ChiGoose Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Gavin Newsom sucks and it pains me that he’s the first Dem to jump on this strategy. Would have really liked someone else to do this but I suppose I have to give him credit for being the first. 1
reddogblitz Posted August 25 Posted August 25 (edited) Kind of funny at first I guess. He has gotten a lot of new subscribers on twitter for whatever that's worth.But now the t-shirts and coffee cups and hats. Really? Quick, name one thing Newsom was right about. I can see this backfiring on him bigly. He's poking the bear and President Trump is way nastier than him and has a lot more power. I could maybe see something like armed military with live ammo patrolling the streets of LA, San Francisco, and San Diego. Bulldozing homeless encampments along the way. Constitutionality be damned. Maybe President Trump then flies out in his big ass jet for a photo opp to bring the troops pizza and McDonalds hamburgers. Newsome being cast as the lover of crime and homelessness. There's gotta be a better way than mocking the revenger in chief to make your point. Or it could work great whatever that looks like. We'll see. Should be interesting. Edited August 25 by reddogblitz
AlBUNDY4TDS Posted August 25 Posted August 25 It sucks just like everything else Newsome does. Imagine being the one to ruin California.

It’s just more of the same “vibes-over-policy” nonsense that corporate Democrats have been peddling since the early days of Obama. The disconnect between the party’s establishment politicians and its registered voters is now so profound as to render a midterm primaries revolution inevitable. A shift in the standards for political decorum, from a recent historical perspective, usually indicates that Americans are unhappy with their politicians prioritizing the interests of campaign donors.

The only thing with any potential redeeming value is showing the hypocrisy of how people respond to his intentionally insane posts vs Trump’s unintentionally insane posts. Otherwise, it’s just a slick California politician trying to cover up the fact that he sucks. 2

Sure, but that’s not the choice. Newsom wants people to think that’s the choice but a lot can happen in 3+ years. The front runner at this time is frequently not the eventual nominee. If we can’t do better than Newsom in the next three years, we deserve what we’re going to get. 1 1

Would you be kind enough to expand upon this thought? Not sure what you mean by this.

True, to a large extent, but let’s also not forget that the party establishment has been putting their thumbs on the scale for unpopular candidates throughout the Trump Era! 5 hours ago, Taro T said: Would you be kind enough to expand upon this thought? Not sure what you mean by this. Oh, I’m always happy to expand and expound! You know my writing style, Mr. Tsujimoto… I’m referring to the stark contrast between the voting record of Democratic Party politicians and the policy favorability polling data among registered Democrat voters. The politicians are center-right on multiple key issues (gun regulation, M4A, collective bargaining, taxing the rich, etc.) on which the voters lean solidly left. This contrast, of course, is a direct consequence of non-democratic (little “d”) campaign finance laws. The midterm primaries revolution of which I speak is my own expectation of an intra-party civil war between neoliberal centrists and far-left progressives. The two expected catalyzing issues for the conflagration are tariff-influenced stagflation by 2026 Q1 and Israel’s genocide. I’m anticipating a heavy influx of dual DSA affiliates, Greens, independents, and disenchanted male MAGA Zoomers to successfully push the Democrats further left. Any incumbent who doesn’t center their policy platform on economic populism and who accepts AIPAC donations/bribes is vulnerable to a primary challenger. It’s a long-overdue revolution, writ large in 2009 following Iraq and the Great Recession, but delayed and subdued due to internal party corruption and the effects of the Citizens United v. FEC (2010) ruling. And yes, I do realize that the concept of the Democratic Party establishment being too far to the right sounds absolutely preposterous to this particular online community! I encourage you guys to remember that there is much more in the panoply of political discourse than culture war “wokeism” and dudes wearing super cute dresses. When can we expect Trump’s domestic manufacturing renaissance to arrive?? The tomes of American history depict FDR not as the harbinger of dangerous Marxist Leninist Maoist Zohranist socialist ideology infiltrating contemporary American politics, but rather as a political compromise that kept the REAL far-left commies at bay. 1

Anyone will actually miss them...

Why not just accuse him of being a plant in a Russian sleeper cell, arrest him for 17 different crimes using a reimagined approach to litigation, bust into his house using armed agents authorized to dispatch occupants as necessary, grabbing everything in sight, swear to only look at items authorized by decree, and use partisan politicians with their own questionable civil/criminal issues hiding in plain sight to lead the charge to perpetual imprisonment? That worked pretty well the last time. As for the next entitled democrat screeching fair share, oligarchs and this like…..this sort of thing is likely the tip of a substantial iceberg: https://apnews.com/general-news-political-news-9426bc09f958ae9865309dd71a04aa97 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — For months, Gov. Gavin Newsom has pleaded with Californians to resist the temptation to socialize with friends and relatives outside their household. Turns out, he’s the one who couldn’t resist. Newsom acknowledged Friday he attended a birthday party with a dozen friends on Nov. 6 at the posh French Laundry restaurant in wine country north of San Francisco. “While our family followed the restaurant’s health protocols and took safety precautions, we should have modeled better behavior and not joined the dinner,” he said in a statement.
