I'm not sure how we measure "who is electable". Right now I think it's more important to find candidates who have absolutely no connection to the current Democrat power structure. Primary out the corrupted ones and those afraid to fight and replace them with working-class candidates with Rizz.

Damn straight.

At this point in time an unflushable floating turd would suffice to run America and prob do a better job than the child molester pedophile rapist enabler doing the job now

Two clankers jerking each other off in a competition to see who can suck off a transphobe 3 years before they can even think of voting for him in an election

Newsom is unelectable and LGBTQ people are telling you that right now.

Deja a trans woman has become homeless She has a place to stay out of state but she has no way to get there and no money she only needs $150 to get there. This would keep her alive and safe is anyone willing to help with this?

crazy as it might sound, of all the people folk are talking about, I feel like Hunter Biden has more potential than Newsom. I wouldn't trust either of them, but we know Newsom's a scumbag who doesn't believe in shit

I'm genuinely unsure of what to make of Hunter. He was a scummy businessman in the past, but it's also possible that being in recovery has changed him. Was talking with a friend about this, and we agreed that it could be viable for him to run off of getting a "second chance."

Right now, it’s to support who is FIGHTING.

Though unfortunately that criteria also fitted the orange moron...twice. 😞

100% true. And the reality is, my Big-Tent Democratic Party will NEVER become homogeneous robots like Republican voters & THAT is what should UNITE us. #DemsUNITED or we lose everything.

I do not want to "unite" with worthless right wing bigots. You can "unite" with your fellow centrist fucks and enjoy losing

gavin’s neither

By that case there’s a whole fucking list better than newsom Rights aren’t a fucking debate as they never should have. You know who does debate rights? Republicans. DONT BE A REPUBLICAN!

I can't even imagine how many hours Ive spent on this trying to convince people Hillary didn't steal emails and Joe didn't commit Genocide. Before that I wrote countless letters to editors trying to convince Nader voters that Gore and Bush were not the same.

Maybe you worthless morons should nominate someone people will vote for then.

Or you could do your own work and nominate someone.

I'm a labor organizer. I have my own shit to do.

I’m glad. I hope you have incredible success. That topic is separate from not doing the work and blaming others.

If Joe didn't commit genocide, what became of all those weapons he gave to Israel?

They became grist for people looking for simple answers.

100% Kamala lost because too many people let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I'm seeing that again now with Newsom. Yeah, the guy ain't perfect. But he's meeting the moment with exactly what's necessary. Instead of taking a lead from it, people are intent on focusing on why he's not great.

hahahahaha. any oily cunt who can win.! ARE WE REALLY GONNA DO THAT AGAIN>?

I DOUBT NEWSOM CAN WIN, BUT OKAY. LET'S HELP THE DEMOCRATS SHOVE MY GOVERNOR DOWN EVERYONE'S THROAT JUST BX CAMILLE ZAPATA, THE HEAD OF HIS 3 PERSON TEAM WRITING ALL THAT BRILLIANT TROLLING, IS KILLIN IT.

Is... Is Newsome the literal only person on the planet that can fit that spot or do they have a couple fucking years to be able to find someone suitable and y'all are just okay with the bare minimum as usual and allowing them to fucking give us scraps? Fuck transgender people again, I guess.

Human rights are apparently always a bargaining chip if it's not YOUR humanity being bargained with, I guess.

For fuck's sake I'm not talking about the presidency. I'm merely talking about taking the lead from what he's currently doing. Which is an offensive that's working. Unlike writing strongly worded letters. But folks on the left can't even seem to do that.

And when newsom loses in 2028, you’ll happily throw us queers under the bus once again Thanks but no thanks

I don't know how to be any more clear about the fact that I'm not talking about the presidency. But by all means, continue to make my point for me. All that I'm saying is look at what the man is doing now, which is clearly working, and more people should do that. But we can't. Because perfection.

What’s that sound? Is that an approaching diesel engine? Weird….

