Interesting crap. The only truth here is if you don’t vote, you have voted for the winner. All this business about not liking a party or candidate and not voting is essentially just voting for the winner. Not very smart and just planning to roll over and take it.
With Gruesome Newsom being the possible front leader of the Democrats for presidential candidates they’re utterly not hiding they don’t care about human rights. They’d happily walk back LGBT+ rights to stay in office at this point.
I’m not American, so I know very little about newscom, what’s so bad about him?
Simply put, transphobe. Uses the same rhetoric as the far right. As well his policies on homelessness and handling it in Cali is pretty piss poor. He’s another example of fascist lite put forward by the Dems who are trying to appear more right.

Winning over one voter is much harder than convincing someone not to vote. It’s exactly the sort of strategy an effective political actor would engage in to win when faced with a deeply unpopular party.
He still does. Progressives are winning more and more seats, eventually the DNC will be replaced and be useful brick by brick.

Can’t undersell the amount of progress DSA and its allies have made in the last six years.
But we’re talking about half a dozen Congressional seats. A smattering of state and local races. Lots of people who are totally untested and unproven. Lots of people - like El Sayud and Mamdani - who seem more than happy to meet Zionists and bigot reactionaries halfway.
And they’re squaring off against legions of ICE goons, corporate drones, and fascist billionaires fully on board with mass extermination of their opponents.
Look at Bo French down in Texas. This is a guy who is advocating a Holocaust of 100M people across the US. He’s polling even with Jon Rosenthal, a Democrat who wants to maybe raise taxes on energy companies a little bit.
the DNC will be replaced
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it to happen.
Those progressives you cheer for still uphold the oppressive systems that keep the working class down.
If history is any guide they’ll enthusiastically fund his every whim.
