      Nah, he’ll be one of the ‘28 front runners. Then we’ll all be told to vote blue no matter who.

      I’ve got $20 on it.

        He’s already said he won’t run if Kamala does. They serve the same masters, and they know not to split the vote against any left contenders.

        Nope, Newsom has to much baggage. Especially from the covid year and his tone deaf birthday party when they were supposed to be in lockdown. He is out in front as the traditional pre season human sacrifice.

        I’m guessing Jon Ossoff (D-GA) will get it.

          Is Ossoff any better? I’m genuinely asking because all that I’ve seen of him recently is Trump takedowns, and I learned from Newsom to be sceptical of politicians making their hay from sound bites.

            I have no idea. But the media is definitely talking him up.

            He is from a swing state has a positive approval rating. A California governor is DOA in the south. While Ossoff is from Georgia and could probably win a couple of southern states like bill Clinton did.

          Democrats are allowed and rig their primaries and they won lawsuits where judge literally said that the DNC is a private organization and can pick their leader not voters. So primary for Democrats mean shit. If DNC leadership won’t Newsome its who you will get. They run primaries for show. Leadership and Super delegates choose who wins.

        Well you get Trump and more MAGA bullshit if you don’t, so…

        Anyone that says the Dems are just as bad as MAGA is deluded.

          Talk to the centrist Dems. It’s their turn to show up to vote blue no matter who too. Oh wait I forgot that maga is preferable to whatever the fuck socialism is that Dems keep writing strong letters about every week in Congress. JFC.

          Edit: But yeah, vote blue no matter who. It’s harm reduction…… it’s harm reduction……. It’s…… I fucking hate the two party system and money.

      Newsom can kiss his presidential ambitions goodbye.

      In an ideal world that would be true, however there’s an extremely high chance this is the agreement he made to get it

      Not cowards, dogs. They got the publicity they wanted out of it, and their masters tugged on their chain, so they let it go.
