I would back a progressive candidate as hard as you can in the primary if possible.

Newsom has a similar vibe problem as Harris where people outside of California don’t really know them or like them much.

Personally I say fuck anyone from CA or NY (except AOC) we need a candidate from somewhere else more down to earth.

    If the options in November 2028 come down to Newsom vs Trump (or whoever is his puppet), I'm still voting for Newsom. I won't be happy about it, but if we can't get a real progressive through the primaries, I'm still voting against the GOP and for the non-GOP candidate with the best chance of winning.

    If the dems think a conservative candidate win, they will ratfuck progressives again, which is how we got Trump both times.

    We need to make it absolutely clear that under no circumstances can the DNC let a conservative win the primary because they will lose the general. We did "yes, we know he sucks, but this is the most important election ever" with Biden, and he showed an entire generation that the dems are not an effective means to enacting positive social change, giving us back Trump.
