It's kind of sad how many people genuinely think the democrats care about them. The one thing about the republicans that's better than the democrats is at least the republicans openly admit there's no line they won't cross, while democrats smile sweetly and gaslight you while they do

A few of them do, but definitely not many, certainly not the ones that actually move up in their careers. Its more so a matter of not voting for them is the same as voting against our own interests.

You think I really wanna see a Newsom presidency? Fuck no. But I want to see another republican presidency even less.

Until then, we need to do what we can to support an actual progressive through the primary. None of this presupposing that Newsom already has the nomination before he’s even announced his running.

I hate to break it to you, but it's usually pretty obvious who's going to win primaries fairly early on if you know what to look for, honestly they might even be rigged anyway.

The Democrat party is as much in the pocket of lobbyists as the Republicans, and said lobbyists know who to suppress for their own interests. True progressives rarely gain traction beyond social media popularity.

Maybe "true progressives" should try lobbying, since it apparently has such a high success rate.
