    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.

      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!”