I guess saying trans folk have the right to safety and dignity is perfection and just plain ol unobtainable An well

Two things can be true at the same time. Trans people can have the right to safety and dignity. -and- We can look at what Newsom is currently doing that's working, and more Dem leaders can follow that lead. Or we can just continue to sit by idly whilst writing strongly worded letters. 🤷🏼

OR and this third option is definitely still a possibility and I'm not sure why everyone is DEAD SET on Newsom, We find another candidate that isn't queer phobic during a time when our rights are being attacked? Is Newsome the ONLY mother fucker? And fuck a letter. You sure do seem to think

You know what the fuck I'm about based on the bullshit of a bunch of other mother fuckers that's not ME. *I* throw bricks. *I* go to rallies.*I* make my voice loud and proud and heard and *I* don't SETTLE. Like I love how you're shitting on better writers. At least they don't fucking settle

Oh, the irony of accusing me of being a scold

Newsom doesn't meet the bare minimum, he stands for nothing other than making the rich richer at the expense of everything else, continuing the trend that keeps giving us Trump.

I just don't get why we have to settle on THIS guy when there's a few YEARS time to select literally ANYONE else. Why is it so pertinent that we go with THIS guy?? Why can't we also include folks who want ALL of us to be okay? Why are some of us okay fodder?? Haven't the horrors of treating other

marginalized people exactly like fodder not been enough of a fucking wake up to NOT be this way?? Why do folks keep going "well it's not okay to do to THESE people we've decided are human, but THESE other's yeah...totally acceptable??" Are people so desperate for a political savior they're

so ready to jump at the first person that smiles at them?! I don't get it!

We don't have to, but wealthy interests who don't foresee personal benefit from Trump remaining in office are already trying to build cultural consensus around Newsom so he SEEMS like the already-agreed-upon candidate/the "only" candidate. The consent manufacturing machine is whirring away.

Maybe Kamala lost for the same reason Hillary lost. THEY WEREN’T ELECTABLE. Clearly. WTFU #BlueMAGA

Kamala was infinitely more electable than the orange douche that got elected. So, way to prove my point, I guess.

Actually, I think Kamala losing to someone like Trump proves my point. She was not electable. Clearly. Neither was Hillary. Clearly Folks like you should read the room and sit down and shut the fuck up. You’re running on a losing record and still trying to convince people you’re not. Sit Shut

"Kamala was more electable than the guy she lost to" is an insane take. It's actually insane. Are you listening to yourself? "Well see other than the fact that people won't vote for them our centrist ghouls are electable" Do you comprehend how much of an idiot this makes you sound

If "electability" does not mean "can win an election" maybe your blue maga imbeciles should reconsider your standards for "electability" and nominate someone who people might actually vote for

Just me sitting back here sipping my coffee watching more folks continue to make my point for me.

If you’re trying to prove you’re no different from MAGA, you’ve succeeded in spades. You apparently live in the same upside-down world they live in, which makes you highly suspect and more likely a bot or paid douchebag.

Your point being that you're extremely stupid?

If that's your takeaway, so be it. Enjoy reaping what you've sown. 🥃

This is your crop, capitalist pig posing as a leftist. Typical pig. Project what you are responsible for doing onto others. Keep blaming the actual left. We really do not care how much you project your failures onto us. It’s just another reflection of you being losers.

We'll both be eating shit because blue maga garbage like you would rather lose with a bad candidate than win with a good one. Quisling filth.

If people won't vote for you, that means you're not electable. It doesn't matter if you think the reasons people won't vote for you are "making the enemy of the good". Your fascist ghouls are not electable and no amount of whining will change that. You want another four years of Rs and you'll get it

Electability in #BlueMAGA lingo means “any capitalist pig in blue not on the actual left” You know. Unelectable to those of us on the actual left.

