Let's meet fire with napalm.

Agree!! I wish the other Dem leaders would follow suit. Flood the zone with that kind of energy. 24/7. Let's go!🙏🇺🇸

I hope he means it

Great. Waiting to see him meet anti-trans fire with pro-trans fire.

tbh after that election settle in and get ready to wait like six years. thank a non-voter.

gotta cover his home base first www.cnn.com/2023/09/25/u...

Right?? LOVE it

Imagine having a president with such mental sharpness and communication skills?

Amen!

THAT’S what I’ve been waiting to hear! 🤩✊🏼

Please run for president! Please! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Newsom 2028

About time a Democrat speaks the plain truth to what is happening ands what needs to be done to fight it.

I want to go to Germany next year and tell my family there that we are fighting back.

He did a great job

The world we knew, warts and all, is over. Even if we defeat fascism, there is no “normal” to return to. We need so many things to change.

Like the energy, but he is only saying it to raise his profile. He is not a savior. Just another playing the game. It's sad. We deserve better.

And who do you feel this better would be?

Got nothing really. Just been even more jaded from the last few years.

So nothing to contribute but performative contrarianism. Thanks.

Oh blow it out your ass.

you had better but she didn't get elected

Don't really disagree. But I don't think our way out is politicians that are in it for themselves. And that is what Newsome seems like to me.

You seem to be only in it for yourself as well.

I've been following him since 2004 and honestly it's the opposite. he's just savvy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fra...

So much in politics is a facade. But I think this is the best facade to meet this moment. Hope more governors, senators, and representatives follow suit.

In a sense, I hope he's a "trial balloon" that nat'l Democrats will watch to see how much groundswell there is behind this movement. They must begin behaving differently than they have; and those staying beholden to the money that's the root of these problems need to be voted out. #GetOnThisTrain

It feels good to see him call it out. I hope it spreads.

He's not the person I would have picked to lead the fight, but he's the only one who volunteered.

Right? LFG! No more bringing knives to gun fights.

Wow, that's lit 🍃

My hero… finally!!😊👏👏

I think it’s great that Newsom is fighting the TX redistricting move vigorously (along with Pritzker and even Hochul) but let’s please not forget the very crummy stuff he’s stood for in the last few years when we go shopping for a ‘28 candidate ok guys

How about we just enjoy the moment, ok?

this is ridiculous.

I’m not looking for perfect. I’m looking for someone who will defeat Trump and fascism. OK guys.

Ok but let’s say we have more than one person running in 2028, can we make the person our nominee who is going to defeat Trump AND who doesn’t routinely throw vulnerable populations under the bus

Hopefully. But I’m voting for whoever it is, even if they don’t check all my boxes. Because I’m not a child.

that's a leftist smear to destroy the coalition

We’re part of the coalition too, you know! I voted for Biden and Harris, despite serious disagreements with both. We can do much, much better than Newsom. Just sayin

Right now Newsom is doing what’s needed. How about you just say thank you and watch it play out.

politics requires hard decisions. if you think you can find a candidate who's both a contender and totally pure, good luck in your senior year. a lot of leftists are trying to grift by calling Newsom anti-Trans, and that's just ludicrous horseshoe shit.

A lot of D's with a range of political views dislike Newsom, even when they applaud some of his actions. There's nothing wrong with that. There are a number of good candidates out there. As you say, none of them are pure or perfect.

I just want to weed out the leftists who are going to promise not to vote for whomever wins the primary.

leftists aren't Dems, there was a DSA guy in the thread acting like a D even.

I guess it depends what someone means by the labels. I don't see a lot of consistency out there. The Democratic nominee for mayor of NYC is a member of the DSA and arguably a leftist, but I think a Democratic nominee is by definition a Democrat.

Luckily BlueSky is not going to decide any elections, primary or general

yeah when I say weed out I mean block/mute like I do with the Palestine-pilled

Never said totally pure! Just better than this dude please!

yeah like I said if you fell for the leftist propaganda it's gonna be a long election season for you.

His trans politics are just a google away. And how am I grifting? I’m not selling anything. I do not have a patreon. Bluesky doesn’t pay me to post

yep www.cnn.com/2023/09/25/u...

The homeless are people. Trans people are people. I’d like a nominee who can fight Trump and also know these things

And if the future nominee doesn’t check both those boxes, will you stay home and sulk?

lol I mean if you've fallen for the leftist propaganda idk what to tell you

1. Amazing legs in the front row left..2. please God libs, don't run Newsom just bc u like how he teases trump...
