If Newsom wins he picks the DNC chair and he'll pick someone solidly in the oligarchs pocket.
Don't forget he started 2025 off by having Kirk and Bannon on his podcast and sucking them off about how smart they are and how they're right on "social issues" like if LGBTQ people should be allowed to exist in society...
It's fucking dissapointing that people keep eating out of his hand for social media posts an intern is posting.
It's satisfying to see someone give Trump a taste of his own medicine.
I know Newsome isn't on my side but I can still enjoy watching him give Trump a black eye.
It would be so satisfying to see...
Gavin (successfully) tear down Trump...
Hype himself up for a presidential run...
And get primaried by someone who actually gives a shit about the working class.
Stop it I'm in public and its embarrassing to get this aroussd looking at my phone.
I would only support Gavin Newsom's candidacy if he became homeless for a few years and demonstrated personal growth and a capacity for empathy from the experience.
spoiler
I'm exaggerating, but it'd take a lot for me to become convinced he is a suitable candidate in our dire situation.
Best he can do is Starting from Zero and becoming a millionaire in a year to show you anyone can do it (as long as they have a clean bill of health and a college education and connections from their time in office and...)
"See!? It's easy, the American Dream™ is alive and well!"
I’d settle for him not being a major shareholder for the power utility that he’s supposed to be protecting his citizens from. In completely unrelated news, we pay the highest energy prices on planet earth. What a coincidence.
Gavin Newsom is not the answer to Donald Trump. He's a lackey to big corporations.
AOC on the other hand
These 20s sure do be roaring
Looks like the 1930s in the US ...
Can we not be promoting this guy?
This is a distraction from better candidates.
Canwe please promote a better candidate?
Well, we could promote AOC.
Except centrists are saying women can't win. Because they're willing to hold back all women to prevent AOC in particular from running.
No, people keep saying shitheads like Kamala can't win because her platform was the fucking same as 2004 George W Bush.
People keep saying that because it's true. Centrists who don't want AOC to be able to run have pretended to take a different lesson. Once which conveniently means that AOC wouldn't be able to run.
Please stop doing the DNC's work for them by amplifying Gavin Newsom. We need real change in this country, not a return to the status quo.
Thank the gods someone realizes this.
Newsom is a solid status quo maintainer with 2 or 3 senior edgelord staff.
Goddamn costume ball while the Titanic sinks.
Absolutely insane that America has been taught to demand all the worst parts of certain communist ideology without any possible benefit under the guise of protectionism just so a bunch of white me can don't have to confront the fact they have no personality or empathy and money doesn't fill that hole
demand all the worst parts of certain communist ideology
Public health care, education, and modern mass transit?
just so a bunch of white me can don’t have to confront the fact they have no personality or empathy and money doesn’t fill that hole
Goes a bit deeper. This isn't simply ego driven, it's a historically manifest class conflict dating back centuries.
It isn't limited to "White men", either. You'll find the class conflict echoing from El Salvador to the Philippines to Indian to Israel.
What the hell is a Great Gatsby party? A 1920s themed party?
No blacks.
And a green strobe light
I recommend you read the book, old sport. I think you'll find it... Enlightening.
Kinda weird to host a themed party to not dress up? Like... generate an asthetic to behold for yourself, but then not actually participate... kinda spoils the effect for others. But not you, I guess.
The system won't be the tiniest bit less corrupt with newsom at the wheel.
I'm not a Newsom fan but this is just an absurd thing to say. It would be a feat for anyone to be as corrupt as Trump. If you wrote a book with a villain as openly corrupt as Trump, it would be panned as unrealistic.
Really?
Really? Not the tiniest bit?
Well, you’re wrong. But let’s start fighting now because whatever he is, he’s getting traction and The Savior of The Left is once again nowhere to be found. We’ll have three full years of “He sucks” b/w “Oh you want more fascism then?” And then we’ll get more fascism because the left is utterly incapable of uniting.
If AOC jumps in, though, dissent will not be brooked. Because you fuckers are so goddamned insufferable she’ll be “supporting genocide” and “transphobic” before the ink is dry on her campaign document. And that will not stand, man.
Are men supposed to be wearing caps indoors, or seated at the table? I thought you were supposed to take your hat off.
Not when you're rich enough that no-one can talk back and you have a bald spot you're shamed of.
How is this a meme?
It's as much a meme as 99% of the other "Text with a political message" posts there are on here.
I’m surprised this man has time to tweet given all the time he dedicates to personally destroying the possessions of the most vulnerable people in his state.
The rhetoric in here...
People, third parties will kill your chances. That is a fact. This is true in all first past the post/winner takes all systems, but especially the US one where the parties can just sandbag each other and do nothing, meaning the conservatives win.
Secondly, you may like to make some guillotine memes, but lets be real. You're not that guy. You aren't planning some secret spec ops assassination of the crew behind trump. You didn't do it for any of the lead up, and you won't do it now.
Thirdly, if your progressive sweetheart (and believe me, I'd prefer them too), got into the white house, you very same people would quickly get angry at them and say they aren't doing enough because you completely fail to understand your own system and this very next point.
If you actually want to see a turn around, it will be long, boring, slow and unfun. You will not get big results in 1, 2, or even 3 terms. It doesn't work that way.
You not only have to keep democrats winning, but also have to slowly flip enough seats to progressive politicians within said party that they significantly change the parties voting patterns and leadership. Its not just that either, you have to get enough of the population to vote for people, a lot of whom you will hate, that they get a super majority in the senate, at the same time as they have a simple majority in the house, and at the same time as they have a president. Only when all 3 of those things happen simultaneously could you possibly even hope to have the types of changes we all want to see implemented implemented.
There is no other way within this system. Its built to be slow and has more inertia than you can imagine. You're not about to uproot that system, so you have to understand it, even if you don't like it.
