Of course it's a marketing strategy. Everything is a marketing strategy. Trump has been running roughshod over you all with marketing strategies. Whats your solution Julio? One thing I do know is I can trust Newsom alot more than I can trust Trump. You?

My solution is Zohran Mamdani policies across America. Policies that maximize the wellbeing of the majority of citizens. Newsom will be just as bad as Trump - sell the country to big tech.

Fair enough. Zohran is a good guy, but at this moment is quite powerless in front of the Trump Juggernaut. Newsom has the reach to really challenge the monstrosity. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Dreams are great. Reality is different

I do believe progressive policies will make a more effective way to vote Trump out than whatever Newsom can do. Look at Bernie in 2016. He had all the then-MAGA supporters on his side. Bernie showed it is possible. The problem was the DNC - twice.

Im all for progressive policies. Zohran and Sanders are fantastic. His fight the oligarchy speeches rock. But I'm not wanting to pick a champion. Anyone who wants to take the fight to Trump and his bootlicking supporters is supported by me.

Problem is we still have the DNC. You are absolutely correct about Newsom but FFS someone has to start playing the same game as MAGA or we’re never getting anywhere

Gerrymandering blue states to counteract Texas would be a start, but I don’t think Dems have the will to do so.

Ok prolly not but don’t be a quitter, we have enough of those. Fact is our population is dumb and lazy & it’s only going to get worse now that we have A.I. & Linda McMahon ruining the DOE D’s need to lead us like the dumb, lazy people we are; that’s what worked for MAGA. Newsom is getting it

It is not a matter of being a quitter. Even Bernie and AOC are a huge letdown in stepping up against the genocide Israel is committing. However, they have shown that grassroots movements are a powerful thing and can lead to significant victories. Newsom is part of the establishment and he serves it.

The first part is bullshit, but yes Newsom is a POS. Bernie & AOC rally people back to the Democratic Party, if they were interested in actual change they would start a new party like Zarah Sultana & Jeremy Corbyn in the UK.

point is someone has to do something *different* and so far I’ve seen jackshit. You’re not wrong but you’re also not offering any hope. We’re not getting a valid third party, EVER, obviously. The best we can hope for is a dem who uses establishment power for good not evil. I know it’s weak but 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have hope that with a progressive grassroots movement, the Electoral College can be dismantled. But we need action at the moment, and in my view, the perfect action is to show the DNC that we want more politicians like Zohran. Vote the established Dems out.

More like Zoltan and vote the established Dems out 🙌🏻 I’m all for it. Sorry for being a sourpuss; I shouldn’t call anyone a quitter. 😞 today was a struggle but tomorrow is another day! ✌🏻
