The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.

      The DNC turns over almost 100% of membership every 4 years so anything it “learns”, good or bad, will be forgotten. Because it isn’t a person. Tulsi Gabbard used to be a DNC leader. Now she’s a Trump henchperson MAKING AMERICA NOT GREAT AGAIN

      FUCKING BRING IN ANOTHER CANDIDATE THEN.

      Jesus fuck… Y’all just constantly whine about your options, and when the time comes for the primary, you’ve got NOTHING.

      Edit: yeah this makes me a “DNC fanboy”. What a fucking joke. I am going to start tagging everyone here who’s refusing to do fucking anything but whine about the primary candidates so I know to ignore them in the future.

        We tried, twice. Got shut out, twice. Third time they didn’t even allow a primary and then appointed a new person.

        But next time Lucy will let us kick the football, she swears this time she’ll play fair.

            We are doing something about it. And every time we do, a bunch of Democrats tell us how evil we are, before they run off to bomb kids, and back genocides.

              Progressives need to vote!

              “Okay, I will vote for the people who are better on important issues.”

              Stupid single issue voters, we don’t need you! We’ll win while supporting transphobia, racism, and illegal wars!

                I’m glad I was able to provide a jumping-off point for you and your buddies to LARP leftism, but I meant do something real.

              Oh nice… So I’ll have a legitimate progressive candidate to vote for in the upcoming primary then, right? Right?

        The only one whining is DNC fanboys when we tell them their establishment ghoul is going to lose them the election once again.

          Yeah that’s what I am, a DNC fanboy. 🙄

          Come back when you’re actually interested in good faith discussion.

          LMFAO nobody here is a “DNC fanboy”. Even if I didn’t like Bernie Sanders, why would I be a “fan” of a caretaker organization that has very little actual power to do anything? I’m a fan of voting for the best available candidate whether primary or general elections.

      Voters will die before they learn the lesson. Beating fascism is more important than getting a candidate who agrees with everything you want.

        Actually, we’re going to die regardless because none of the politicians supported by either party care enough to solve the issues in this country that are slowly killing us. But yes, fascism will certainly expedite the process.
