    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.

        You say that as if he isn’t also using Trump’s tactics on us too.

        The populist appeal is a poison you take to hurt your enemies.

        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.

          And get primaried by someone who actually gives a shit about the working class.

          He 100% will, and if say it’s a safe bet he pulls a Cuomo and goes independent.

          He already tried to pivot to maga once, “attacking” trump is the back.plan, but he’ll gladly work with trump after losing the Dem primary like RFK did and Cuomo is now.

        But it’s not even him…

        It’s an intern, maybe someone Cali’s tax dollars are actually paying…

        To shit post on a social media platform owned by Elon Musk, generating him profit while sucking up oxygen in people’s limited amount of fucks to give while their personal lives are in shambles.

        He isn’t “fighting” trump, they’re working in concert at the behalf of the same oligarchs to ensure that no matter what letter wins, the wealthy never lose.

        They’re doing it this early, because the current DNC chair isn’t just a supporter of Mamdani, but he’s been backing Omar Fateh for over a year, starting back when he was state chair over there.

        We can get into the details of you want, but it’s vitally important we don’t let the oligarchs name both party’s candidates. And this is literally the best chance we’ve had in about 50 years of Dem voters solidifying control of the DNC again.

        Like, this has been a fight since before Carter was prez. If we settle for a neoliberal they get the party and they will immediately lock it down even tighter. The “victory fund” was incredibly close to just throwing the party out and letting the money call all the shots. A chair gets 4 years, we’ll lose all momentum like in Obama’s first term when he refused to nominate a chair.

          Hey I’m all for a Socialist takeover of the Democratic party and I know we won’t have defeated fascism until we end The Duopoly. I’m just saying Trump has thin skin and I’m sure Gavin’s intern"s trolling is getting under it. Don’t worry - I know Newsom is a lizard person and would happily maintain the new status quo Trump is creating if given a chance.

        Is he? Or is he just making you feel good by talking shit about Trump? It’s certainly doing nothing to change the position of power Trump is in right now.

        Trump’s sitting pretty in his ballroom licking his own balls and worrying about what the next wannabe dictator is going to do to gain his favor. Not quaking in fear because some political rival is making commentary he doesn’t even care about.

      I thought I heard a rumor Newsom is gay? Not that that precludes him being homophobic, of course
