The next 24-48hrs is going to be an entertaining meltdown.

I hope what we take most from this is that 2026, 2028 is NOT “too early” or “too high stakes” for an ACTUAL progressive campaign. The DNC has used that argument 3x with Trump and lost said elections twice (only winning 2020 because Trump bombed w/ Covid-19). I’m certain we’ll hear it again in the next two national elections.

Having a competent populist leftist politician is not a detraction. Quite the opposite. NO to Gruesome Newsom

Shit, we’d be lucky if they went with someone as marginally craptastic as Newsom. We can’t put any candidate in if they have any chance of getting any of our agenda in; they have to be 100% right-friendly or they won’t even try.
