Alright, I'll look at the thread for things beyond Clicky: https://www.resetera.com/threads/gen-zs-far-right-influencers-are-refusing-support-for-jd-vance-vow-to-vote-for-newsom-in-2028.1394452/

I'd be more willing to believe the far right pushing Newsom because they know he'll piss people off on the left (rightfully so, too) than actually be willing to vote for him.

But then again, these shitty influencers probably aren't that forward thinking and are saying this for chud reasons.

Yeah, it's important to see this for what it is, they haven't had a change of heart, they aren't "allies" or changed in anyway, their opportunists going against Vance for being too loud that it makes their (shoddy to most people) "Enlightened centralist just asking questions" act fall too flat, if another Republican candidate fits the bill for them, they'll right back at it.

They aren't choosing Newsom because of any meaningful good or progressive reasons, their picking him because they see him as the most like them and the most likely not to rescind and support their bigoted beliefs (like their transphobia).

Since when do groypers act as "enlightened centrists just asking questions"?

Yep, best thing is to fuck both Vance and Newsom and try to find a candidate that at least stands for human rights.

I'm not going to fuck either of them.  

Sounds to me like their game-plan is to troll the Primary to attempt to prevent an actual Left Wing candidate from getting elected, and then vote Republican anyway in the General.

I disagree with this categorically. They are playtesting a pivot because Trumpism is ending and they dont want to look like losers getting drowned in the coming blue tsumani so they are flirting with the idea of rallying behind a good looking white guy who shares views with them.

 

Reminder that Newsom is no ally

 

I miss when news had the veneer of discussing people who actually mattered in real life.

This "news" is literally two Bluesky tweets.

So, JD Vance is going to flop post-Trump the same way Ron DeSantis did this past election cycle.

DeSantis "flopped" against Trump himself.

Unfortunately we live in a shit reality where these losers matter :/

They still don't, actually. Nick Fuentes and his dumbass groyper army, Clavicular or whatever the fuck- these people are not any serious political or terroristic threat in the real world. They're terminally online losers who are being made out to be serious political/terroristic threats because the media keeps putting a camera on them, because we just just love rewarding dumbass white boys with attention. Ultimately though, they don't control policy or anything. Fucking Chuck Schumer is more of a threat than they are because he's part of the reason our healthcare is about to skyrocket in price.

tl;dr- people need to get offline and go to a town hall.

I stand by my position that not nearly enough people get their ass whooped anymore. Like spencer, these people should not feel safe to espouse they're horrible views and it's a failure on the larger group that they do.

It's a failure that more people don't live in fear of violence when they go outside?

This guy thinks Richard Spencer disappeared because he got punched once doesn't he.

This is just another way the right is trying to stop progressives by making Newsom happen

Depends if establishment Dems or DMC don't sabotage the competition to prop up Newsom. Because they probably will and won't learn a thing when they lose.

It's seeming more and more likely. Really hope someone out of nowhere comes out to stop him and take the lead. Or maybe AOC somehow can.

I could see Newsom winning which could be arguably worse...

I'm not voting for Newsom if he is the option. If the dems seriously put the shithead in the position and prop him up...there isn't more of a way to show they learned nothing and don't give a shit.

Fuck Gavin. Real Republican -lite piece of shit.

We still haven't seen the full field yet, imo.

And I do think if Gavin wants to make himself a real contender he's going to have to do more than this stupid memelord shit. (I'm glad I'm at the age where I don't find this shit funny. Can we PLEASE get candidates who don't look AND act like they still use Axe body spray?)

That said, Gavin is going all in on the "young men just wanna have fun and get laid!" angle, and that's concerning.

If you're going to elect Republican-Lite you're not in the best interest of the noted afflicted groups.

I hope the dem primary isn't overstuffed in a way that benefits Newsom. I worry older voters will default to him.

Except for AOC all the leading Democrats are "establishment"/"centrist"/"Zionist" candidates and there is no progressive "radical" you can find in elected office anywhere that can possibly win the primaries:

Newsom is very palatable for many Republicans.

 

Our country is now in full self-parody mode.

Real talk, always has been.

This is what, our second actor president?

No, Trump making cameos playing himself isn't remotely being an actor. Also Ronald Reagan was a two-term Governor with a long history of political organizing including as a union president back when that meant something.
