Newsom may be in this very same mode, but I want to win this war and make sure that we CAN vote for a president in 2028. Do I hope that there are better Dem candidates than him? Fuck yes! but I will vote for him if the alternative is another MAGA admin. I cannot sacrifice the good for the perfect.
I felt that you deserved a more nuanced response. Please accept it with that intent.
If the choice is between Newsom and another MAGA admin, sure. That choice is in *THREE YEARS*. Why is everyone so intent on whitewashing all of Newsom's MANY problems and settling for him when we have YEARS to find a better candidate?
Fair enough. I haven't forgotten his flaws as much as I am supporting him now in this fight. Definitely not whitewashing. I believe that there more people out there that can walk and chew gum at the same time, but we shall see. Praying hard for that!
And let me posit this: Do you think that all of the chatter about him running in '28, right or wrong, is an attempt by some to destroy the message by damning the messenger? That is classic PsyOps.
