    I don’t think so. A white centrist man beat Trump in 2020. That’s all the qualification it takes apparently which is handy because that’s all Newsom has to offer but I can see him coming out on top.

      Biden won in 2020 on a “not Trump” platform. He then proceeded to do fuck-all for working people, and fuck-all to prevent another Trump term. Dems figured they could skate by with the same type of campaign again, and they were wrong.

      At some point you people are going to have to accept the fact that there were extenuating circumstances in 2020. And without those Trump would have been a consecutive two-term president.

      If the Democrats shove Newsom down our throats we’ll have another GOP president following Trump.

        Absolutely. It drives me fucking crazy every time I hear the Democrats lament that they lost because they couldn’t get their message through to the people. Fuckers, that’s absolutely ass-backwards. We’re trying to get our message through to you and time and time again, you pretend not to hear us. Is it any wonder at all?
