Newsom is a cliff? I don’t think so. If Pritzker has the chops, he will succeed. Until then, Gavin is getting the attention. And it’s *all* about grabbing attention in 2025.
LittleDeeDemocrat (@littledeedemocrat.bsky.social) reply parent
Why?
LittleDeeDemocrat (@littledeedemocrat.bsky.social) reply parent
Happy if he doesn’t….but he is taking the equivalent fight to the Republicans who are stacking the deck (as they always have)
LittleDeeDemocrat (@littledeedemocrat.bsky.social) reply parent
I can’t remember what Pritzker did or said—that’s how hard he shook the tree. Newsom is leaving a mark and getting the *attention*….that is what is important in 2025. The attention.

How can you grab more attention from someone who is deploying the National Guard to take over a major American city because someone named Big Balls was beaten up by 15 year olds. There is nothing Democrats or otherwise can do to grab attention from that. Sorry. We will have to touch the hot stove.

Agree. But it’s a bit concerning that she barely squeaked out a win in the current political environment.

Hoover and his party were incredibly dominant in the ‘28 election. Ruled everything. Then the ‘29 crash happened. The ‘30 midterms were pretty brutal for Hoover’s party, but not as bad as ‘32. Political realignment happened then.

The *actual* crisis hasn’t happened yet. The September 1929 kinda crisis. Until then, status quo.

Everyone, including the rich, should receive the social security they paid into over the course of their lives. The key to its salvation, however, is raising the income amount paid into the system. That’s simply it.
