What specifically this article refers to is quoted from "We The Unhoused" Podcast which says:

I’m thinking specifically about Gov. Gavin Newsom and his CARE Court.

Gavin Newsom's a pretty piss poor example of a Democrat but it's absolutely wild that in the literal previous paragraph it acknowledged Trump Admin cutting off funds for housing and wanting to disappear homeless into labor camps, and then continues to compare that to Newsom's CARE expanding housing funding by $291M.

"Housing the homeless and unwell is literally the same as Jim Crow because it's not good enough. Democrat stances are the same as Republican stances except Republic stances are also worse." like bro wtf are you talking about? Is truthout on meth?

Brah, just because you don't think Newsom is a Democrat, doesn't mean he's not. He himself claims he's a democrat and that's what his political affiliation is.

I never claimed he wasn't a Democrat, just that he's a piss poor example of one.

Thanks for the clarification. A lot of people are saying that he may run for president in 2028, so i think we'll be hearing a lot more about him.

My money is on Mark Kelly, for better or for worse, I don't think Newsom has any chance in the primary.

[-] UniversalMonk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I like Mark Kelly too

I didn't say I liked Mark Kelly, just that he's a likely primary winner. He's got a lot of great stances, though, and has shown disdain for Trump's war on Iran.

Well, I do like Mark Kelly.

Socialist Workers Party Alliance

An independent socialist and workers’ rights community.

This community represents my own vision of what a Socialist Workers Party should be. It stands in firm opposition to both the Democratic and Republican parties, which serve the capitalist system while offering the working class little more than temporary concessions.

Real liberation will require workers to organize, challenge exploitation, and build a system based on dignity, equality, and democratic control.

I agree with some positions expressed by the U.S. Socialist Workers Party, especially on workers’ rights, unions, labor struggles, and class politics. I also value some of The Militant’s labor coverage. That does not mean I support every position held by the party or publication, including their views on Israel, Palestine, or other political issues.

This is an independent Lemmy community, not an official branch, affiliate, or representative of the U.S. Socialist Workers Party.
