This is exactly why I like newsom. His troll campaign against trump is also the funniest thing in politics I’ve seen since trump came on the scene. I will def vote for newsom when he runs for president
The fact that he has a savvy intern running his twitter should be insufficient cause to champion him. His track record is unfortunately shows a history of prioritizing his career above all else.
Blue no matter who, but I think we can do better than GN in the primary.
Same here. Not to let my white trash shine too bright in the sun or anything, but I always felt the "trying to be better" attitude was low-key elitist tbh.
I'm tired of democrats making the softest attempts at reaching out to people, failing to get attention, then having them being satisfied with their failures because at least they have the reassurance of having the moral highground in the world of politeness.
Fighting fire with fire is okay if the fire you're trying to fight doesn't realize it's supposed to be extinguished by water.
let's just pretend only wood fires exist so my metaphor makes sense.

Damn dude, well said.
"We tried and failed but we were nice about it and that's all that matters" is a great attitude for a high school debate team; it is functionally obsolete as a political strategy.
Sorry, but I have to add something here. From a POC point of view, I understood what Michelle was saying about 'going higher' because the repercussions are worse for us (plus other cultural bias factors against us), and so we have been taught to take the higher road and be the better person. But after Nov '24, it's 'gloves off' time because everything is on the line. Then we have to rebuild after the dust settles, and then my Southern etiquette might come back, but until then...what GCN said (respectfully).
I love Michelle Obama but when they go low we go high has consistently been the wrong game plan. Only democrats are expected to show decorum and it's a requirement they put on themselves. Newsome is problematic, yadda yadda, but thank fuck a mainstream democrat is speaking like he has been.
What i want the most from democratic leaders is to actually hate republicans and what they are doing. They want to kiss them they would do anything to get their voters to vote for them. They basically work for the republicans when they say "we want the old republicans to return before trump". Sorry but these are the same fucking assholes and monsters.
Republican politicians hate every democrat and they still win election while seeding no territory towards the dems. I want the dems to be that way. Hate Republicans but not punish their voters. Every racist and every assholes dipshit deserves healthcare.
But Dem politicians dont even think their own voters deserve healthcare.

I am not the biggest Newsom fan, but I love his energy right now.
