newsom is in it for newsom, the media is lining up behind him because there's more and more high profile examples of politicians standing for good things and succeeding and this threatens to shift the nature of US politics however slightly

We need to choose wisely while we still have the choice. We aren’t searching for the mythical perfect candidate, they don’t exist, we are literally asking for the bare fucking minimum.

its so funny because so many of these goons are like "name one other person who would be a better candidate" and we have a full bench. but rattling off any of those names elicits no further response

Solid point from JT. I'll add that Newsom's trolling combined with forceful negative partisan framing _is_ an effective formula for reaching out to the dudebro vote.

Strangely vacillating between endorsing him for president and saying nobody’s endorsing him for president. It’s odd.

And JT is on the money. I'll give a lot of credit to Newsom for demonstrating in real time the power of trolling. FOX and the rest of the cable hateosphere hate it almost as much as the fascist trumpites.

Hard to diminish what doesn't exist. And you SHOULD care about whoyou align yourself with or source your opinions from. Have some fucking standards. Which, coincidentally, is also the message for liberals and Democrats at large: have some fucking standards.

Compared to the lunatic fringe who lick Donnie Dingbat’s diseased bootheels, “liberals and Democrats at large” have a pretty spectacular record. Republikans wish they had something to brag about, besides being Life’s Biggest Dickheads, the Most Hateful People in History, and Losers Who Take Umbrage.

My dude, the “vote blue no matter who” crowd are *EXACTLY* as vapid as Red MAGA, which is why they are Blue MAGA. They will lick any boots, abandon any principles, and throw any marginalized group under the bus for anyone with a D by their name. “Pretty spectacular record” of losing to Republicans.

My chick, I’ve NEVER “vite(d) blue no matter who”. I wouldn’t have Dukakis on a bet, and Teddy was another spoiled-but-not-as-bad-as-RFKJ rich kid. Jimmy Carter was twice the President as Nixon/Ford, before him, or Ronnie the Spendthrift, after. You seem to be divorced from reality.

No, just divorced from a selfish and manipulative ex. Plenty in touch with reality. And of all female-coded words you could have chosen, going to “chick” is especially gross 🤢 You can safely shut up now, boomer. We all see you fellating Newsom and none of us are impressed.

Your posts still scream “Unresolved Personal Issues”. Getting a college degree hasn’t been all that hard since they watered down grading standards in the late ‘70s. Lotta people get one, without learning a damn thing, except whatever the degree is in. Were yours Basketweaving, and Medeival Poetry?

Nope, Computer Science, which is not a cakewalk degree, nor is it “useless” or similar aspersions. See, you’re dipping your toe into the old saying about assumptions…maybe you should stop now before you make yourself look even more ridiculous.

Computer Science isn’t the hardest, by a comfortable margin. If you got it in the last 30 yrs, you stood on the shoulders of giants, including a gay man persecuted by fools like you. You brag, but you support halfwits who are pushing us into chaos, so a tiny few greedy thugs can pick up the pieces!

No, just got two degrees. Once more? Third time’s a charm? Maybe you’ll dig up an insult that isn’t wildly off the mark. But that’s the risk you run making assumptions about people you don’t know anything about.
