I’m appreciating Newsom as a foil to Trump, and want him to continue that, but I really wouldn’t want him to be the Democratic nominee. I’d much rather have a Mamdani-esque nominee
You’ve got to remember that you and I are not the average Democratic primary voter. Clearly there are plenty of Democrats who think this is a good idea.
You should read the article. In the pole referenced Newsom is in 6th place. He got a higher than expected percentage of the poling which the author has blown up here with their deceptive clickbaity headline. Possibly in an effort to make people think that Newsom is the favorite.
Not that I’d be really happy to vote for the actual favorite in the pole which is Kamala Harris. Though I would absolutely vote for her over Newsom any day of the week.
I wish I could man but we’re in a Steelers Wheel situation where there are .ml clowns to the left of us and Nazis to the right and here we are stuck in the middle of neoliberals.
He’s just another slimy corporatist owned by the ultra wealthy, but throws a bone to the social issues of Democrats. Pretty much the same strategy that modern Democrats have had for the past 40+ years. I will absolutely vote for him in the general or support him in pushing against Trump/Repulicans, but he’s one of my least favorite Democrats now.
No. He should do what he can to push out and fight against this current regime, but nobody likes him or wants him as a president. Nobody.
That’s a pretty good point

If it’s Newsom or a MAGA I’ll take Newsom

…yeah I know just let me have something

Why not? I don’t know much about him except that he isn’t 300 years old like the rest of the Democrats.
He seems to be doing a good job in California?
His willingness to throw trans kids under the bus is one of my problems with him.
Trans kids, homeless people, immigrants. All safely tucked under the bus. But hey, he’s favored by the rich white Democrats of California.
Don’t forget workers after the whole gig workers bill
