“Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades. How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much!” Trump began in a post on his social media platform.

Trumps lies are making Newsom sound like a cool politician. Sadly he is just another piece of shit that simply happens to have humor.

[-] habitualTartare@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Yup I'm really hoping the DNC isn't going to set him up as the next presidential candidate.

Ever since the whole violating covid rules he set thing his name leaves a sour taste.

[-] Zephorah@discuss.online 26 points 1 week ago

He’s a poster boy for establishment, so I hope not.

But I’m betting the DNC will campaign on “~~Trump~~ MAGA bad.” Again. Only with a twist.

Surely you guys have had enough of this MAGA crap, so let’s “get back to normal”, to get rid of MAGA and its destruction, you must vote for Daddy Establishment. And, it’s Newsom.

He wins. DNC takes the legislature and the Senate. And abortion is legalized. But nothing else happens.

Alternatively, JD Vance becomes Putin and we have no real elections going forward. (Melania was holding Trump’s hand on that England trip…high odds he’s not doing well.)

At this point, I'll take anything to get rid of Trump. The enemies of my enemies... We can deal with Newsom later, when the Trump regime is dispensed with.

Ah, but you won't, will you.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 18 points 1 week ago

Yeah better let the Nazi destroy everything instead then huh

Do everything you can to get a better candidate than newsom in the primary, absolutely. But when it's the general election, and if he's the candidate, not voting against the Nazi makes you just another Nazi.

[-] UpperBroccoli 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah better let the Nazi destroy everything instead then huh

Nice strawman, I especially like the hat!

[-] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 5 points 1 week ago

It's very telling that you chose to ignore the pertinent half of the comment.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah remember all the people that pushed Biden left and totally didn't spend 4 years yelling at leftists that criticized him cause he kept going right?

[-] tburkhol@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I would rather have a better candidate. Someone who appeals to a broad coalition of progressives, lefties, liberals and general non-nazis, and now is the time to look for that person. We're 3 years from the Presidential election - it's way too early to anoint Newsom or pretend that he's the only alternative to Trump's 3rd term.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

progressives, lefties, liberals and general non-nazis

Remarkably, the current Democratic establishment is none of these things.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'll take anything to get rid of Trump.

Why? Aside from personally being an absolute bag of shit, Trump is not remotely the worst part of the Trump presidency. Trump isn't competent enough to do most of the harm.being done. He's just a spokesman or a puppet.

If we elect the wrong Democrat, in four more years we'll be in even worse shape. That's what happened when we nominated Biden. I called it the second he won the nomination. We would have been better off if Trump won in 2020. Biden was not up to the moment, and Newsom is not up to this moment. If he gets the nomination, America will not survive. Of course, we may not survive anyways - so maybe this conversation is moot.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Same, I will take a neo liberal over this shitstain of a man baby we are dealing with.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Hey, it's me cool guy Gavin Newsom. Trump has a weird penis, and is actually bad at managing money. Ha ha. Ha ha. What? It kills when I hang out with my rich friends eating over priced sushi. The Cheeto doesn't get jokes. Ha ha. Still nothing? Well you poors still need me to be the next president.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 38 points 1 week ago

This is HILARIOUS! I can TOTALLY Look Past his Want of Exterminating Trans and Gay and Poor people in the Primaries if he KEEPS up with these Bangers!

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Don't forget to purity check today! If you didn't purity check, how can you be sure that only pure of heart and wholesome on all sides people will help you fight fascism. You don't want unclean allies, don't you?

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

It's a purity check to not be amped about a guy that actively does the exact behavior that's decried when the right is the perpetrator?

Being a hypocrite is enlightened centrism now?

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Seeing what Trumpism is doing to America and sitting here being all choosy about the alternative is basically what lead y'all here in the first place. When you will be thrown to a concentration camp for a thought crime, the thought that the opposition wasn't all that perfect either will not help you in the slightest. It doesn't help all the millions of people who's lives are being upended because Americans weren't that engaged about the democratic message.

