    I struggle to see it too, but I think I’d rather her lose than newsom win. I’ve always been a “harm reduction” sort, but I see NO way out through the dem establishment: a third senile trump term would probably be better in the long run than watching the ratchet click yet again. America needs change and leadership that actually believes in something positive enough to fight for it.

        America is pretty progressive, it’s the corporate media and PAC donor money to every corrupt politician in the country (90% of both Dems and Repubs) that are not progressive.

        Give them enough time and you’ll hear how he’s bad for us all.

        It doesn’t matter which candidate is in the front, the propaganda and hate machine will shift focus and they’ll lose.

              If people are telling a politician a thing they are doing is bad, maybe consider they have a point and the politician should stop instead of demanding fealty. Confusing whether we are supposed to represent out politicians or our politicians are supposed to represent us is how dems justify doing the shit that tanks their popularity.
