    “Newsom is worse than Hitler”

    Lmao, yea I’m not touching that one

    candidates other people pick

    Should I take this to mean that you’ve selected Newsom before he or anybody else has actually announced? Who has ‘picked’ a candidate at this point?

    What I don’t see in this comment is an actual defense of Newsom by any sort of merit, which is about as expected. People criticizing Newsom (or any other presumptive candidate at this point) for his policy positions are sending signals that there’s a hole in the presumptive candidate pool that someone can fill. If someone were to actually announce their candidacy, they’d have a pretty clear lane to pick that Newsom has left open (but actually maybe not, since he himself can’t seem to pick a lane on just about any issue, and is instead just swerving back and forth across the entire field). I think AOC would be a decent pick to fill that lane, even if I have my apprehensions, but she hasn’t announced yet either.

    Because you’re using “libs” I’m assuming you’re not American?

    Are you new here?

      Oh no, I don’t know anything about him other than his trump trolling. I just see people already losing their minds at the thought that he could be the nominee.

      I think AOC would be a decent pick to fill that lane, even if I have my apprehensions, but she hasn’t announced yet either.

      I’d love to see an AOC candidacy. But given America’s obvious problem with voting for women I dunno how it would play out. I guess it depends if we all survive that far.

      Are you new here?

      Yeah yeah just fell off the turnip truck. Back home liberal means progressive and leftist is between sophmore and junior in college. As it has done for literally generations. Other countries, though, use it differently.

          I can read. So. Good one.

          • claims to like AOC but worries she cant win because she’s a woman

          Has that not occurred to you? Here. You should probably realize that other people are involved in deciding your country’s future. Take your time.

          • complains that everyone else is just being cynically picky for taking issue with candidates actual policy positions

          Cynically picky? Ha! What bullshit.

          • claims the title of liberal for “”““progressives””“”

          What

          🥸
