Gavin Newsom’s Biggest Problem Is Gavin Newsom - Divisions by zero

>Unsurprisingly, there has been little indication the American progressive left perceives Newsom as deserving anything but disdain. Recent weeks have only bolstered the sense that committing to the abolition of ICE is a prerequisite for any remotely moral candidate in 2028. If Newsom fails to become that candidate, it will not be because he appeared too left-wing, but because he lacked the guts or the inclination to be anything except what he manifestly is: a preening political operator, beholden to a status quo that no longer exists.

He doesn’t have a chance, because it’s going to be a fair primary all the way thru.

They might be able to buy the first couple states especially if they start early, but they can’t keep up the whole cycle which is why prior DNCs always tried to call it like 2 weeks after the first states vote.

2028 will run until ever state votes, and the DNC isn’t going to favor anyone.

So the only chance Newsom has, is depressing turnout for the primary.

Which is why so many people keep acting like the DNC hasn’t changed, they’ve already fell for the propaganda and are spreading it.

why do you think the primarys will be fair this time and that the DNC won’t favour a corporate Democrat? There’s been no evidence or prior indications that this will be the case this time that I have seen.

To them the dnc doing what they do to tip the scales in the open rather than completely behind the scenes is proof they won’t…

Especially with all the shenanigans that have happened since the new chair took over to fuck over progressives. But sure totally will be different this time

yeah, it’s a fucking broken record at this point. Every single fucking time, since I’ve been alive, it’s always “well this time it’s different for the Liberal/Democrat vote, because of some small stupid innocuous change”

And then it never is different. Always some weird cheating ratchet to the right bullshit happens. Rinse and repeat. I’m so sick of it.

lemmy.world/post/42732629 at least people are acknowledging it there.

Yeah it’s sad/amazing how many will ignore how the dems will both let the system be broken and not do anything to actually fix it once back in power

What’s more annoying is the liberals who, for some unfathomable reason, think it’s awesome.
