I can't wait to begrudgingly tell people to vote for Gavin Newsom so he can defeat Donald Trump's run for a third term.
I can't believe our best bet is yet another billionaire. I really hope James Talarico can make it
I've said that any billionaire is automatically off my list, but Pritzker has been saying the right things. I like Kelly, too.
Newsome is a Manchurian MAGA phony. He's the Democrat that the Oligarchs will support. If he becomes president, MAGA will be back AGAIN in four years.
My choice will be the candidate who explicitly says that his top priority will be to crush MAGA, prosecute their followers for their CRIMES (Which are many), and purge it from our government and society. MAGA is a proven National Security Threat, and their leaders are Domestic Terrorists, so it shouldn't be a problem to prohibit MAGA from existing. I have other issues that are important to me, but they are ALL on the back burner until the MAGA threat can be properly sorted out.
