    Liberals listen the fuck up. You cannot nominate this man. You will lose. If you choose to do this you are choosing to lose. You can't blame the voters you're choosing to lose.

    This. Democrats with Newsom might win the election, but four years of Biden brought us Trump 2.0. Four years of Newsom will bring forth anti-Democrat sentiment so strong that it will sweep every demographic Dems have ever been branded as "pandering to".

    Gavin Newsom is the kind of politician who spurs the political apathy and resentment that Trump and the Republican Party feed on. Gavin Newsom is the type of Democrat that brought us to the hell of 2025 and beyond.

    Presume there will be a Democrat primary. Register for it. Participate in it. No votes for Gruesome Newsom.

    At least the Nazi's say they hate you. This slimy fuck will do whatever his consultants say. The only good thing he's ever done was let his social media team be slightly angry with fascists... That shouldn't be the bar, it should be the floor.

    What? The man that sucked Charlie Kirk's dick (in person, mind you) in his first podcast episode? Shocked, shocked I say!

    A rich politician toeing the line?

    I'm only shocked because this shit is still considered news. Democrats aren't "leaning" center or right. They are so far from progressive they don't even know what it looks like anymore.

    Edit: i really hate auto correct

    Denying an obvious genocide is support for that genocide.

    So it's no surprise to see who's demanding fealty in this thread.

    It's insane that his team had complete control over this footage and still thought it was a good idea to air. I'm thankful that they didn't have the better judgment to prevent this episode from seeing the light of day. Maybe the pod should have some actual leftists on so Newsom can stumble and equivocate his way into a good take for once.

    I already wasn't gonna vote for him cause of his stance on homelessness. Don't care if he gets the nomination. Never believed in the "blue no matter who" BS that just props up awful people on the vague notion of "lesser evilism".

    Vote your conscience in the primary, harm reduction in the general

    A centrist cant win, especially in these times. Running a centrist is suicide. You all saw the dem voter base dissolving in the last election. Is that what you want again?

    I won't vote for a centrist in the primary but I also won't abstain or vote third party in the general.

    You're 100% right. Ignore the bots who want to sabotage Democrats. Yes Newsom isn't perfect but he's 100 times better than Trump. A Democrat like AOC would be maybe 500 times better than Trump. But no matter what after the primary is over I will do everything in my power to advocate for the Democrat presidential candidate and all Democrats on the ballot.

    It's crazy to see how many people seem to still not grasp this.

    Instead, they completely lie and say we actually want people like Newsom and aren't just willing to vote for him in the general to stop the literal fascism that has infected the country. After everything that's happening, and they still cannot grasp this. How fucking stupid can you be?

    They will sit out again, and then whine and whine while we lose what's left of our Republic.

    WTF Gavin. Yeah, no "technically" it may not be an actual genocide, as Gazans still exist, but my dude, Israel is certainly doing a bang up job of acting like they really want to go all the way and do it.

    Fucking hell, this splitting of political hairs and pandering to the morally bankrupt people in AIPAC is disgusting..

    Genocide does not require the complete elimination of the targeted people. It also doesn't even involve killing.

    A UN Commission has already found that they have and the International Court of Justice has found that the accusation is plausible (the case is still ongoing). Only 10 countries have actively rejected the claim. Newsome isn't technically correct, he's just doing pro-Israel spin.

    Gavin Newsom says Israel did not commit genocide in Gaza

    Now hold on, maybe he's ramping up to say Israel is currently committing a genocide in Gaza. And no, I'm not going to watch the video to check.
