You can tell the Democrats want someone who will fight Trump as Trump has fought them. Much more effective than Schumer's strategy of keeping his head down. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Can't help but wonder what happened to Germans who made fun of early NAZI leaders after about 1934? And, can't believe I have to wonder about this in 2025 America.

Democrats want someone to fight Trump as effectively as Trump did. This is not it this is stupid simulacrum. Different publicum needs different art.

The Dem national "leadership" is so weak, and people are so hungry to see any fight at all from almost any Dem, that people are attracted even to Gavin Newsom, a centrist and crass political opportunist who has no real beliefs, but has worked out that "being seen to fight" is a good look.

Of course, this does just further degrade American democracy and polarize the country, but the dems' past ideas didn't work great either. Probably best to have someone doing this, who will NOT be running for the white house, but I'm not sure this level of strategy still exists. 😞

IDK He handles this pretty well, makes clear he hires people to do this. It is just one aspect of his campaign.

Irrelephant @onewheeldoin200.bsky.social

I presume Americans just want someone to actually understand the situation they're in and maybe, like..."fight for democracy" or something. Whatever Jeffries and Schumer are doing is an absolute joke. Need more Newsom, Pritzker, Crockett, and AOC.

Though there are several areas on which Newsom and I might disagree, if he is the candidate - and we might possibly (hope) have elections - he would have my support. No niche issue could compel me to withhold my support when faced with this authoritarian regime.

I respectfully disagree. Those of us from CA know Newsome is a shallow, narcissistic bully in a suit who bows to money. (Just like Trump) Many of us don’t trust him because we’ve seen his games before. I far prefer the courage, and decency of Govs Waltz and Pritzker.

👍That's an understatement!😂 Let's not forget Schumer's fiercest tactics: Reading from a piece of paper (with a monotone voice) "fight, fight, fight", and threatening to "write a strong letter" (both tactics performed with his head down, btw).

Sure, but Shumer is a legislative leader, and keeping a Senate caucus together is a full time job. He's gumming up appointments so badly that Republicans have floated changing the rules. Don't look to legislative leaders for national leadership.
