He ain’t fucking wrong.
They also rigged the last election, and every election for several decades.
If all of the Geriatric Old Pedophiles various attempts at election fraud were prosecuted the US wouldn't be a failing fascist state today.
"Purging" voters, "gerrymandering", etc are morally and ethically no different than election fraud; you've already chosen treason against democracy.
This entire attack on blue cities is so obviously an extension of the ballot box violence scare tactics used by the red hats during the last election.
I don’t see anyone pointing it out in the media.

for the love of God, don't stick is with newsome
AOC is my top choice, but I know everybody has a million reasons why America wouldn't elect her as president.
But, I had this thought the other day, and I know this is nobody's dream team, but possibly the odd couple situation that just might work. Am I crazy for thinking a Pritzker-AOC ticket might actually have a decent chance?

Reading the comments, it seems a lot of people here are totally fine to make good the enemy of perfect and repeat history all over again.
Enjoy the fascism folks. We’re in it for the long haul it seems.
You're just now figuring out that we're in fascism, but telling people to "enjoy" it? lol

Quit trying to make Newsome happen
It's really fucking tone deaf to push a Zionist in the face of cratering support for Israel among Democratic voters.
But then the Democratic party has a history of being tone deaf, like Biden picking Kamala "top cop" Harris for vp during the height of the George Floyd protests.
Biden won, but these stunts often fail.
If someone isn't capable of making the easy call to be against genocide, then they absolutely can't be trusted to be defenders of democracy.
We gotta quit pretending it's about this one issue or that one issue. Over and over again we see that there are politicians committed to fighting for what's right, and there are politicians who aren't. That's it. That's the line. The politicians that sell out to AIPAC are selling out to big tech, to Wall Street, to the military industrial complex, etc.
Yes, Obama, who was okay, bombing people in the middle east, many of which were innocent, doesn't care about the, innocent people, in the US.
If they care, they should be in the front line protesting the shit show of the ICE. They are the one that cannot be touch by Trump and his government. He is the one who doesn't fear losing his life nor does he fear losing his income.
These people are out of touch, they hope Trump do as much damage so they can get voted in without the need to listen to their voters.
It is like a divorce kid, where both parents are abuser. One of which doesn't abuse you as much as knows that the other is worst.
People and Unions should break this abusive cycle.
All this astrofurfing and campaigning for Newsom is just a proactive effort to preempt any radical voices from gaining traction from the anti-Trump momentum. That’s the top of their agenda right now, institutional integrity and democracy is at best second.
this has little to do with campaigning for newsom… it’s about supporting the counter to republican gerrymandering
you might be right in general, but this is not that context
This is a great example of "the left" being manipulated to turn on itself. Newsom ain't great but he is better than anything my former party Republicans put forth. If he makes it through the primaries, please for the love of Satan vote for him in the general. If Republicans win again it's completely over. If I were still one I'd be completely OK with so many worse things happening. Be more scared of what is yet to come than a groveling centrist like Newsom.
Newsom, the Zionist guy who likes destroying homeless people's encampements for PR ain't "great". That's quite an understatement.
You both can be right with these seemingly opposed stances. Doesn‘t matter actually, all that matters is that the left is divided and the right isn‘t. That‘s all it takes for evil to win.
Change that!
This is my point reiterated. I don't like newsom either, but i would vote for him 1x10^100 if he were the candidate in the general. The "he is being normalized" shit is why the left loses all the time. Complain about him, but don't assume enough centrists wont vote for him in the primaries for him to be the general candidate. I'm tired of people not voting, then bitching about the current administration.

I’ve been watching republicans do illegal things my entire life. Nobody has ever stopped them
Some judges have.
Some people like the ACLU and Marc Elias have.
Etc.
Stopped all illegal things they do? No. But many real people have stopped many real things.
Maybe they slowed them down but this decent into facism didn’t happen overnight
Obama... Obama... The mainstream dude?
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/137156-obama-says-hed-be-seen-as-moderate-republican-in-1980s/
Lets not forget Obama (in-part) paved the way for the shit we're in now
So they're finally acknowledging it.
They are actively shaping the electoral environment. They don't just want to, they are actively preparing to do so.
Project Red Map was never a secret.
As far as I can tell, Newsom is just a 'fascist, but not too obvious, so people won't protest' kind of candidate. A perfect pick if you want to salvage what remains of the empire and delay its inevitable collapse. But then again, it's not like Americans have any reasonable candidates. And we're also going on the assumption that there will be another election, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Would he be an improvement for the American people? And for other countries? At the very least, minorities in the USA would be [mostly] safe for a few years.
He’s just your stereotypical neoliberal corporate Democrat which is a much better alternative to Trump’s admin. I don’t like Newsom like most on here, but if he gets the nomination still show the fuck up.
He's a capitalist. Fascist I don't think so. We have to stop purity testing left candidates, it's a trap. So what if he doesn't have every opinion we have - he's more in touch with the average voter on those issues, frankly. We need to start thinking like we want to win, not like we want to be right.
Leftists in USA do need to band together, and I feel like it is more difficult to do so because of our individually. Most of our goals are common.
