Yeah, and currently people seem to think that Gavin Newsome would be anything other than a stock standard Democrat if he manages to win a 2028 Presidential bid (if the US even has an election).
But it's all just Social Media "clap back" and talking points. Obviously it's better to have a contender willing to do that, but he's unlikely to be much more than Biden 2.0.
True, but the whole "if we have elections" part is why I'll back Newsom for now. Though I'm hoping a more socialist candidate gets the nomination.
"stock standard Dem" is looking pretty good right now.
Why? They had a big hand in causing this mess in the first place.
They haven't had enough senate seats to have a hand in anything for over a decade. 48 or less for 6 consecutive whole congresses.
The opposition is literally killing people.
