My, God the blue no matter who crowd is annoying. I've voted for the Dem candidate every single time. Spare me your lectures. We haven't even started the primaries yet. Newsom absolutely sucks balls, and it's ok to say so.

Nope, it's not okay!

The Democrats are damned if they don't and damned if they do. Whether or not you like Newsom, at least he's speaking up and speaking out. Other Democrats are spitting into the wind and getting it thrown back into their faces. You don't have to like him but, at least, help him hold the line.

I hope he keeps on doing what he's doing. I also hope he's not the nominee. Both things can be true.

I'm not saying I wouldn't vote for him, but tone policing folks who don't want him to run is so weird.

I'm exhausted by the right, ICE, cruelty camps, compromised judiciary, military in cities & on and on. We all are tired. I'm an old woman raising a granddaughter on SS, protested in the '60s & now have no answers. The fight right now is tactical -- disrupt the insanity or we can't go forth at all.

I understand. I can't say whether or not I'd vote for him. It depends on which other Democrat is in the running. 🤷♀️

I know this is probably a silly question because if they could have, perhaps they would have; but do you have a Board or Commision that might consider moving the primaries to an earlier date? Maybe a petition to consider this might help. 🤷♀️

Corporate democrats are Republicans in drag occupying the Democratic Party to render it useless to workers. We have 2 parties, because it's easier and cheaper to bribe 2 parties. Both parties are not the same, they serve billionaires differently.

Can we get a leader with an edge who doesn't platform Nazis, throw trans kids under the bus, or pose in photo ops throwing away poor people's things? I like what he's doing now with the redistricting and trolling. I just hope we do better when the primary comes.

It's important to say it, bc we don't want him to have presidential ambitions and act accordingly, right? We want the governor of California to finish out his last years of elected office with his tail between his legs. Right, that's what we want?

There is no way The Heritage Foundation is going to keep Trump in the Presidency . The Epstein Saga is going to be his downfall. I’m sure it was planned.They want (unfortunately) Vance in. So, not only are the Dems going to be out so are the MAGA’s. Project 2025 is here.

Criticism is fine, but at least Newsom has a pulse. At this point who gets the attention and gives the unifying message he does, Bernie? Bernie’s trying, but doesn’t get the national attention Newsom does. This moment requires fighters, regardless if they’re your favorite candidate or not.

You are 100% correct. They are always the centrists or establishment Dems talking about candidates that are completely owned by the Oligarchy. And yet they didn't endorse Mamdani it appears that the blue no matter who is all bullshit if blue is anything other then an oligarch owned politician.

Lesser of 2 evils works less and less. That's why so many people don't vote. Which rich a hole is going to serve corporate needs for the next 4 years is not compelling to people who can't pay their electric bill.

It's not obsessing about perfection to want someone with consistent moral standards. The time to settle for mediocrity is when he (God forbid) is the nominee. Meanwhile, I hope his trolling and redistricting measures work. That's the present part of the struggle. We are capable of nuance here.

It matters because you need to acknowledge people’s disgust in the options. It would be be if it was anyone else, but he’s doing what needs to be done. 100% got my support.
aug 15, 2025, 6:11 pm • 1 0 • view
WHY do we need to acknowledge that in the same breath? It's saying the "disgust" is as important as the steps he's taking now. If he's a monster, let's lock him out for good. Is he a monster?
aug 15, 2025, 8:31 pm • 0 0 • view
No he’s been a sleaze and a jerk though, and far too close to corporate money. It doesn’t disqualify him, but it’s understandable to still want more options come the primary fighting at his level.

You think I was objecting to your lack of support for his political ambitions? I was objecting to diminishing the support we could all be putting behind the few people actually taking the appropriate actions and saying what people need to hear. Just to not lose any shine as an ally? Let's grow up.

AOC initially did a huge step up & she’s going strong, but she may have too much going for her to be interested in a 2028 POTUS run. Pete Buttigieg is still out there flailing around for the shows. I catch his clips sometimes. I really like Crockett….all the women I admire, they value their lives.
