The California governor acknowledged in an interview Sunday on CBS that he would give the question serious thought after the 2026 elections.

    Newsom would be absolutely horrible for our country

    It’s been less than a year since he started his podcast with Charlie Kirk and fawned over hi, then had Steve Bannon a few weeks later and treated him the same.

    Newsom isn’t on our side, he’s just saying what his team of PR people tell him to say. There’s a very good chance if he loses the primary he pulls a Cuomo/RFK Jr.

      Yeah…I used to like him but have started really hating him in the last decade. The only reason he looks good right now is because everyone else is just that bad.

        Everyone else the billionaire owned media wants you to see.

        There’s some good things happening all over, lots of people at the state level putting in work and gaining ground back.

        But if CNN talked about them, Newsom would look like an angry bully like when he joined up with Charlie Kirk to shit on anyone who’s lgbt

      Yeah voting isn’t going to fix the problems facing this country. They never have allowed a candidate who had the will or ability.

        That’s not true either.

        “They” who control the Dem primary is one person, the chair.

        When a Dem wins the general, they nominate a chair. When Dems lose, about ~400 people get to vote to pick.

        Billionaires control the party by controlling shitty chairs like Jaime Harrison that Biden placed in 2020. But sometimes the voting members get to have a day, and some of those times they don’t fuck it up.

        So yeah, sometimes the pro-people thing to say is “fuck the DNC”. But right now saying that is what the billionaires want you to say. They want to paint Newsom/Pritzker as young upstart fighters from outside the establishment. Because the establishment doesn’t control the party for at least 3 more years.

          I don’t think you understand what I’m saying at all. Which is exactly why your vote doesn’t matter.
