Sigh. Newsom’s social media team is doing a bit too well. People are going to forget he’s a slightly leftish centrist and go gaga over another white man come to save everyone, mistaking a clever social media team for good policy. Going for the flashy candidate. That’s what got us here.
And assuming there’s even an election, Republicans are guaranteed to run some horrible Nazi or Nazi adjacent ghoul. So of course by default anyone Democrats offer is “better”, which is like comparing different kinds of cancer.
Not to mention the next President has pretty much a free pass. They know the mission is “undo DJT” and if they stumble or fail, who can blame them? They were left one of the biggest messes in our history. Worse, the bar has been lowered straight into the magmatic core. The next President will be able to openly profit from their office, give the finger to decorum, or pretty much whatever else they want. “At least they’re not as bad as Donald” we’ll mutter, accepting them otherwise.
We don’t need another status-quo-defending white man to re-establish the rigged systems already in place. We need radicals to shake things up. We’re the bottom of the developed nation barrel right now, and the societal structures in place that enabled this disastrous regime must not be repeated. We need people who will give us hope and bring change.
We can do better. Even assuming we should be voting for any candidate either major party offers us. We need to take the next election (if there is one) seriously. I understand there won’t be a perfect candidate but we can barely even get people to vote. Excite us, but with goals and solutions, not flashy cults of personality.
I, personally, have had enough of cults.
I like his trolling trumpty dumpty but there’s others who are in my mind more substantive candidates. That being said if my cat ran for president as a Democrat he’d get my vote.
You and me both!! No Republicans,Get the fork, I'm done.Thanks Fae, and will reStack ASAP 💯 👍
