Every time they call him childish or insufferable, I just crack up. I think Newsom is probably the 2028 favorite right now, but it’s waaaaaaay too early to actually predict anything re: the Dem field
Replies
I will vote for whoever is the Dem nominee but I hope if its not Newsom that he continues to needle as a foil for whoever is the nominee. Very useful to have an alternate for MAGA hate.

Yep!! too early, can't predict next week!

If — that’s a big IF — he’s the nominee, we’ll see the Dems eat their own again (al la Kamala), and many “protest” votes or “didn’t” votes will allow Trump’s 3rd term that CAN* happen (if he’s still breathing). *Laws & the Constitution are only as binding as those with absolute power say they are.

What he's doing has a shelf life and he needs to stop, (and pivot to something else) NOW. If he goes one day too long it could backfire and set him back and lose him everything he's gained. Do it BEFORE it gets old and embarrassing.

Indeed, but I think the "favorite" is actually Pritzker.

And then we have the people who say they cannot vote for him and rather do not vote and we will loose again.

then maybe he shouldn’t run on a platform of “trans people shouldn’t get to participate in society or get healthcare” - and if all you can say is “that’s not exactly what he said! he’s done good things in the past!” i don’t know how to get through to you

we’ve got three years to pick someone better, and Pritzker and Walz are *both* doing better right now. if we can’t find someone better in three years, we don’t deserve to win

Then the country is done. I prefer Pritzker for the same reasons but people will find something negative about him. And the next option.

i’m okay with some negatives, everyone has them. i don’t think all negatives are equal, and if the negative is “i can’t get medical care, use public restrooms, have accurate id, or go outside without being assaulted” then i don’t think you can reasonably expect me to “work with that”

I don’t. And I get it. But look at what the alternative is. More Fascism. We had the same effect with “I cannot vote for Harris. She is way too soft on Israel.” And where did that get us now? I wish we had an ideal candidate. But we won’t. Thankfully (?) still time.

there are >350 million people in the USA. at least *one* of them isn’t willing to throw ethics under the bus whenever they think it’s politically expedient. i look forward to the DNC finding them.

there's also Andy Beshear, he's like Clinton without the baggage.

I prefer Pritzer but no way will I not vote or lose. As they say in a Code Blue. PICK IT AND STICK TO IT.

I'm from CA, and have volunteered for Newsom twice, but would still go for Pritzker any day.

I hope not, I still haven't forgiven him for the ignorant shit he said about trans people and for platforming fascists like Kirk on his stupid podcast.

Could somebody with connections PLEASE ask andy beshear to save the country with boring and normal for a few years.

Maybe they are all just too-Grok-centric? I had this really dumb conversation with Grok on Twitter and Grok didn’t get the parody either. Kept insisting that Newsom was hypocritical.

At this point I’m genuinely starting to wonder if Elon is just mainlining ketamine and personally responding to all of these 😵💫

Please no don't let it be Newsome in 28. I'll give him credit he is fighting a great fight against 45 right now but Newsome is a corporate shill.
