Obama’s comments appear in a new video supporting Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50 which would allow the California legislature to draw new congressional boundaries ahead of the midterms
Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of November’s special election in California, accusing Republicans of attempting to “rig the next election” in a new ad backing Governor Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50, a ballot measure that could reshape the state’s congressional map.
“Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years,” Obama says in the 30-second ad, urging voters to approve the proposal. “You can stop Republicans in their tracks.”
for the love of God, don’t stick is with newsome
AOC is my top choice, but I know everybody has a million reasons why America wouldn’t elect her as president.
But, I had this thought the other day, and I know this is nobody’s dream team, but possibly the odd couple situation that just might work. Am I crazy for thinking a Pritzker-AOC ticket might actually have a decent chance?
The Pritzkers are literally the billionaire family of the Hyatt hotel chain fortune. They are, if anything, one part of the problem with the democratic establishment. If you want there to be zero change in society when it comes to taxing the wealthy to create social safety nets, JB is your guy.
Realistically there is zero chance that an actual progressive and a Pritzker could ever function on one ticket. Thats like Bernie running with Bezos, it makes no sense
I think USAmericans gotta hit the streets, now, yelling “We won’t vote for Gruesome Newsom” just in case we do get a 2028 Election. If we don’t destroy his campaign now, he’ll be ushered to the front of the Democratic Primary like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
Grow up. You will have the chance to vote for him or one of the other Dems that run in 2028 when you have your primaries. You and your ilk are the reason why Trump got power and regained it. You are as bad for democracy as the rabid, right wing Nazis.
Cool. Let’s have another Biden-esque presidency that just leaves Americans unsatisfied to the point where they come out en-masse and vote for Vance because “it was better under the prior administration” until they realize that, whoops! they aren’t actually better under Vance, but now it’s too late.
Voting Biden in 2020 as a transitional candidate obviously wasn’t the right move. Establishment Dems are the reason the non-political Americans get rallied against “the Left”. All that figures like Biden and Newsom do is empower “both sides” political apathy.
Biden beat Trump soundly in 2020. You can blame the Dem PTB and Biden all you want but Biden 2020 clearly wasn’t Biden 2024. Americans were unsatisfied with someone who was obviously in the throws of late onset Dementia. No one can predict what is going to happen cognitively with old people and it can happen rather quickly. The same exact fate might befall Trump before 2028 when he thinks he is going to run again before you give the nod to JD.
2020 to 2024 was also a period when the GOP smear machine was eviscerating everything Biden did with the complicit help of the Conservative MSM from Trump’s Afghanistan withdraw that he, himself drew up to Hunter’s laptop and dick. They were wildly successful painting the Dems, not just Biden, as weak, intellectual cucks. Gavin is not that. He is the anti that. He comes off as a man’s man. Something that is required to win in this day and age. As you should be able to tell by now, policy means jack shit to the American voter any longer. Stance on issues means less. The want a talking head that looks good in front of the camera and talks America first talk. The young male voters want “Alpha Males” that show uo to UFC fights and then hosts them on the WH lawn. The game has changed forever. Time to start playing it right.
Craziness would be to run a woman again. Gavin’s Trump-esque Tweets have gotten more people excited about the rub in in their face retribution the base is yearning for right now. These traitors need to be punished, first in the court of public opinion ,then at the ballot box, and ultimately in the courts. Those 4 years of the Dems doing nothing to counter the momentum Trump continued to gain every day might go down as the turning point in our Democracy . We will find that in in a few, short months.
Sounds like aborting the fetus of opposition before it reaches viability.
The left has NEVER been in control of the Democratic Party.
Correct option is getting DSA candidates more light and having DSA candidates running as Dems.
You guys demand democrats stand up to trump and the moment one does, you sit on them and kick them down. You guys deserve every bit of trump
100% and there is no way all of these downvotes are organic. There is a pretty obvious right wing brigading going on. Many people pretending to be democrats. Even more pretending to be Americans. This is why many left Reddit.
Making memes online is not standing up to a fascist, thats a delusional take. Pritzker vowing to arrest people who help ICE agents is standing up to a fascist. And neither of those things alone make’s a good candidate.
You people deserve trump
