jfc.
No! Not Harris! AOC! AOC! Newsome for vise!
DNC leadership still hasn’t learned anything from the last several elections. They still want to push voters towards their “chosen” and favored candidates. Too bad the voters want something other than corporate center right establishment shills.

I think it’s always been this way. I remember Chomsky talking about polling on issues.
It seems like the only thing different now is that corporate media outlets are not the only source of information. They haven’t been the only since the 90s. But somewhere along the way, we hit a tipping point as far as a handful of broadcast and cable networks and a few newspapers no longer being able to entirely control the narrative…
Stupid mfers. Liberal vs liberal battling to see who is more conservative
Gross, how about someone that represents the people instead of corporate lapdogs?
Like I’ll take a complete unknown over a known loser and clearly self-interested slimeball any day.
LOL, I am looking at 2020 primary info on Wikipedia. Except for Warren and Bernie, there wasn’t much of a bench.
I suspect Newsom would do much better than Kamala, who I suspect would probably do even worse in a primary than she did back in 2020, because she’s just so milquetoast. But many in that stable were. Buttigieg? Klobuchar?
I so don’t give a fuck. My god like campaigning is not early enough as is. Work on the problems we have now! We still have three more years of this shit unless the midterms get rid of enough republicans.
Jfc indeed.
But I do like that they are the “leaders” of the race right now because history shows for the Dems the early leader never gets close to the top in the end.
Newsom will have a good run, and just might be the next president. Im predicting. Maybe badly.
I think his insulin thing for CA is pretty great, and a lot of his detractors admitted it too.
And his transphobia thing?
Or hate for the homeless, or hate for workers rights
Wtf? Why would it be?
I’d rather lose. At least then the kids will be forced to fight for their rights again and take them seriously. You don’t deserve them if you don’t protect them.
Everyone deserves their rights. They are not earned or bestowed. Justifying any excuse to turn rights into privileges is just a tantrum. Grow up.
Except the right to party. That one you gotta fight for.
In reality rights are earned, often painfully.
It sounds lovely to pretend they transcend humanity, but the fact is only humans can enforce and uphold them.
Rights must be protect or they will be lost.
I mean if you forget the lesson of the American Founders. One person isn’t being seated so they have no taxation without representation. Then you had Elon come on and steal everyone’s information with zero accountability.
I believe everyone has fundamental rights. A slave deserves rights. A free person deserves rights. But there is a distinction between the two. One either recently fought for their rights or their parents or grandparents did.
