as opposed to defending a candidate who will *probably* be able to hold New Jersey

Bud, telling you your strategy sucks does not mean we're defending Newsom.

This strategy notably sucked *and failed* LAST YEAR! It notably failed to accomplish a single objective goal! And demonstrably made life worse for the vulnerable ethnic & racial minorities who desperately pleading with people not to try it!

He thinks we're defending Gavin Newsom

Even if that were the case, that's still a very silly, nonsense statement. Newsom is the governor of the third-largest and one of the most densely-populated states in the country, and he didn't win that office, or any of his prior ones, by accident. Never mind successfully fighting off a recall.

And if he was unlikely to win anything but New Jersey he would be unlikely to win the primary, in which case the argument is even more silly. Like saying "I will never vote for George Clooney."

Also weird for New Jersey to be catching strays here for some reason.

Thing I will throw into the pot here. Black folks never once got to vote for a candidate we consider an unequivocable good even Obama got side eye (not without reason). And as I said in another post I don't think Newsom is a long term problem. Long way to go!

The man can't go one week without a story about his shitty homeless policies or palling around with some rightwing chode. And he's got next to NO relationship with Black voters as far as I can tell. Do you think that dude with his "I don't see color" ass face can win a SC Dem primary?

We gotta make it to the fucking midterms without election interference first! Worrying about Nesome now is energy that could much better be spent going to a labor day protest or protecting democratic institutions around us.

Nope! I also don’t think, given his present course, that he should. But conversely….if I were a gambling man, I would have lost the farm over Joe Biden winning the 2020 primary.

Catching strays is basically the state pastime

NJ being the closest thing to a swing state that Gavin wouldn't be radioactively unelectable in

I think you should probably read up on *actual* voter demographics in California, rather than rolling with the stereotypical "blue state" vibe.

Then he will have zero chance in the primary, and you're trying to persuade people (poorly) not to do a thing they aren't planning to do.
