    “Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades. How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much!” Trump began in a post on his social media platform.

    Trumps lies are making Newsom sound like a cool politician. Sadly he is just another piece of shit that simply happens to have humor.

      Yup I’m really hoping the DNC isn’t going to set him up as the next presidential candidate.

      Ever since the whole violating covid rules he set thing his name leaves a sour taste.

        He’s a poster boy for establishment, so I hope not.

        But I’m betting the DNC will campaign on “Trump MAGA bad.” Again. Only with a twist.

        Surely you guys have had enough of this MAGA crap, so let’s “get back to normal”, to get rid of MAGA and its destruction, you must vote for Daddy Establishment. And, it’s Newsom.

        He wins. DNC takes the legislature and the Senate. And abortion is legalized. But nothing else happens.

        Alternatively, JD Vance becomes Putin and we have no real elections going forward. (Melania was holding Trump’s hand on that England trip…high odds he’s not doing well.)

        I’ll take anything to get rid of Trump.

        Why? Aside from personally being an absolute bag of shit, Trump is not remotely the worst part of the Trump presidency. Trump isn’t competent enough to do most of the harm.being done. He’s just a spokesman or a puppet.

        If we elect the wrong Democrat, in four more years we’ll be in even worse shape. That’s what happened when we nominated Biden. I called it the second he won the nomination. We would have been better off if Trump won in 2020. Biden was not up to the moment, and Newsom is not up to this moment. If he gets the nomination, America will not survive. Of course, we may not survive anyways - so maybe this conversation is moot.

        I would rather have a better candidate. Someone who appeals to a broad coalition of progressives, lefties, liberals and general non-nazis, and now is the time to look for that person. We’re 3 years from the Presidential election - it’s way too early to anoint Newsom or pretend that he’s the only alternative to Trump’s 3rd term.

          Do everything you can to get a better candidate than newsom in the primary, absolutely. But when it’s the general election, and if he’s the candidate, not voting against the Nazi makes you just another Nazi.

        If Wilson hadn’t won in 1912, Teddy would have been president in 1915. In hindsight that would have been better for everyone except the Czar. Russia wouldn’t have lost, bolshevists wouldn’t have taken over. Lenin probably never manages to rise to power, so neither does Hitler.

          Seeing what Trumpism is doing to America and sitting here being all choosy about the alternative is basically what lead y’all here in the first place. When you will be thrown to a concentration camp for a thought crime, the thought that the opposition wasn’t all that perfect either will not help you in the slightest. It doesn’t help all the millions of people who’s lives are being upended because Americans weren’t that engaged about the democratic message.

          At this point, a candidate that doesn’t actively violates the law to install blatantly fascistic government is about as swell as it can go. I’ll take “debates about rights of trans people in sports” or whatever the issue was, over every minority including trans people being hunted on the streets by the gangs of masked people with absolute authority.
          Just like all the choice in America, it’s a choice between a bad situation and a literal hell with torture and eternal flames.

You can’t criticize their chosen God cause then you’re seen as the enemy and they will fight like hell to protect their precious neolib from criticism.

                Really? I haven’t. Not once.

                Should be easy to share a picture demonstrating that then, right?

                Something like:

                Edit: The last time I asked this question, I was shown a tshirt, a hat, and a banner about Gavin Newsom poking fun at Trump, as three separate photos. The T-shirt wasn’t even on a person.

                If its so common, surely there must be some pictures.

        I comprehend perfectly what newsom is talking about. He wants someone that believes that black women do not have the processing power to hold out a job and that they’ve taken a job from a white man. He wants someone that is going to preach that if they see a black pilot they’re going to wonder if he is qualified and not a dei hire. He wants someone to continue the legacy of if their 10-year-old daughter gets raped to force them to have that child. He wants someone to follow in his footsteps to continue moving the Overton window further to the right so Democrats can keep marching further to the right with Republicans.
