I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread. The fights going on are way over my pay grade and it's 2 days old. Rule 5 my friends.
I almost understand the appeal of Trump now
Gavin is OWNING THE CONS and now they have Gavin Derangement Syndrome
I've ironically been telling my Right Wing friends that he's my new messiah and adopting Trump's speech patterns... and I actually had to explain the joke to them when they failed to notice I was acting unusual and instead just kept shitting on Gavin for being associated with California (no other reason)
It's fun seeing them get so mad over his being a garbage person and pretending the problem is with them for not "getting it man"
Does MAGA know Trump is shit and they've just been gaslighting everyone this whole time? Naw that can't be it
It's a shame Gavin Newsom is such a dipshit, because he's actually funny.
Good news. He isn't running his own Twitter.
What do you mean?
How is this funny? Imitating Trump's ranting style does not make him look satirical, it makes him look like a total dipshit cause Trump's rants are fucking stupid and nonsensical and anyone who tries to imitate it even in a satirical manner looks unhinged.
It's funny because it proves the Right recognizes Trump's misbehavior the second you remove the name Trump.
It's their confession they've been had
Parody is a pretty common form of comedy. Like sure it’s kind of depressing that he is imitating a president and acting like that.
But like there was a whole episode of 30 Rock which is a sitcom from 15 years ago about them doing the same thing
Ok, but his parody isn't even funny.
Yes it is.
Praise be!!!🧨🧨🧨✝️✝️✝️Gavin is good!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Gavin is only good if you're a transphobe.
Gavin Newsom is a PoS just like Donny. American democrats will do anything aside from fight against Trump's fascist regime.
All they can muster is some tweets.
I'd argue the opposite: satire and humor are the best way to get people on your side and motivated.
What's the joke here then? Cause it isn't funny.
In all likelihood, he's going to be running for President against Trump in 2028, what are some reasons that I shouldn't I vote for Newsom?
I suppose Newsom may win the presidency in 2028, and then caretake the country while doing the minimum for 4 to 8 years.
Just in time for another gop to win after that, and drive the USA to the brink of ruin even more than Trump
Back and forth. Same pattern the last two decades or more

I would back a progressive candidate as hard as you can in the primary if possible.
Newsom has a similar vibe problem as Harris where people outside of California don’t really know them or like them much.
Personally I say fuck anyone from CA or NY (except AOC) we need a candidate from somewhere else more down to earth.
If the options in November 2028 come down to Newsom vs Trump (or whoever is his puppet), I'm still voting for Newsom. I won't be happy about it, but if we can't get a real progressive through the primaries, I'm still voting against the GOP and for the non-GOP candidate with the best chance of winning.
If the dems think a conservative candidate win, they will ratfuck progressives again, which is how we got Trump both times.
We need to make it absolutely clear that under no circumstances can the DNC let a conservative win the primary because they will lose the general. We did "yes, we know he sucks, but this is the most important election ever" with Biden, and he showed an entire generation that the dems are not an effective means to enacting positive social change, giving us back Trump.
Are there any progressives you are hoping will run? I'm not familiar with most politicians, would be helpful to know who's worth learning more about.
He platforms Charlie Kirk on his podcast, and his record for how he treats policy in relation to prisons is pretty shit. In 2022 he vetoed a bill that would end indefinite solitary confinement because, ya know, that makes sense. He’s a self-important loud-mouth who’s doing funny things in regards to attack Trump but absolutely is not what the US needs right now. They to yank that needle to the left and all they’re being offered is centrists and conservatives who don’t like to stir the pot even while fascism is fully present in their country.
Be realistic. A leftist has no chance to get elected in the USA. A centrist is the best you can do.
Is that why Zohran Mamdani has been blowing every centrist in New York out of the water?
Just like Donny.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I grew up in California during Newsom and Harris’ rise to power.
As uninspiring as they are, this approach has highlighted Trump’s ridiculous communication style in a way that has not been challenged to date.
We can dive into actual policy if you want.
He's a transphobe that would gladly put homeless people in a woodchipper.
Agreed that sicking the cops on homeless people is bad policy, and doing that in response to a court ruling without plan to actually help people is egregious. Does seem like he took an opportunity to disguise a NIMBY directive behind a court ruling.
Transphobe though? What he diverges on the specific issue of trans women/girls in gender protected sports divisions and we just have to throw out everything else he’s supported or signed laws for trans and gay rights in the last 20 years?
He literally invited Charlie Kirk to his podcast and agreed with him about transgender ideology being a problem. That's clear cut transphobia.
The thing is Transpeople in Sports is a distraction and by humoring it as a real issue he is playing to the cons

Yeah, I smile every time a Republican gets trolled by Newsom.
Honestly, a small chunk of the DNC should just be dedicated to keeping Republicans enthralled (with Newsom leading that subteam) while the rest of the Democrats do proper work organizing country wide for 2026.

Man, it's hard to figure out what's more pathetic: their complete inability to process satire of the fact that they lost their shit this hard over a minimalist logo.
The logo shit is manufactured to keep the news off of important shit; before that it was the Sydney Sweeny ad, next week it'll be something else
I have no idea what Sydney Sweeney ad you are talking about, and I'm going to take that as a win and feel better about my shitty week.
Thanks friend
The minimalist logo, it's beyond stupid on a baseline. Don't get me wrong it looks kinda shit and I would've gone for the retro old West type face they originally had but still, throwing that level of piss fit over a damned logo is... Pathetic.
