The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.
The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.
We had a choice between one monster, and another (there were other options, but both monsters fought to keep the non-monsters off the ballot). Sure, one monster was a bigger, meaner monster, but the other monster was still pretty damn evil. Maybe next time we should be allowed to pick someone that isn’t evil, for a change.
It will never cease to amaze me that people blame the voters for being disgusted with the candidates, rather than blaming the parties for choosing such awful candidates.
It will never cease to amaze me how so many people could expect things to change by doing absolutely nothing.
When given a choice between cancer and a broken bone, you pick the broken bone- every time.
But… now we have cancer- and this isn’t up for debate.
Do nothing??? Look at the DSA getting zohran mamdani into position over shoe-in and sex pest cuomo. Organise with others and dont vote newsom
Who is doing nothing? We’re fighting for change, we are pushing for parties that are fighting for the people. We were litteraly in the streets, when the Democrats were out to brunch, while the Democratic leaders were bombing kids, and backing genocides.
Your analogy is flawed, btw. A more apt analogy would be terminal-cancer, or less-severe-terminal-cancer. So… congratulations on supporting the cancer, instead of helping the people who are suffering from cancer.
Fighting for a change? Who are you fighting? In what manner do you fight? Give me an example of this fight you’re performing.
Because from where is sit, I’m seeing an awful lot of people that think that withholding a vote because of [insert flavor of the week reason] is somehow going to create change. And protests? They only work if those you’re protesting have empathy and shame. Protests don’t create change. VOTES DO.
By the way- this happens every single election year. Take note on all the change you fought for by doing jack shit.
