Charliekirk and billionaires aren’t normal, Gavin. Stick to trolling trump and then drop out of the primary.
And racist
Im honestly not sure how he is different from Mitt Romney. They might be the same person.
and Biden was a neocon. The scale shifts ever rightward.
He looks a little less clueless
Does he, though?
I think not.
things that really matter (0:18)
Like opposing genocide? I’d consider that something that really matters.
This greaseball wants to sell out trans people, not understanding that the reactionaries will just move on to the next target.
But you can’t expect a liberal centrist to understand solidarity. I want him to lose the gubernatorial primary so fucking much.
Presidential primary? He’s already governor but term limited. Fortunately, the more people see him and not his social media team, the greasier he’s revealed to be
When I saw him the first time I thought it was a scene from American Psycho
Ah, right. I guess we’ll have to flush him nationally now.
IMO, a California politician would face an uphill battle in the general anyway.
Republicans have spent so long demonizing California as a place full of communists and corruption that any politician associated with California is going to be viewed with intense suspicion by the (unfortunately all-important) flyover states.
Now, to be clear, fuck those ignorant assholes. But we do kind of need their votes, regardless. And it would be a mistake to run a candidate in the general election who has this disadvantage in swaying them.
The funny thing is newsom is so far removed from being any of those things Republicans paint California Dems as.
I suspect he understands fully how appeasement works and just doesn’t care
Yes, I think he likes it that way. The status quo is the goal. He’s not actually progressive at all, he just wears a progressive mask when he needs to, so it gets him votes.
He’s portrayed as satan to the people he’s trying to meet half way
This is a guy who does not understand the current media landscape and will Keir Starmer himself into being Donald Trump Lite. He is a political dead end that will inevitably reinforce fascism.
Ratchet effect enabling corporate puppet.
Remember when Bernie Sanders called out Newsom for being part of the big business class?
He’s a classic D.
“More culturally normal” = white
Don’t forget straight and cis
Jesus he’s really leaning into being blue maga
Yeah, that’s not the problem.
How did the other side get so many votes being extremely culturally abnormal? The claim makes no sense.
The hand move at 0:26 feels offensive
He is doing Genjutsu hand signs
HomelessTrans peopleHe’s really going all in on the “no matter what” part
I would vote for Newsome over Trump, Vance, or Rubio, but please not Newsome. He’s not progressive.
Dems stopped reading 5 words in. Why you all so eager to bend the knee and do whatever the party asks of you??
Eh, tbh I might just not vote. I also hate people saying this this early on, it can give him and the establishment the idea that people will just support whatever dogshit corpo Dem they shove at us. There has to be a line somewhere, and he’s damn near it.
We still have a whole ass primary season to go, and we have to make damn sure they know that people hate newsom.
How’d that go in Late 2024?
Have enough Venezuelans died yet?
Don’t pretend you care about a hundred dead Venezuelans when you supported the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
At least you got the genocidal shit you wanted either way.
Well, he’s close to saying they need to focus on universal material issues more than leaning into identity politics, which I agree with, but I don’t think that’s quite what he’s going for. Focusing on universal material issues does not mean throwing this or that marginalized group under the bus and he’s already run over some people.
The palestinians in 2024, trans people in 2028. And you’ll have people crying about harm reduction in 2030 blaming leftists for telling others not to vote for the double genocide party.
When centrists say “focus on kitchen table issues” they don’t actually mean focus on universal material issues. It’s just a cudgel to try to crack the left and make them think nothing should be done on anything. Most of his vetoes have been against straightforward material concerns, not mandating trans flags on paper straws.

This is the most damning part against giving him the benefit of the doubt.
He is doing the classic Liberal doublespeak.
He starts off by saying Democrats should not focus on identity politics. But then right after it he says that Democrats should adopt his version of identity politics to solve the issue instead of not letting it be the focus.
