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.

The DNC will back whoever THEY want as their candidate and they will do everything on their power to make sure everyone else falls in line. And they will use the same tropes they’ve always used about ‘most important election of our lifetime™’ and every liberal voter will fall on line
