        He’s a zionist.
        Your saying this is a perfect demonstration of the centrist dems not learning anything from losing the last election. No more genocide = no more zionists. Either the dems kick AIPAC dominance out of the party or the democratic party ceases to exist. Thats the choice for centrists. The dems arent winning another election otherwise. They cant win without the left and the left wont accept genocide.

        We’ll ride this right into extinction if we have to. Try us.

      He can probably win pretty easily. I’ll take it.

      This isn’t the fucking time to let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

        Newsom isn’t even liked in his home state. Republicans wont ever vote for a Democrat, and he’s had a long history of “Rules for thee, not for me.” Plus his mishandling of homeless issues, his platforming of right wing grifters on his podcast, and just general insufferable way of handling most issues is a turn off for anyone with compassion.

        Newsom is good enough like Biden was good enough in 2020. Everyone is learning the wrong lessons.

              Which explains why Democratic leadership approved the GOP budget in the past: enabling Republicans to do their worse is their election strategy.

                Maybe because Democrats get elected after Republicans mess up the economy, they want to enable their horrid polices as an attempt at an easy win.

                Now that makes sense honestly. They can’t win with boring candidates in stable-ish times. John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris all flopped because they didn’t offer much in times of stability.

                So why not enable more genocide, allow the few who have homes to lose them, ramp up racism and xenophobia, it makes “I will maybe roll some of these back” look good like it did in 2020.