I've joked that Dems do not consider "can win an election" as a factor in "electability" but these losers have started saying it outright and it makes me wonder what kind of drugs I would have to take for how long to give myself that level of brain damage

Given their skill at mental gymnastics I get the sense they’re paid operatives attempting to muddle reality You know…agents of billionaires, members of the cult of capitalism

Eh, I don't really go in for that kind of conspiratorial thinking. There are SOME centrist ghoulbots but most of these guys are just victims of propaganda and/or right wing dipshits who just don't like how rude the Rs are and are dishonest about their motivations

The billionaires and operatives that pay and get paid? they’re everything you can imagine and worse, far worse.

Kamala lost because she displayed tremendous moral cowardice and deference to a historically unpopular Joe Biden. She didn't give the voters what they demanded and hoped not being Trump would be enough to win the election like it was in 2020 (but not 2016). And after she lost, she disappeared.

Kamala didn’t lose. The election was stolen.

I'm mtired of you people thinking we're demanding world peace or some shit. We want HUMAN RIGHTS. BOOTLICKERS!

SCREAM IT!!!

Every poll had Bernie beating trump by a big margin in every swing state. Rashida Tlaib outperformed Kamala on the same ballot even notoriously right wing suburbs AOC wins in a landslide every time JD Pritzker is incredibly popular Electable does not mean corporate right winger like you people think

You people would vote for Trump if he changed nothing but party affiliation.

Just incredible divorced energy

These profiles are incredibly bot- coded.

Okay: NEWSOM IS UNELECTABLE did you get it that time?

I fear you got AI pfps there. They tend to not get stuff at any point in time.

I had a 25-year-old Trump HATING woman tell me today that she “doesn’t like” Gavin Newsom (she doesn’t know anything about him, but she doesn’t like him). I said you are part of the problem. If his name is at the top of the ticket in 2028 you better put a check mark ✅ by his name.

You're not informed enough to judge what that woman knows and what she doesn't. Gavin Newsom is a transphobic psychopath who pathologically hates the homeless and only loves his corporate donors.

Provide receipts or delete your account.

Here you go. fortune.com/2024/08/09/g...

I hate that this article says he's an LGBT ally (he fucking isn't) but he said this on his podcast alongside his guest, notorious Neo-Nazi and Turning Point owner Charlie Kirk. (why is he letting Nazis have a fucking platform?) abcnews.go.com/Politics/cal...

And he did several photo ops of him destroying people's property just because they were homeless. Not only that, but he is threatening to withhold funds from cities that have homeless people in them. That enough evidence for you, you MAGA fuckhead? www.cnn.com/2024/07/28/u...

I know her well. She wants Harris to run again. She’s mad Harris “gave up” after orange turd won. She said she doesn’t know anything about Newsom. She didn’t understand the diff between primary & general election. She relies on a family member for political info but they’re not speaking right now.

#2 rule is a comms team that isn’t run by a think tank or bunch of sissy’s.. Hitting back on every statement, accusation, etc is critical. Pretending the opposition isn’t there is bad strategy.

okay, I will: NEWSOM IS LESS ELECTABLE THAN EVEN KAMALA HARRIS IS, YOU FUCKING MORONS!

Let me guess… “Electable” is anyone not on the actual left. Surprise surprise You centrists (capitalist pigs) should go back to your home party on the right. They need centering. The left doesn’t need to be undermined by you anymore. Go home, losers. You gave us Trump. TWICE

Electable? You mean like Hillary and Kamala? That worked out well.

Most people who say this think "electable" is synonymous with "moderate that nobody likes"

None of the worthless right wing trash you people want to elevate are electable, go fuck yourself

lmao this dumbshit about "electability" is how the Dems keep losing Large parts of the base are telling you now they won't vote for a homeless hating transphobe. How is that good for Gavin's electability? How about being one of the least like governors in America by his own state?

He's not electable for the ppl you claim to care about. Stop thinking youre better than them.

Just admit you'd be okay with what Trump is doing if Democrats were in charge instead

exactly! this strategy worked for is president harris & it'll work for newsom! 🙌
