Newsom did the math. He is the only high ranking neoliberal Democrat, who activly fights Trump. It is very obvious that fighting Trump is incredibly popular and also that all of the further left candidates are not going to get funding from billionaires. That puts Newsom into a very strong position to become the next US president, if there is a free and fair election.

    That's why I want them to run, and not Newsom. If he wins, backed by billionare money, he's just going to keep perpetuating the same system, the same way that Biden and Obama did.

    I fucking hope he does't run for president. He's just a younger Joe Biden. He's not a neoliberal at ALL.

    If anything, he's just representing the CA vibe here. Points for that, but no more than this.

    Repressing. He's merely doing the minimum California demands of him.

    Seriously, he's still fucking hated for blatantly throwing trans people under the bus, handing out with alt-right grifters, and finally acting like the rich scumbag everyone knew he was but no one quite had proof yet.

    AOC comes to mind. John Stewart, if he ever decided to run.

    We need to stop picking people we think will win, and start picking actual leaders that are right for this country.

    Otherwise we're just going to get Joe 2.0 pushing the same bullshit agenda that's crippled this country in the face of the aggressive fascists that now hold it.
