    I already wasn’t gonna vote for him cause of his stance on homelessness. Don’t care if he gets the nomination. Never believed in the “blue no matter who” BS that just props up awful people on the vague notion of “lesser evilism”.

      If youve gotten to the point of blue no matter what you don’t really have a democracy anymore. You have an autocracy with vaguely democratic features.

        A centrist cant win, especially in these times. Running a centrist is suicide. You all saw the dem voter base dissolving in the last election. Is that what you want again?

          I won’t vote for a centrist in the primary but I also won’t abstain or vote third party in the general.

            You’re 100% right. Ignore the bots who want to sabotage Democrats. Yes Newsom isn’t perfect but he’s 100 times better than Trump. A Democrat like AOC would be maybe 500 times better than Trump. But no matter what after the primary is over I will do everything in my power to advocate for the Democrat presidential candidate and all Democrats on the ballot.

              If you nominate someone like Newsom, you will lose the election. It’s that simple

                Centrists have demonstrated that they’re just fine with losing to fascists so long as they don’t have to say no to netanyahu.

              It’s crazy to see how many people seem to still not grasp this.

              Instead, they completely lie and say we actually want people like Newsom and aren’t just willing to vote for him in the general to stop the literal fascism that has infected the country. After everything that’s happening, and they still cannot grasp this. How fucking stupid can you be?

              They will sit out again, and then whine and whine while we lose what’s left of our Republic.
