This is why Democrats lose.
gavin newsom is the embodiment of dem rot
that said, democrats have become incredibly toxic. the purity tests continue to eat them alive. stop participating in garbage.
“Don’t be a fascist, rapist, or bigot” isn’t a hard test.
It’s more like:
If you don’t 100% support Palestine and don’t want to immediately cut off ALL aid to Israel without any forethought or nuance as to what that would actually mean, then you are literally just as bad as the people committing genocide.
Or shit like:
If you positively engage with the Harry Potter franchise at any point, you are literally just as bad as those who lynch trans people.
Or things like:
Literally all landlords are parasites, with no exceptions . If you rent a building, you should be dragged out to the street and shot for selfishly hoarding property.
Ok but only the craziest fringe believes any of that.
Like you’re taking the most extreme “leftist” views and labeling them the same as all liberals views. To be quite honest, if the entire dem party ACTUALLY believed the things you listed, we would be making great progress.
But it’s just nonsense to drive everything even more right because obviously you don’t agree with those CRAZY Dems right? They want to NUKE ISRAEL!!
It’s not just him, the whole rightwing media system exists to turn the most extreme leftist political views and state that these are main stream. It’s been 10 years and we have no counter to it.
Newsom, a Democrat, has attempted a fresh approach to political divisiveness
Seriously? Lurching to the right and courting republican voters is new, is it? Seems to me it’s the same shit democrats have been doing for quite some time. Newsom should just get it over with and change parties.
He doesn’t need to switch parties though, the leadership is on board with throwing trans women under the bus and approving GOP spending bills.
Yet they can’t figure out why the Democrats are considered “toxic” right now, and their ratings are in the shitter.
California isn’t loving his schtick. I hope we vote him out in 2026 for governor. We’ll see how that works for his presidential asperations. What a moron
He’s term limited so he won’t be running again for Cali anyway
He’s setting up a go at the presidency. He knows that the DNC will want him to lean conservative, but he doesn’t want to be painted as flip flopping or pandering, so he’s leaning into it early. Now when the GOP inevitably calls him a woke far left extremist (or whatever buzz words they’re using by that time) he can point back to this period as proof that he’s “always been a centrist” who can appeal to non-MAGA conservatives.
Of course, he and the rest of the DNC haven’t figured out yet that conservative voters are NEVER going to vote for the LESS conservative party.
What the fuck, traitors. Can I have a source so I can look into this?
Source: Gavin Newsome on Joe Rogan. (I don’t know about the spending bills but the trans stuff. it was like 2 or 3 weeks ago I think. Time works differently in a Trump admin.)
Don’t forget that asshole filed an amicus brief supporting the Supreme Court decision that you can arrest homeless people even if they’re only camping outside because there’s no shelter space
He’s been consistent about putting the boot into the homeless since he was mayor of SF.
Gavin is making them even more toxic.
Democrats are toxic sissies.
I’m almost glad there won’t be elections anymore.
Gavin Newsome likes to talk to bigots on his podcast, now wants to call his former party toxic
He’s completely misreading WHY Democratic numbers are dropping - it’s not because they’re not working closely enough with Republicans; it’s because they’re not treating them as they have us and blocking every single thing they do!
This dumb ass thinks he has a change to become president after doing nothing substantial to address the devastating LA fires. Does he think he’s going to be popular outside California?
He’s throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus and badmouthing people to his left.
He’s putting in his application for preordained nominee.
It feels like democrats are trying to join republicans more and more cause they keep “winning.” The reality is that Republicans aren’t simply winning, but they are getting away with abandoning their constituents. Democrats who are in it for nothing but power are seeing this and starting to simply join the side in power. Newsom is no different and I won’t be surprised when he finally swaps colors.
Yea i’ve been trying to figure out whats going on with Newsom, but im convinced at this point he’s just a power hungery politican running to the winning team. Values as deep as his career will allow.
That’s not even close to the comment made, but whatever. Newsom has his own take I suppose, but the people have a completely different one. The latter is more important.
Hey, only progressives get to criticize the Democratic party. You’re way out of line, Newsom.
Newsom confirmed for being a Russian bot that made the account 5 days ago! /j
He’s a zionist anyway. We’re all full up of genocide apologists. He should leave.
Newsom’s look and mannerisms remind me of Christian Bale from American Psycho. I can easily imagine him as a serial killer if he weren’t getting his rocks off as a politician.
Politics attracts sociopaths and narricists who are only in it for the power. There was a guy named Steve Panky who ran for governor in Idaho a few yeaes ago and he was convicted of stalking and murdering a little girl back in the 80’s. He had a decent shot at winning too. If he had won I don’t think he would have been convicted.
So he’s gonna primary Trunk in 2028???
This would make a great republican campaign slogan. Maybe newsom has a good shot replacing trump
California is full of liberal fash. This dude is the main event.
I fucking hate my state for this shit. Acts like we’re better than Texas or Florida but still is proudly bigoted and hates the poor.
Hey california has a super progressive college system. instate tuition at community college 90% paid by the state? Thats like the most based social service in this country. It allowed a poor kid from the midwest like me to pay for college while working at the college.
We can be good, but we have a lot of poverty testing that prohibits others from that same system.
It is generous, and I hope we can keep it that way, but it also is means tested and often sucks people out of higher education. I’m personally a victim of that, with my local community college.
I am however thankful you got something good, and I wish more people could have it.
I went off to college back in the great recession so it really was like the best option i could find. The experience really shaped me as a person and im so greatful i didn’t lose my chance at education to poverty in a recession.
I’m sorry to hear they prevented you from that program. No system is without need for reform. Hopefully they can continue to improve the system and make it more inclusive.
