    I’d vote for Newsom if he’s the nominee, but I really hope he’s not the nominee (assuming, obviously, the relative utopian future where we get to vote in 2028).

    I’m glad when his media exposure goals overlap with doing actual good things, but - and I may be putting too fine a point on it - he’s basically Hillary if Hillary had a penis and was super jazzed about it, and I am fairly confident I know the smug look he makes when he smells his own farts.

      He’s fully bought by aipac. A vote for him is a vote to murder children and civilians.

          Just cause newsome is charismatic and good looking and antagonizes Trump on social media don’t mean shit.

          He’s not for the people.

          We can’t let superficial b.s be why we vote for someone.

          Idgaf how much shit he gives trump or what he looks like shirtless.

          I care about aipac. Corp pac. And his history of letting corps fuck over his constituents.

          He’s just more fake corp corrupt Dems. Not a socialist. Not for the people.

          Right now, AOC is my choice. She’s Bernie’s prodigy. She is the right choice. Not more rich corrupt men.

      I don’t think he’d do well in a primary taking a proactive stance against a billionaire tax
