    Trumps lies are making Newsom sound like a cool politician. Sadly he is just another piece of shit that simply happens to have humor.

    At this point, I’ll take anything to get rid of Trump. The enemies of my enemies… We can deal with Newsom later, when the Trump regime is dispensed with.

      I’ll take anything to get rid of Trump.

      Why? Aside from personally being an absolute bag of shit, Trump is not remotely the worst part of the Trump presidency. Trump isn’t competent enough to do most of the harm.being done. He’s just a spokesman or a puppet.

      If we elect the wrong Democrat, in four more years we’ll be in even worse shape. That’s what happened when we nominated Biden. I called it the second he won the nomination. We would have been better off if Trump won in 2020. Biden was not up to the moment, and Newsom is not up to this moment. If he gets the nomination, America will not survive. Of course, we may not survive anyways - so maybe this conversation is moot.

      I would rather have a better candidate. Someone who appeals to a broad coalition of progressives, lefties, liberals and general non-nazis, and now is the time to look for that person. We’re 3 years from the Presidential election - it’s way too early to anoint Newsom or pretend that he’s the only alternative to Trump’s 3rd term.

        Remarkably, the current Democratic establishment is none of these things.

        Yeah better let the Nazi destroy everything instead then huh

        Do everything you can to get a better candidate than newsom in the primary, absolutely. But when it’s the general election, and if he’s the candidate, not voting against the Nazi makes you just another Nazi.

        Yeah remember all the people that pushed Biden left and totally didn’t spend 4 years yelling at leftists that criticized him cause he kept going right?
