    I wouldn’t vote for Gavin if he was the Democratic candidate. He is just as horrible as the other Democrats.

    We need true change and true leaders that will change the government to work for the working class instead of the wealthy.

      So who would you vote for? JD Vance? Or you throwing your vote away and letting JD Vance win anyway?

      Edit: we aren’t even in the primaries yet but the bots are already out in full force to start telling American citizens to vote 3rd party.

          Who do think is running in place of Trump? The name is irrelevant. It is the Republican nominee. They are all complicit in genocide it doesn’t matter who it is. It will be the democrats and the republicans. Any other party is a vote for maga.

          Are you that naive to think otherwise?

            Naive is when Americans are corralled to think into the way that you are thinking now. Why is it no one mentioned about primary-ing progressive alternative to Newsom? Everyone quickly assumed it’s Vance and Newsom immediately in the next presidential election.

    At this point in time I’m pretty sure you would win in a landslide if you ran on taxing billionaires. Is being greedy a requirement to be a politician in the US?

      If you’re not greedy, the billionaires won’t fund your campaign. Then you lose.

        Well, added context is billionaires won’t fund your campaign causing your public relations to drop. Then you lose.

        We shouldn’t just scapegoat the rich for something that tens of millions of people vote for while tens of millions more don’t vote at all.

          Irrelevant context. As a great sage once said

          If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice

          This is a binary system one OR the other will win. There is no other outcome. You either push to influence it in a better or worse direction you dont get to sit it out. The result WILL effect you.

            It is relevant and important context because we solve this problem by convincing the millions of people, not the rich.

            A wise famous playwrite once said:

            "Putting the cart before the horse ".

              “Putting the cart before the horse”

              Which is what youre doing by waiting for your perfect fantasy candidate rather than working with the good enough reality.

                You must have me confused with somebody else.

                If Newsom wins the primary then I’ll be singing his praises, you can sleep well knowing that much.

                  I dont believe you. Especially after your previous posts. And god know how many others youve influenced with those “stay home and wait for perfect” ideals.
