They have to invent stuff to be mad at because if they told people what they were really mad at they would come off as unreasonable at best, unhinged at worst.

Look at this man's eyes and tell me he isn't at least an 8-ball deep
Priority number one is defeating fascism. Now. Tomorrow. Always. Newsome is a fascist, his defeat and the defeat of all other fascists is, and should be, what people are going to focus on.
Also important to note that Newsome’s policies are explicitly fascist and need to be spoken against. That’s the reason people speak against them, but that in no way means other candidates aren’t being lifted up by the same people speaking out against Newsome.
We are doing that. I can’t speak to what’s reported beyond the US border, but Chris van Hollen, Elizabeth Warren, JB Pritzker, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Pete Buttigieg, Tim Walz, and some others have all been speaking out as much as Newsome, and more effectively.
There are already many better options in the mix & more will begin making themselves known. He’s not even that popular in California, he’d be an absolute disaster. I honestly can’t think of a WORSE candidate on the dem side, which is why I find the premise that he’s the best option deeply confusing.
The dude’s the beginning of an IDLES song come to life, particularly “and a bag of Charlie Sheen.” He’s like if Ellis from Die Hard got elected governor.
Not being a bigot isn’t a purity test, it’s part of the standard. If he can’t meet the standard he should not be considered. Diet fascism will lose to full flavor fascism 10 times out of 10, 100 times out of 100, 1000 times out of 1000.
Shitty bigots depending on trump to maintain their status.
Let's open up the fighting pits and let them duel it out
Happy for you but my heart goes out to anyone trying to get through SODO today
I can only dream of having takes so certifiably bad that it gains me 17k followers
Obligatory Coco Crisp shoutout
I got a job at a body shop because if I didn't get a job my dad said he's cut my allowance.
Honestly though y'all, it's Labor Day Weekend, he probably just went into labor.
Current Mood:
Not all republicans are like your pals the Baileys; imaginary and subject to your flights of fancy.
#NeverNewsome. Pick someone else.
I don't care what any of you say, this guy fucking sucks.
Me: “Lemme get uhhhhhh” Drive Thru Speaker: “You should k*ll yourself”
Just stand up to them and they shrink. It really is that easy.
Good to have at least one senator worth keeping around.
One of the best decisions I ever made politically was unsubscribing from PSA and TYT
The man is a congregation of two or more pandas.
Gotta love how these ghouls suddenly find the backbone to oppose genicide when they no longer have any power to do anything about it. #Brave
I have the same contempt for anyone who wears this shit as I do any maga people
This is why bipartisanship is so important to the dem leadership; controlled opposition is essential to running the machine they benefit from and they’re happy to oblige.
Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social
Hey as long as they’re picking up trash in parks, they’re not hurting anyone. Some may say it’s a best case scenario.
That’s giving them a huge benefit of the doubt though. I think it’s just as likely that they want fascism because it protects their elite status.
lol and lmao. Lmfao even.
Robust social programs exist side-by-side with business in a lot of countries. Socialism does not mean the end of business and commerce. Wish people were intellectually curious enough to figure this out.
It would be great if there were a candidate that actually represented the majority of public opinion that didn’t find it necessary to throw one or more demographics under the bus as some sort of sacrifice upon the alter of attaining power.
Newsome wants to lock up the unhoused and drive trans folks out of public life. I will not vote for him without a massive change to his platform. Pritzker is severely pro-militarization and unlikely to back a wealth tax. I’m more likely to vote for him, but still unlikely.
They like what is happening. Fascism protects their elite status.
Welcome to the consequences of being a transphobe.
This is what pressuring and criticizing milquetoast politicians gets us. Don’t ever stop. Push until you collapse.
Hope it turns around for you.
The only photos I took at Thing Festival this weekend, Tundi Adibimpe and some llamas
Do you want Dems to win in the future? Then it is time to stop listening to all the ex-GOPers who are trying to turn the Dem Party into the GOP-lite they yearn for. (With special thanks to @rbreich.bsky.social for the good video I included with the post.) open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...
As someone who grew up with an angry daddy ready to hurt someone, I feel this deeply.
Nothing in the article refers to anything stated in the post, yet respectable people on here keep sharing it around. Let’s not create fake reasons not to like these people when they give us so many real reasons every day.
Where in the article does it mention what you posted? I can’t find a single source that cites what you wrote.
I'm not making it about all dems, I'm making it about specifically the establishment types, like Jeffries, who are mad now that they realize they could have run as genuine people and not bots programed by donors and focus groups.
I'm not hung up on anyone endorsing or not endorsing anyone. I'm simply pointing out that there's clear resentment from establishment types like Jeffries toward upstarts like Mamdani, and I believe this is why.
Oh he absolutely did, but the sale wasn't completed until after he won the primary.
He won the primary
Trading for a player who consistently owns your team is exactly why I traded for Aiden Hutchinson in my Madden franchise. Sound logic, if you ask me.
Charlie Kirk Cousins: "YOU LIKE THAT!?!?" Me: "No sir, I do not."
The reason people like Hakeem Jeffries can't stand people like Zohran Mamdani is the exact same reason people like the Clintons couldn't stand Obama when he first ran; he's showing them that you can win without selling your soul to a machine, and they resent him for it.
We have successfully outsourced imagination
Pharcyde in general is criminally underrated, definitely one of the groups that first got me into hip-hop
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
It’s meant to resonate with his donors. If he doesn’t say things verbatim the way they coaches him, they might turn off the money faucet.
lol who the fuck even are you to talk down to someone like this, let alone someone who’s rights are under attack. Sorry to break it to you, “kiddo,” but you’re a piece of garbage and no one cares what you think
I’ve saved a lot of money by simply taking bites of random people’s sandwiches at restaurants

