I think Gov Pritzker is a solid choice. He’s an actual billionaire and is not afraid of Trump. He is a really good governor. Illinois’s credit rating has been raised 9 times since he’s been governor. He has done good stuff for the people.

Most Dems say the same thing they just don’t get the coverage. Kudos to the Newsome team for social media execution. Newsome has been a fierce counter puncher and has used the platform Trump has provided to great advantage!

Gavin has the POWER OF THE PURSE behind him!! The CA economy is now 4th in the WORLD behind only US, China, and Germany! California with 4.1+trillion dollars, ahead of Japan, India, and the UK!!! Do you still wonder why TACO is focused on California?? Gavin needs to cut off funding TACO'S fantasies!

You are right but the Maga 'shithouses' will, without appropriate irony, destroy him personally. Kimberly grouper Guilfoyle will be compelled to say it all.

I loved him until he turned on the trans community and pandered to maga influencers. But I’ll take the ally for now. Just not in the primaries.

Someone who will turn on ONE marginalized group when it's politically expedient will turn on EVERY marginalized group when it's the same. He failed the test.

Add in vetoing key parts of the reparations package, clearing of encampments and cracking down on homelessness. We already see him for what he is. Right now he’s having hi Giuliani 9/11 moment.

No, it’s not a purity test. If he’s willing to pander to the right & throw a marginalized community to the wolves, who’s next? We have PLENTY of better choices. We have a primary to hash that out. The thinking you reference is a choice between him & the R & choosing neither. That’s not what I said.

As someone raised by conservative Christians and never voted till 2024 I have to temper my frustration and realize when I don’t understand the situation lol my mother repeatedly pressured me to vote Republican and I literally couldn’t drive myself so skipped the other 3 elections I was of age for

My family was very Republican too. My dad & my brother, rabidly so. NRA guns brain mentality. Thankfully, my dad hated chump & didn’t vote for him in the first occupation & he passed during it. My brother though, is still as rabid as they get. We don’t talk anymore. I went to college & fog lifted.

One thing I thought was cool when I was in school is the Dems actually sent ppl into the school Am History & civics classes to talk to us. Rs didn’t bother. That made a positive impression on me. I still remember it 40 years later.

Multi-tasking is important. It’s possible to be focused on the now, but keep an eye on the future. Triage is important. It’s perfectly okay & essential to pay attention everything going on, because it will matter later. If Ds had thought about the future even a little, they might have foreseen the 🔥

Unless he wins the primary & I have no choice bcz he’s the nominee, he will not get my vote no matter what he does now. Throwing the trans community under the bus is an unforgivable sin in my life. Obviously, not for others, but we all have our lines and he crossed mine.

The problem is this is the exact way we got Trump on the Republican side. We need to stop saying “but he’s the primary nominee so I have to” and protest our own party’s stupidity and corruption before we make it to the polls. Like I hope the Republicans will step up and do too (spineless bastards)

Studio Michaud @studio-michaud.bsky.social

But if you get all the way through the primaries and the PEOPLE chose that person, why we’re here is because of the thinking that not voting for that D because they don’t check all the boxes, protest 3rd part voting, or no voting at all is exactly how you get Trump.

Yeah true, that’s frustrating though cause it doesn’t take many people being blinded by their party lines and fear of what could happen to choose a horrible candidate just cause “they are a better choice to win”. God I need some wine to make it thru this year.

Protest as much as you want all the time. Never stop pushing elected officials to do what’s right, but don’t let the purity tests make the difference in the actual vote or you get a Trump.
