So we're sticking with the "trying to win over conservatives" angle instead of moving even a millimeter to the left? 2028 election might as well be cancelled as trump is promising, because this asshole is not the solution and only stands to forestall the inevitable plunge we're taking as a nation.

What the actual f
Newsom is not a good dude. It’s just that the bar is so fucking low in US politics these days, there are a lot of people who look at him and think he’s not half bad. But make no mistake - he’s a neoliberal corporatist, and is lately trying to ham-fistedly lean into populism. Huge “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.
It’s impossible to know what (if any) principles Newsom holds. Everything he does seems so politically calculated.
He does pass a lot of liberal policies, but he always sprinkles in some conservative bullshit, like he wants to pad his conservative resumé with seemingly random, toothless declarations like this one.
This is who American Liberals think should be in the running for the next D president.
Might as well drop the mask entirely and proclaim a national Hitler day.
The fuck we do! Anyone paying attention can see he's just Biden, but happy to troll the GOP. I expect him to get the 2028 nomination and that pisses me off.
Shit, what's next? Making 4/20 Adolf Hitler Day?
Haha, fuckin hilarious. I'm gonna proclaim February 6th as Margaret Thatcher Day too.
That'll give us a year to really prepare for next year's Margaret Thatcher Day.
What should be some of the hall marks of Margaret Thatcher Day? What should go on the bunting and balloons? What sort of foods should we encourage people to make for the street parties?
Um Ackshually, they proclaimed Feb 6 as Ronald Reagan day because that was his birthday, and he used to be Governor of California, so there's at least a connection there. Thatcher's day would probably be October 13th.
The 8th of April is Thatcher day. Holidays should give happy feelings.
So sad the Toilet Day didn’t overlap whit this one
Ur such a dhork <3
I will make a lovely Molotov cocktail for any Thatcher Thatcher Milk Snatcher fan...
Can't wait for him to rightfully not become president and then listen to bots+morons on Lemmy think they're being smug and epic posting about "now we have fascism but at least we don't have another Reagan day RiGhT?!? 😘😉😏😏"
Congratulations shitlibs, once again you have proven that you have no spine. If and when this man gets into office I can guarantee this country won't improve, hell it wont even stop getting worse, he's gonna act exactly like Trump did during his first term.
When the day comes all reactionaries, capitalists, and collaborators will face justice
He’s also acknowledging that the dude had dementia. I’m neutral on this one.
Sliiide to the right. Sliiide to the right. Criss cross!
Is it dystopian that I was waiting for a shoe to drop?
Bruh.
Hasan just iced his campaign. Good lucky Greasy Newsom.
Hasan doesn't have the pull that we might wish he did.
In that same argument Hasan mentioned that if he did, the Dems would be coming to him for support.
Lefties are just the punching bag Dems use when they can't get elected.
I think you would be surprised by their reach. Watch him walk down the street and it's not 18-20 yos recognize him. It's Aunties and uncles. Real voters.
People are moved by honesty and consistent perspectives.

From Hasan fucking Piker lmao
What does that mean? Is he a shithead?
Two-faced accelerationist is what I'd call him. Unironically said electing Kamala would have been worse right now
One way or another the bleeding has to end. Either a real human gets put in charge or a straight up fascist demon gets put in charge, this slow death that the Democrats are looking for is only going to hurt everyone more in the long run. At least with the demons the rest of the world might get their shit together and recognize America as the problem it is instead of going back to the way it was.
If our choice is newsom or another part of the Trump dynasty, vote third party.
