Oh, he'll be moderate, you think? Good luck with that. You think they pulled him out of a time machine from the 70s? They didn't. He's a product of the current political situation, he's PART of the current political situation, he's in the same orbits as all these people and he's got the same people orbiting around him. If you think he's going to move things back to the center I don't think you understand how broken things really are. They've been broken for a long time, and they're not broken in a repairable way. He's not your champion, he's not going to save you. You think voting for him represents "trying" to fix the problems but you're just being led astray by organizations and powers that don't give a fuck about any of us and are not motivated by anything we care about.

Okay, well you can vote for Vance then.

I understand what he is.

But compared to the shit show we have now... unless we get a progressive in there, what other choice do we have? Not voting? Going third party so that Repugs win again?

Stop fucking acting like newsom has already won the primary for starters. Also maybe don't make people that have been targeted by newsom feel like they will still be under the boot if you dont want the dems to loose again.

So no actual response? People like you are the reason dems keep losing.
