Because Newsome is smart and JD is an idiot.

Great, just what we need: another milquetoast centrist corporate democrat.

Democrats about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.

his presidency would only slow the pace of America’s rot, but not halt it

I’ve been reading headlines like this for a decade. Those fuckers are still in charge, not prison.
What a cool guy. I’m glad that our “saviors” continue to be corporate Dems who only care about public relations and donor dollars.

I hope I’m wrong, especially if Democrats try to run him in 2028, but I can’t see a Californian governor winning the presidential election. Even a lot of the more independent types I’ve talked to talk bad about California constantly. Republicans have done a great job at making California seem like a terrible place to live or even visit.

If for no other reason, and there are lots of other reasons, it’s because only Newsom’s hair appears greasy whereas Vance appears to have been formed entirely out of rancid butter.

voter access has been rolled back. trump sycophants hold elector positions in every swing state. the next presidential race will be the most corrupt in US history.
we are not taking it back without a cultural movement that is undeniable.
i don’t believe Kimberly Guilfoyle’s ex-husband will be leading that cultural movement.

At this point, I do not exactly appreciate the idea of fronting a centrist for the fourth consecutive time. We can do better than Newsom.

Establishment Dems are gonna be shocked when he loses and progressives will be blamed somehow.

No Gavin Newsom.

gross. Lets keep corpo dems out of national offices.

Trump has no chance against Hillary etc etc

Newsome needs to establish a record of supporting popular movements like affordability, taxes on the wealthy, and criminal justice reform. Otherwise, apathetic Dem voters will not leave their houses to vote. A la 2024.

Simple. JD Vance is a pusillanimous piece of shit.

I’ll take one order of neither please.

Unless we get a new, more progressive, Gavin Newsom, let the primaries play out and try to find someone that represents change better.

Can we stop parading the first centrist who does the bare minimum out like they’re the chosen one? Newsom sucks beyond antagonizing Trump
AncientBee5348 on
Democrats obviously don’t want to win in 2028 if they continue to shove this egomaniac ambitious thug down our throats.

Because JD has the charisma of a turnip?

Whatever JD Vance’s real name is, he has the rare ability to suck all personality out of a room. He cannot possibly be the BEST the Republican’s have to offer.

Anytime there is a post about Newsom, the bots/empty accounts come out in force. Telling. Check their post history.
ItsSpaghettiLee2112 on
But we don’t want him. In 2028 liberals need to get out of their comfort zone in the primaries and vote progressive.

Why overconfidence keeps biting the Democrats in the ass.

People thought the same thing about Hilary and Kamala and here we are. Its the issue with dems.

Vance has the charisma of a cum-stained couch and has the political aptitude of one too. Just about any candidate would crush Vance *on paper.*
But if the last ten years have shown anything, it’s that the mix of deep resentment, lack of education, and overwhelming propaganda has made it so that a significant chunk of the electorate will tolerate quite literally anything if it means not voting for someone with a (D) behind their name.
American federal elections are no longer about the strength of candidates, it’s about the strength of the propaganda machine behind them. For that reason alone, Vance shouldn’t be underestimated.

Gavin Newsom? The same Gavin Newsom who signed [AB 715](https://aclucalaction.org/bill/ab-715-oppose/) to protect Israel from criticism in public schools? The one who [vetoed a trans health care bill](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-10-17/newsom-vetoes-key-health-measure-transgender-politics) and [criticized trans athletes in sports](https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/03/newsom-transgender-athletes/)? The guy who loves to hear himself talk but [malfunctioned when questioned about AIPAC](https://katv.com/news/nation-world/gov-newsom-has-awkward-reaction-during-podcast-interview-when-host-discusses-aipac-thomas-massie-marjorie-taylor-greene-matt-gaetz)?
