    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.
