Newsom: The world we’ve come to know—and some of us revere and love. The country. All of that is now at risk because of the recklessness—and there’s no other way to describe it—of one individual: the President of the United States.

The biggest criticism of dems has been their intolerance in respecting that in a big tent not everyone will agree with you. So when I read the naysayers I have to wonder, what planet are you on. In America we get 2 choices, if you can’t figure out whether Gavin is better than Donald gimme a break.
apr 5, 2025, 2:54 am • 3 1 • view
I understand what you’re saying, but what a shitty choice. I think this is an issue with a two party system. The GOP is a fascist majority made up of puppets who will readily vacate any convictions and campaign promises in order to hold crumbs of power and line their wallets. Then we have the Dems 🧵

who have always been 🎪. It leaves someone who doesn’t want to support fascism *having* to support transphobes and racists just in hope to counter the lock step fascists. We need more parties. We deserve more choices.
apr 5, 2025, 7:55 am • 2 0 • view
We need to accept the choices we have. And in reference to Newsom he has been a leader in LGBTQ rights. Talking to a couple of assholes doesn’t make him racist either. False equivalency is how Trump got elected. He basically said so what if I’m corrupt so are they. And too many people bought it.
apr 5, 2025, 12:18 pm • 3 0 • view
You’re free to accept the choices we have, but if I’m given a more progressive option I’m gonna support and bolster that person instead.
apr 5, 2025, 1:14 pm • 0 0 • view
So if there are 3 choices, one is a left leaning centrist, which has approx 48% support, one is a hard right kleptocrat and has approx 48% support and the third sits to the hard left and has 4% support, which vote would better align with your beliefs & insure most of your values are met.
apr 5, 2025, 7:37 pm • 0 0 • view
If I have information like that, then I’m going to vote for the person who is going to do less damage overall. But in grassroots, I’m going to be working to pull up the other options. Consider if AOC broke away from Dems (this is a crazy hypothetical I know) and had her own party. It would take time
apr 5, 2025, 8:35 pm • 0 0 • view
but I would think it’s worth it to try and build up other options especially around a popular figure like an AOC. I guess I’m just saying that I feel like I don’t have a candidate who represents me as a legitimate choice and I’m always having to compromise.

For President? If so that’s true, but it’s always true? I’m not sure how that makes it so we can’t have a more diverse set of parties to choose from.
apr 5, 2025, 1:09 pm • 0 0 • view
Yes-for president. Forget about GOP, they’re a bunch of robots but we have a very diverse party that’s essentially 3 parties In the end, realistically, no matter the ideology of an AOC or a Fetterman, they’ll still need to be a centrist to function as prez. They can’t just blow off 1/2 the country
apr 5, 2025, 1:26 pm • 0 0 • view
I hate the centrist moniker. I think that’s the problem. Fighting for wages, healthcare, daycare, fair tax policy are just common sense policy. It’s the GOP who label these as far left policies. I think Dems need to stick to their core convictions & put the GOP on their back foot. Stop retreating.
apr 5, 2025, 1:32 pm • 0 0 • view
But don’t you think that was part of Kamala’s downfall? People wanted change in government. She went more centrist. She didn’t campaign with more progressive change policies so there were people who abstained rather than choose the status quo or Trump.
apr 5, 2025, 3:18 pm • 0 0 • view
Honestly she was dealt a losing hand. You’re not wrong though she did campaign as a centrist, which wasn’t authentic. Leaders aren’t afraid to stand up for their convictions. Biden crippled the party & she wasn’t a strong candidate. And the media sane washed Trump and that was enough.

When they provide ZERO pushback, the only conclusion to draw is that they agree. Newsom is a souless opportunist. And that is what he said. We can disagree on what our favorite color might be or what the best doughnut is, but we cannot disagree on whether people have the right to exist or not.

I will happily give you the answer right here, right now as to why they’re so appealing. It’s because of how unhinged they are. And that’s what the Dems need. They need to be more arrogant, more divisive, and pull way less punches. They need to do that, but with good policy positions.
