but your sins send you another layer closer to hell where the timeline is worse.
I've been saying so since high school.
Well it's clearly not the good place, because I can say ~~fork~~
Wait, are we in the bad place?
We don’t know how old you are my dude. High school could have been last year, or in the 80s.
Hell was nicer back then, though.
Hey, Gavin, your buddy is looking for you in Saint Denis.
Gavin!? Gaaaaav
Seriously why the fuck not. Do it gavin
Edit: This post is an actual copy of his tweet by OP
More:
"You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make," he said. "This attempt to rig congressional maps to hold onto power before a single vote is cast in the 2026 election is an affront to American democracy."
"DONALD TRUMP HAS 24 HOURS LEFT TO RESPOND TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S LETTER. IF HE DOES NOT STAND DOWN, THERE WILL BE A VERY IMPORTANT PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

I like this, more politicians should use ""inflammatory"" language against Trump
Been screaming for this for years! Bait him, taunt him, fuck him up. He's literally easier to manipulate than a toddler. Ridicule him, satirize him, lampoon him until he's a non-functional mess. God it's so fucking easy if one dares.
America's favorite governor? Yeah, no. Fuck that guy. He's an asshole that just happens to be fighting Trump, which most of us like.
Big Joe Biden energy with this guy.
He knows he's not, he's just mocking Trump.
Yknow, begs the question who the real favorite governor is. I'm guessing Walz, given national spotlight, but who else?
Not the current governor, but I bet Mitt Romney could be a good contender considering he was the Republican governor of deep blue Massachusetts, who elected him twice for his policies that were so well received that Republicans blamed Obama for his healthcare system.
When Obamacare went into effect, it didn't happen in Massachusetts because Mass already had a (better) version of it.
Does anyone even know who the governor of any state that isn't California, New York, Texas, Florida, or the one they live in is? Aside from Walz, of course.
I'd vote for the guy, man. Walz for president.
Tim is a treasure but I'd gladly give him up as our governor if he was running for president.
I wouldn't vote for Walz in a primary in a billion years, fuck that guy. He's extremely pro-Israel.
Pritzker (IL) is probably up there along with Mills (ME), both have also made stands against trump.
Pritzker my goat.
And the country moves one step closer..
