Shocking, the guy who was caught at a 2020 dinner party at French Laundry during the pandemic when he had asked Californians to avoid group gatherings for the Thanksgiving holiday.
That's not great, but if that's the worst he ever did I can live with that.
Gavin Newsom is a perfect example of what is wrong with the Democratic party.
People like him, HRC and DWS are the reason Bernie wasn't the DNC candidate in 2016...and are why we're in the mess we're in right now.
Trump didn't win in 2016, HRC lost.
They were too scared Bernie would expose their crimes and corruption, and now we're living in the Turd Reich.
EDIT: DWC should have been DWS
He reminds me a lot of HRC. We know he exists to run for president, but we know very little about what he actually stands for. We know what he's against.
He's a hater, not a leader.

Social democratic policies were also just not as popular in 2016 as they are now. In just a few weeks, a full decade will have passed since 2016.
In 2016, people more or less took American democracy for granted. The voters never knew about the danger that Trump's ideology posed to the republic. This was following eight years of Obama, so right-wingers were thought of as fundamentally just people with bad policy ideas and not people intent on destroying democracy.
Only since then have people really started coming around to social democracy, democratic socialism, and other left-wing ideas. Over time, people have begun to realise, Bernie was right.
It really is too bad that Bernie is so old. He deserves a good retirement, but given the current political climate, he's going to keep fighting for the working class until the bitter end.

Who is DWC?
I think they mean Debbie wasserman-schultz ?
The C should have been an S.
Upvote (for everyone), and i'll fix that
Yeah, Bernie would have been bad for business for corpo dems, but the real reason inner party members picked HRC was to get her either up or out, then everyone in the Democratic party moves up one level.
Whether HRC won or lost, everyone below her in the pyramid would win.

The more I hear about that woman the more I think she is/was an escort.

Let's all be clear, this is him campaigning for president.
What, the, fuck. What goddamn idiots are advising Democratic candidates?
Not idiots, or well not just idiots. Representing the interests of the rich is his job with everything else being secondary. This is the default state of a neoliberal regardless of intelligence. The target of this message is American billionaires, not you.
he disappeared for a few months after making those stupid rants at trump, where was he the whole time.
This guy is auditioning for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.
dont think he needs it, the DNC likely determined already. hes just giving himself more exposure so that people vote on him based on recognizability alone. thats also how trump won too, being in MEDIA alot helped him.

Newsom is a fine example of the kind of democrat that needs to go.
id say hes further right than biden, he makes him look tame in comparison. newsom was willing to entertain right wingers like nick fuentes.
I heard kill the billionaires ... and ban future tax evasion. anyone else hear that?
I already had no respect for him, but, somehow, I have even less now. You fucking turd.
The one good thing here is he's made it clear who's his boss (and it isn't the people)
So he's full mask off at this point. I mean we all knew this, but now he's saying the quiet part out loud.
Gavin realizing he will never be president, so he is trying to secure his future as a Silicon Valley lobbyist.
Oh, gee, what a shocker. The asshole sides with the other assholes.
Eat shit and die, Newsom.
What a cuck
As long as there are different socio-economic classes, it will always be class warfare. Everything will be done to veer the fight away from class warfare. Legitimate causes like feminism and equal rights will be used as distractions to veer away from class warfare. It will always be the mega rich vs everyone else.
Your lesser of two evils future president...
Had me in the first half
he was always there to serve the rich nothing more. even his own father was defending rich people as a lawyer. and thats why he had no influence out of moteray, when he was still in the state congress for a while.

Taxes need to be raised for the wealthy at the Federal level. Prop 40 is a one time, performative scheme that will spend years in court being struck down. But if it gets you guys to vote, fine.
Lol. Not even beating around the bush anymore.
