    It’s kind of frightening to see how many people in this thread have taken this completely seriously.

    Fuck Newsom, but this is clearly tongue in cheek

    I gotta admit, he’s a really good troll. Still don’t want him to be president.

      you just know

      I know, and I hate it.

      In 2028 we’ll have a AOC > Newsom handoff in the same vein as Bernie > Clinton.

        Not so sure that will happen, Republicans want Newsom to be the Democratic party candidate but since he’s been obviously going for the position since before Covid it has allowed for a lot of his shady shit to make it out and I think that will hurt him bad in the primary.

      It’s the best way to attack Trump. You can point out all of his lies and hypocrisy until you’re blue in the face but it won’t matter because he doesn’t care about reality nor do his followers.

      Trump is a bully, and like all bullies he can give it out but he absolutely cannot take it. He’s got onion thin skin, trolling him is the best way of retaliating.

      The first couple times were entertaining but I’m frankly tired of it now.

      That would be awesome! My current license looks like a mugshot because they told me not to smile.

    Newsom is pathetic. Here’s to a full 2028 primary where he finds out exactly how unwanted his politics are before he gets anywhere near that nomination.

      I completely agree and dread how the Dems will push him to the front despite the voters picking an actual progressive candidate.

      But I do have to admit some of his trolling does make me laugh and the fact that the PedoKing and his magat worshipers are butt hurt by it does bring a smile to my face.

          Agreed, we should have universal healthcare. But you know as well as I do he’s bought and paid for by the lobbies and he’ll never allow it. Might as well enjoy the shit posting pissing off the fascists since that’s going to be the best we ever get from the soulless ghoul.

      Is the democratic party actually going to talk about politics this time around? Or will it just be more “I’m not that other guy”.

    Every time I see the Governor, I’m reminded of that Lion King song: Oh I just can’t wait to be king!

    People will say it’s him or Hitler, because it takes that kind of relief to make Newsom acceptable to a progressive. So I’m just going to say now: I’m not voting for him. Don’t start lecturing me about vulnerable people because Newsom already threw trans people under the bus. He also actively hates homeless people. And being inhuman to migrants is more Californian than Hollywood.

    If “saving America” means voting for Sheriff James Davis over Adolf Hitler, then you have to wonder, is she worth saving?

      Liberals and Communists unable to hold their noses and hold hands in the face of Fascism has historically only ever worked out well, right?

      Jesus fucking Christ, we’re starting this already? I don’t give a fuck how much you don’t like him you’d be the kind of fool that got us into this mess in the first place of you don’t get off your ass and vote against Hitler.

      Otherwise, kindly FUCK OFF!
