Can you guys who don’t like the idea elaborate?
I’ve seen Newsome as generally a good leader. He did fuch up a few times with treating the homeless. However, here is why I would vote for the guy:
1)Better than a rotten sack of potatoes. 2)Does talk and move like a real person. 3)Has generally improved California… And here’s the thing Republicans might like, there are still poor people in California and they’re mostly brown! Don’t you guys want that? 4)He helped the California economy grow during a tough time and did not bankrupt a casino in Las Vegas!
That said I would vote AOC at the drop of a hat because she’s a woman and I want a first woman president to happen. Additionally, she’s smart and has been on the side of the people. As an example she has not shot any of her dogs. Bernie, who I would also love as president, even now, supports her. AOC is a name all are familiar with. But perhaps we need to compromise so we can get the lunatics out…how about another sane white guy? I know a couple of white people in my community, I’m sure many of us know a white guy or two. Whoever it is, we need to figure it out soon so that we all vote for just that one gu…oh right, we don’t have a say in the presidential election. I forgot that its actually a bunch of randoes who vote for us…we’re totally unsmart regarding this way of electing.
Honey! You want pizza or pad Thai? Tell these 50 rando people what you want and they will certainly get you what you want after they vote for it. Don’t worry, they’re on your side! In the history of us being married they’ve chosen almost always exactly as most of us would have chosen our beans! So they’re perfect! Here are your beans.
Yeah I’m gonna need a higher bar than not potatoes. I don’t know how many times I can be expected to vote for “barely not a republican” consecutively but we’ve definitely passed that point. Clearly voting for the candidate that’s a Democrat and slightly better than potatoes hadn’t worked… like at all. I’m so tired of “Vote Blue No Matter Who (unless the blue candidate is to the left of Schumer and co. then they’re basically Hamas)”
I have the opposite problem. But I won’t state it. I don’t want to give ideas to the you know who people.
Key issues:
These mean I will prefer another candidate in the primaries
Stop. Just fucking stop. We should absolutely have had women be President by now and that is a valid desire. But it is not a good basis on it’s own to decide your vote. Be more discerning.
These are good bases for deciding your vote. Policy, ethics, character, competence, intelligence, etc. These are reasons to vote for AOC. She is a good choice in all those regards. These should be your first reasons, not her vagina.
Again, stop. AOC is a good choice on her own merit, not just in juxtaposition to the craziest crazies of the right. If you set the bar at being “Not Trump” or “Not Kristi Noem” or not whoever, that’s where people get the idea that your candidate has nothing else to offer.
Assuming we get another election, if it ends up coming down to Newsom v Trump, or Vance, or whatever GOP goon builds enough of a following after Trump kicks it, he’ll almost certainly have my vote because the alternative is insanity. But Newsom is a classic neo-liberal pro-capitalist, anti-homeless opportunist. He only looks good next to Trump. On his own, he’s a greasy sleezeball classic politician. If we want real change, we need a true progressive.
Men and their dick insecurities are a big problem in politics. We need more women.
Men had their chance. Look at what they have done.
We need women who prioritize taking care of others over their own ego. Can’t say I know of very many male politicians who are like that. But a lot of women are.
AOC. She’s what we need. She’s not bought. She’s not corrupt. She’s never raped anyone.
Let’s vote for the best option. She’s it.
Japan just elected their first woman president and member of a rock band…the drummer of all choices. I don’t understand how but she’s supposedly a conservative. But regardless, she is a woman. I hope she does good by her people and gives us an example to follow. I used to think AOC was a self centered person because she used to be a cheerleader in highschool. But boy was I wrong. That gir is a firecracker as they say. If she’s on the ballot, I’m voting AOC.
I saw online she is a nationalist and right winger. So. We will see I guess. Hopefully she gets their paedophile problem addressed.
Far right Trump lover who wants a return to traditional values. You know which tradition she’s talking about, and it’s not a Japanese tradition.
Also, prime minister not president, and not elected.
Oh that’s right! Not elected. OK that must really suck. So who elects the PM in jaypan if its not the people? A Parliament? Do the people have a choice somewhere at the bottom of the scheme at all? You know like us and our wonderful electoral college that gave us the guy who keeps on giving!.. Err…taking, our rights away.
The biggest party in the parliament, or a coalition, pick the prime minister. I’m pretty sure this one was from a coalition, and she was the leader of her party, and her party was the bigger of the coalition. Members of parliament do get elected into it by the people, who vote for a person and/or for a list. They didn’t pick her to be leader of the party, but they voted for the people in the party that she recently became leader of.
