      Yeah it pains me too, but it seems that being a trollish funnyman who makes good screenshots worth reposting is the essence of electability in 2025

      Of course he is hated he is everything every Democrat politician has been since I’ve been alive. Until everyone decides they want to do something a little more extreme then just voting this is the best you are going to get.

      Nah, libs adore him and always have. That’s how he gets elected.

      Those of us on the actual LEFT who’re paying attention to his policies and other actions that aren’t pure PR gimmicks and “sounds good on the surface” never could stand him, though, and would be enormous hypocrites to applaud his fighting gerrymandering with gerrymandering.

        I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted (there are deleted child comments so maybe that’s where the issue lies), you’re pretty spot on. When I was less politically educated (I don’t pretend to be the most informed now) and considered myself a liberal I was pretty cool with Newsom. Never looked into much of his policies but the headlines usually phrased things in a way that aligned with my ideals at the time so I was ok with him. Now that I’m a good deal older and pay a bit more attention to things I think he’s a complete tool, but in a freak scenario where Trump gets elected for an illegal 3rd term and goes full dictator and Newsom successfully secedes California from the US, California is the obvious option.

          That’s rich coming from a shitlib constantly shifting all the blame for the disastrous Harris campaign’s failure onto the Left 🙄

            Third party voters like you are absolute frauds with nothing of value to be heard

            Sorry I don’t have some pathetic label to place on you like shitvoter or whatever
