Cuomo would have been on your list of Dems that pretend to be progressive if Mamdani had not stepped in. Trump’s endorsement of the false progressive should tell you all you need to know about that crowd.
We’re not even at the primaries and here you are with the “yeah, he’s transphobic and would murder unsheltered people for spot if no one was looking, but YOU MUST VOTE NEWSOM IF YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN.
Fuck Newsom and fuck the “blue no matter who” crowd that shits on actual progress.

I just want to say how grateful I am to have finally come full circle on this after being a voice in the wilderness for sooo long. Litterally Blue MAGA/ BNMW/ ABWD threw the election to fascists and then tried to blame the left. Its so heartening to finally not have to be the only one making this point and to watch it break through into the mainstream.
If it were Cuomo vs Sliwa I’d be 100% behind Cuomo. “Better than Republican” is the only qualifier for my support, and it’s a real fucking easy bar to clear.
But Cuomo thankfully lost the nomination and “a more progressive” candidate is the DNC instead.
I don’t think you realize how politics works. You’re saying that you would not vote or vote 3rd party if there was a choice between hitler and newsom? You vote your conscience until the choice is made for you.
Every cycle. Every fucking cycle. Before the primary: “We need someone ELECTABLE. Not someone good.” After the primary: “The time to have a problem with this racist, transphobic, corporate dick sucking bag of hateorade was BEFORE the primary. It’s your civic duty to vote for this blue piece of trash now!”

You seem to actually really like the Republicans.

Before the primary, we have choices.
Oh. I just noticed who I was arguing with. Fuck off palespirit. You’re the worst kind of troll.
That’s a new way to deflect, lol. I don’t recognize your name.
So, an imaginary candidate is preferred over Newsom, imperfect as he is?
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Republicans don’t, which is why they’re in power.
Champion the overtly and successfully progressive when they’re available, and the less progressive to be better.
Here in the real world we need candidates who are electable.

When the alternative is the republicans? Ya.
