To forbid Newsom the 2028 nomination (should we make it there in one piece) - Find a good alternative and TALK about that person, starting now - DO NOT TALK about Gavin Newsom all the livelong day

See, you failed your own advice. You should have simply posted something positive about Pritzker and not mentioned Newsom at all.

Or even a couple of good alternatives.

While Gavin Newsom is the one sticking his neck out to counter t-Rump's constant stream of propaganda....I will push his posts and back him. I'm not saying I'll vote for him....we are 3 years out and no one knows the field.....

There are plenty of people celebrating his needling of Mr. Cankles while acknowledging that he can't be the 2028 nominee. We're not MAGAts, we have higher order thinking.

Newsom just stuck his foot in it vis a vis homelessness again. Talk about THAT.

So I'm guessing a 3 year long, vehement Primary Conflict starting now is not recommended? :-)

AOC is the only option for real change and she will win general election by bringing in non voters disillusioned with the Democratic Party

Please, not Newsom. He is simply the left side of the same coin. Money in politics. I own a small (tiny) business in Cali and Newsom has been bleeding us dry. Though I don't know why he worries me, The chances of a fair election ever again are zero.

So, does everybody who fights against this regime get smeared in shit now? "Just ignore him, his tactics are working!"? The panic setting in is weird, what with Pritzken and Walz right there ..

Big difference between praising someone's effective tactics against the Republicans now, and suddenly elevating them to the presidential nomination in 2028 We are in a time of giant chaos, if we even make it to a real election in 2028 allll of this will be long forgotten, hard as that is to believe

We just don't want a president that is a dick to homeless and trans people. Like obviously if it winds up being Newsom vs. Vance in 2028 we'll vote Newsom but can't we at least try to do better in the meantime?

True for reals but this: even talking about it now is just getting everyone all upset for no reason, yet, taking up attention when there's so much that needs doing now, right now

That's my point, there's a long time before midterms. And there's primaries. The idea that one person is the only one that can run is self defeating, and no matter who it is the GQP will smear and lie and trash them with their media.
