    If there is a more progressive challenger I’m gonna be pissed.

    Him and fetterman can duck off with their change of direction mid terms…

    Get this MAGA-lite complicit douchebag out of office.

    He may be the most self serving Democrat since Pelosi/Schumer…both of which also need to go away in favor of progressives who actually want to help citizens and not themselves/billionaires.

    I find it hilarious when idiots accuse Dems of being “far left”

    They’re very right wing

    Yanks just have a completely broken Overton window, and most have no fucking clue about different political ideologies whatsoever

    California has a long history of being cruel to the poor. They hate migrants no matter if they’re from China, Mexico, or Oklahoma. In the 30s they set up a state “border patrol” to keep dust bowl migrants out.

    “Grapes of Wrath” is essential reading for American lefties. The movie is a pretty good substitute for those short on time, and the song takes less than 10min. Steinbeck himself commented bitterly on how few verses it took Woodie Guthrie to sum it all up.

    Gavin Newsom is everything that’s wrong with the Democratic party.

      Do you remember when he was caught at the swanky French Laundry during COVID restrictions, like October 2020 peak deaths in the US meeting with a political advisor while telling his state to adhere to lockdown?

      Britain had their chief of national health or some equivalent of that be caught doing something similar and she was sacked.

      Americans have been conditioned into not accepting or expecting accountability. It’s the root of much of the rot.

      Yup. California isn’t a look into a future Leftist America, it’s a warning of what could be without serious checks of who we let run the party.
