      You Americans cannot abide allies or any other type of leftists, no wonder the right ate your lunch and continues to do so. You guys hate everyone. The American left has become so toxic and self isolated

      These are the same assholes who watched Nancy Pelosi clap at Donald Trump and honestly thought that was a win.

      Now they’re paying 30%-40% more to live, if they’re lucky, and just ignoring that the people they voted for enabled a genocide and man-made famine against kids.

      As bad as his trans stances are, still miles better than even the absolute best Republican

        I thought Newsom was a Republican. Like a sheet made from the same cloth, but draped over a more progressive shape. He calls himself whatever and pays respects to the left but it’s the same kind of creature inhabiting the position.

        Yeah but we still have a little over two years until the primary circus starts so I can’t fault people for wanting to dream of a future they actually want to live in for the time being

          No not at all I support that fully, but I really don’t want another situation where we have “milquetoast whatever vs Nazi” and people are more focused on how the Democrat isn’t perfect enough to not try to stop the nazi

    god damnit, I hate it that one of the most milquetoast neoliberals of our time hits upon an A+ strategy. Whatever staffer in his office had that idea deserves a raise. If it was his own idea, I’d be shocked.

      Id like to take credit for it myself but its always been there available to anyone. Democrats just cannot believe the American people are this stupid they need to spell it out. Its a fine way to be in your interpersonal life but politics is too devoid of actual measured discourse you will only lose if you don’t play for keeps.

      This is also why every democrat who isn’t spearheading something like Newsom is doing needs to go too. They are artifacts of a different age and the debasememt of society will only get worse. We need innovators and risk takers until a real treaty is signed.

        I’m fine with removing DNC from congress on the sole prerequisite that we remove every single Republican first.

          I feel like “replace” is the way to go.

          Based off Zohran’s campaign at least. Blew cuomo out the water in the primary.

            That’s fine but even if we replace every DNC and none of the GOP we make zero progress. Cuomo was old and clearly mentally unwell, that’s why Mamdani is the new DNC candidate on the ballot.

              I think it was the policies that Zohran was running on and the face to face canvasing he did, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a contributing factor.
