Fuck newsome. He showed his true colors when wining and dining fascists on his podcast. He's not the warrior we need.

If you want to beat the other side you need to understand how the other side became what it is.

Not by giving them a platform to spew their fascist rhetoric. It's perfectly clear and well documented how the GOP became who they are. Giving them a microphone to let them spin their hatred in the name of "understanding" and "cooperation" is, in my opinion, straight-up complicity.

It needs to be front and center for the American population. We’re in echo chambers just as much as the GOP is.

Let's look at his Steve Bannon "interview". He didn't push back on Bannon's repeated false claims about trump winning in 2020 & made very few interjections during the interview. He meekly gave Bannon the platform to spread his lies without fact-checking or resistance. He gave the fascist the mic.

How many left voices has he facilitated in this supposed shift from being an echo chamber?

He doesn’t need to platform them. He’s not trying to speak to us, he’s trying to speak to them. That’s the issue with the Democratic Party. They are too much of a purist. They do not let anyone in who has even the slightest difference in opinion. Dems need to be big tent if they want to win.

The 'us' Newsom is a part of is NOT the left. And he platforms them so others can hear them, not so they can be heard by him lol. Democrats aren't purists at all. They embrace the far right. They use them, fund them, to take out anyone remotely progressive or left.

No he’s not the one - for CA yes for now. But not for US. This won’t overcome

Huh yourself. Did you not read what you replied to? Does that make him a warrior?

Yes actually standing up to the 🍊 Buffoon instead of rolling over does make him a warrior.
