    Yep. Same strategy as Hillary Clinton, same strategy as Kamala Harris. It’s a real winning strategy he’s got there.

      There are more Independant voters than Dems or MAGAs, that’s who you need to impress. Nobody gets elected without the Indy vote, yet nobody tries to attract it, because the Indy vote won’t respond to propaganda, or appearance, or bullshit. They actually want to know how you intend to govern, and politicians don’t really want to talk about that.

      We will never move on as a nation, until we acknowledge the MAGA stain, truly clean it up, and prohibit it from existing. Our Nation, our citizens, and the World, need to see a true commitment to decisively crushing and purging MAGA. Only then, can we possibly win the forgiveness of the rest of the World.

      And I will only support candidates who vow to crush MAGA as their first priority, and then have a plan for reasonable proposals for health care, education, campaign Finance Reform, etc.

      And for those who think the Dems need something more than Retribution Against MAGA, they are wrong right now. We will NEVER be able to enact any responsible legislation until MAGA is out of the picture.

      Plus, imagine if we’d let Hitler off the hook because “we want to move on,” and he got back into power a few years later, and picked off where he left off, except worse? That’s what we did with MAGA, and the world is watching to make sure we don’t do it again. If we do, this country is done, as far as having any decent friends again.

      The problem is it’s not obvious that it won’t work. Being a black women all else being equal loses you easily 5 percent of votes on its own. That’s an election. Newsome is a tall handsome white dude. People won’t have trouble “seeing him behind the desk”.

      Trump and MAGA , in the midst of destroying the country , are also dragging the Overton window further right. The shittier they behave, the less the DNC feels the need for any radical change. Unfortunately, they could easily be right.

        The problem is that centrists don’t care if it doesn’t work, as long as progressives aren’t allowed to run.

        If it weren’t for covid, Joe Biden would have lost in 2020.

        Newsome is younger yes. But he carries the same attitude towards policy as Joe Biden. And he won’t be running against Trump who is also old. He’ll be running against somebody like JD Vance who is in the same age bracket (or younger I’m not even sure how old that couch fucker is).

          If it weren’t for covid, Joe Biden would have lost in 2020.

          And even then, he had to promise a bunch of shit he never intended to do in order to get the left on board.

          Which he then (surprise!) didn’t do, which killed the party’s credibility.

          I personally think there’s going to be at least an attempt at a palace coup by Ron DeSantis once Trump is gone. He’s getting older, and he’s ambitious. I’m pretty sure he’ll beat Vance if he gets any momentum.

            Florida might like Ron DeSantis. But literally everybody else in the entire country fucking hates that asshole.

            Eh I feel like he’s a broken reed at this point. Abbott is a much stronger challenger but then again i doubt he’d be able to win nationally.