[-] PyroNeurosis 9 points 1 week ago

How 'unclean' are you willing to tolerate?

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Blue MAGA would tolerate Hitler if he ran as a Dem.

[-] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

They would support trump exactly as he is right now if he were a dem. And still accuse leftists our purity tests are trying to get the other guy elected.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No, sorry the Democratic candidates have to at least be fuckable. Trump is probably the most unfuckable person on the planet.

They do have some standards.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

And yet I'll see them accusing everyone else of treating politics like a sports team.

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 week ago

If I search for "maga house", "maga car", "maga outfit", etc, I will get a very specific set of images. Pages after pages of them.

Can you please demonstrate equivalents of what this "blue maga" looks like for those searches?

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Just replace Trump with Kamala or whoever the next Dem nominee will be. I've seen houses set up the same way and clothing merch with all the nonsense. They act exactly like MAGA. You can't criticize their chosen God cause then you're seen as the enemy and they will fight like hell to protect their precious neolib from criticism.

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Really? I haven't. Not once.

Should be easy to share a picture demonstrating that then, right?

Something like:

Edit: The last time I asked this question, I was shown a tshirt, a hat, and a banner about Gavin Newsom poking fun at Trump, as three separate photos. The T-shirt wasn't even on a person.

If its so common, surely there must be some pictures.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Their car:

Their costume:

Their every day wear:

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Their car:

Thats all removable.

Edit: To be clear, I mean that doesnt even survive rain. Its soap. And tape. Not a sticker, not a paint job, and not even a single flagpole!

Closer! But not remotely near what maga territory looks like.

Their costume

A hat and a T-shirt... Still seems a little bit like just regular stuff you see at a rally or convention...

Their every day wear:

Ah, t-shirts again. Not a vest with 80 patched on it that say Kamala, no coverage in ridiculous flags...hell, no Kamala tattoos in sight!

Sorry, none of that is remotely close yet. I appreciate the effort though!

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Oh so you're wanting

Stickers

and flagpoles?

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 week ago

Much more like it!

Still not anywhere near that maga territory though, gotta get all that on one car, plus some paint jobs for permanence and that flag pole needs to be permanently mounted to be remotely close to... Even 2016 maga.

But a much better attempt than I have seen before! Well done.

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Those are the photos of people in the political rallies, just to be sure. About the only place where wearing political merch is appropriate. Or do you think people who walk in parades are wearing that in real life? Have you ever been outside?

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

At this point, a candidate that doesn't actively violates the law to install blatantly fascistic government is about as swell as it can go. I'll take "debates about rights of trans people in sports" or whatever the issue was, over every minority including trans people being hunted on the streets by the gangs of masked people with absolute authority.
Just like all the choice in America, it's a choice between a bad situation and a literal hell with torture and eternal flames.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

This is so lame if this is what the democratic party has their hopes on. Yeah, the dude that had dinner parties at high end restaurants during COVID is our only hope. Another dork. I want to live in the alternate timeline where Bernie won 2016.

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

I would vote for him in an instant if it means this hell would be over.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Id vote for cocaine bear is this nightmare would end.

[-] krunklom@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

I'd vote for a bear on cocaine in any elected position whenever I possibly could. Out of principal. If a bear on cocaine made its way onto a ballot you know he or she would be a great leader.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I also am in favour of cocaine bear

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Plus a cocaine bear would definitely not be blowing up drug smugglers!

[-] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

The same guy that just said 'The best way to honor Charlie’s memory is to continue his work?'

It's a big club, and you ain't in it

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I seriously don't understand how the dems think that trying to appease fascist by saying shit like this is going to get fascist to magically vote for them....they don't vote for you because you're a dem not because you're not repub enough.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Is he ever gonna do anything besides being the weird old guy trying to seem cool with the kids?

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I am sure he will get some witty writers to convince you he can. The real answer is no

[-] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Man… people STILL haven’t learned from the find out stage of staying home instead of voting?

America is fucked.
