In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California’s Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state’s Democrats.
The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%).

Its the voters fault that the candidates are shit…
The voters cant influence the candidates in the end. The voters can inffluence who wins. The voters and non voters chose fascism.
Every single non voter is just as bad as the worst magahat.
The important thing here is that you’re right and should continue preaching the same message because it worked so well the last time. And changing tactics wouldn’t be a sign of learning something or not being lazy.

I tell them to not expect worsening conditions to teach liberals the right lesson and they should vote as if they’re choosing a boss fight. In that context fascist-light is the correct choice.

There’s 57 comments and if you can’t see mine then I guess someone banned/blocked you. I edited my comment to include the text I posted.
Everyone you disagree with is a bot, even when they have articulated thoughts.

Well lemme know when someone calls out a fascist platforming transphobe who hates the poor, and you don’t think they’re a Trump supporter.

I voted for Harris in California, so I am thanks to Trump’s bullshit.
Yeah. I think they’re just young idealists, trying to signal their values on social media.
I don’t think Lemmy is much of a target for bots but I feel like we get the back scatter - actual users parroting the narrative they picked up elsewhere.
