The bar is low. Really low.
You have to dig a while to find the bar.
ah yes, the democratic party's eternal slogan
I need to look at all the presidents stats now. Im almost positive a normal slightly above average person cannot do the job successfully.
Biden maybe except his "old" stat was maxed.
Jimmy Carter maybe but he couldn't secure a second term. Not sure what all the factors are there.
Clinton? His perv stats were at unacceptable levels but he did make it through a second term.
Obama was maybe the most balanced president except racism.
The online PR firm working on his image in preparation for his presidential campaign is putting in work. Too bad fascists dont recognize democracy, except when they can use it to gain power.
yeah it seems very obvious to me too; he certainly sees this as an opportunity. the podcast was probably part of the campaign prep as well.
Too bad it's fash on fash politics. Newsom is total garbage. Anti-trans, Anti-housing, Anti-transit, Pro-capital, Steve Bannon homie...
Just another less than worthless lib. The reason we have Trump.
Do not split.
But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.
And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.
If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.
He's not even nominated yet, at least save your "lesser evil" bullshit until there is an election. Until then we should demand "no evil", not this prick
I don't want him as president.
The worse Trump fucks up, the less the Democrats see any reason for substantial change. If Trump's fuckery finally shows up on the stock market then the Democrats will absolutely run to the center again, and Newsom will be the front runner.

Anti transit? You mean he's anti the highspeed rail that he's gotten pushback for every step of the way? I certainly don't think he's an angel but less than worthless is pretty far off the mark IMHO.
Let me guess. "both sides"
I hate that this works on your intended audience.
he's doing a good job cosplaying a leftist to gather support.
Can we please have the necessary wealth redistribution that's a requirement to fix the vast majority of problems?
No? We can watch the two most powerful men in the world talk like angry babies at each other?
Ok...
Maybe next year, if we don't boil alive
I don't think Newsome is one of the 10 most powerful men in the world. He is not a billionaire, he does not command a military with offensive capabilities (no warships, no missiles, sniper groups).
He leads a state that has the 4rth strongest economy on the globe.
So..? Greg Abott leads a state with a GDP the size of Canada. Kathy Hocul leads a state with a GDP the size of South Korea.
If anything Abott is strongest because he has fascist backing.

I am here for the mocking, the drama. We will see who runs in the primary. I am not attached to a particular pol at this point. I wish Booker would start channeling this energy. But when it comes to winning a US Presidential election... you need to be male, white and tall. That is just the stats.