We don’t capitulate on human rights. If you wanna demon up, that’s your problem. Leave the actual human beings out of it.
Betting he doesn’t even crack the top 3 in his own state’s primary
The centrists just un-endorsed their mayoral candidate in Minneapolis. Talk about shameful; www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/p...
Democratic politicians are directly responsible for what adjunct liberal arts professors say. Republican politicians are not even responsible for what they themselves say.
Define “normal” in this context.
Oh come on man, don’t platform these guys. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.
We have enough wealth in this country to provide quality healthcare to every inhabitant in this nation, citizen or no. Unfortunately that wealth is also what keeps these dickwads in power, so...
Whatever is in that doc must be pretty damaging to the NFL
I won't say I would never vote for him, but in order to earn my vote he would have to: -reverse course on his transphobia and show material evidence -admit going on fash podcasts was a mistake -reverse course on sweeping homeless encampments and show material evidence I just don't think he will.
Bitch bye
How many marginalized people do we throw under the bus for your “victory?” Is there a number at which you draw the line, or should they all be thrown into a wood chipper for your comfort?
Newsome is a piece of shit and so are the people who defend him. If you want to address the problem, start by looking in the mirror.
This is such an amazing description of South Park, holy shit. The message of the post is spot on, as well, but this really articulated my issue with SP better than I’ve been able to.
Literally a lovecraft setting (obligatory “lovecraft was a piece of shit” interjection)
Ginger oyster guy in Maine looks good but I’d like to know where he falls on military spending. I’m always dubious of former military in congress specifically because of this.
Ever since Nixon’s first term, actually. This all started with the Nixon administration and was codified under Reagan. Trump isn’t the cause of any of this. He’s just a really destructive symptom.
I’d argue your willingness to embrace a virulent transphobe makes you not at all an ally
No way she wasn’t threatened by AIPAC
They got a call from their donors I’d bet.
I guess if your center is fascism then sure yeah this is technically to the left of fascism, but barely.
We DO deserve better opposition to those policies than you have been able to muster, thank you for finally admitting it.
Lol
Watch your head, you're about to run right into the point
Rob Liefeld is a good comic book artist, actually
Hi were you in cryostasis from 2016 to 2018?
I moved to a swing state to knock doors for Obama in 2008 and then he bailed out the banks after the crash, caved to insurance companies (via congressional republicans) on the ACA, and drone-struck thousands of innocent civilians to death. My work to get D's elected is why I'm critical of them.
I wish ill on JK Rowling. I wish ill on Gavin Newsome. I wish ill on Rahm Emanuel. I wish ill on Riley Gaines. I wish ill on Donald Trump and his entire administration. And if you're also a virulent transphobe like these virulent transphobes, I wish ill upon you, as well.
“I have had two - not one, but TWO - faces eaten by the leopards, but I’d vote for the leopards again because I know they care about eating faces”
There will be way more anti-AIPAC options in the primary, and most of them will be way better options than Mayo Pete.
At last, the opportunists are on board
“Lettuce do our jobs!”
They have a duty to refuse illegal orders. They are not doing that, so fair game.

And this dude is barely even opposition.
That’s the thing though. That’s not their goal.
