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.
No. Fuck no. Hell the fuck no. He can keep doing his attack dog shit, that’s fine he IS NOT presidential material. He is not what this conversation ntry needs to fix the shit Republicans have deliberately broken.
That is exactly the kind of person we need to win elections though.
No, we need someone who can actually get shit done. Not someone who is only good at performative shows.
#1 prereq to get shit done is to get elected.
Well that sure would be easier if Democrats kept their fingers off the scale when popular candidates show up.
Last I heard everybody gets one vote.
Last I heard “…the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts…”
You heard wrong. Most of the country doesn’t even get an active primary to vote in. The first couple states, which never change, usually determine everything.
Sure. But not as the candidate.
So let’s say it does come down to Newsom v Vance. You really going to sit it out?
Oh I’ll certainly vote, just not for a Capitalist. Just like I’ve done for every elected position since 2012.
So you’ll make sure your vote doesn’t count. Nice strat! Really gonna achieve change there big guy. Lol.
My City Councilman is a Socialist, so…
We aren’t talking about city council…we are talking about the presidential election which has now turned America into an outright fascist police state.
Better vote for a socialist next time instead of Fascism-lite, after-all it is the least you can do.
No. I will vote for a candidate that has a chance. If the presidential candidate is a socialist and has a chance, absolutely. Otherwise, I’ll be voting for whatever isn’t Trump or MAGA.
Lots of candidates have a chance in a democracy, you just have to vote for them. Of course this is the whole point of a democracy right? Do you have special knowledge about which candidates “have a chance?”
Yes. Will leave it blank until Dems put forward a candidate with proven policy
Rofl that’s so pathetic.
Yea, voting for candidates who support the same policies you do is pathetic… haha
I know blue maga has been gas lighting you your whole life…. But damn.
Refusing to vote instead of voting for the clearly better option is absolutely pathetic. Yes. Making posts cussing at people and accusing them of helping Trump get power and in other posts making statements that they themselves won’t vote in the presidential election if it’s not their perfect candidate.
Pathetic.
he’s not even the one doing it. Camille Zapata is. We should support her running for president.
