Everybody, I present to you the embodiment of the point I was making, user PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S [he/him]@lemmy.sdf.org who unironically would not endorse Newsom against a Republican opponent.
I wouldn’t endorse Newsom either. I made that mistake with Biden in 2020 and we would have been 1000% better off if Trump had won. At least then the Republicans wouldn’t have had four years to build project 2025 emboldened by Biden’s weak response to January 6.
I am almost 100% certain this county will be ended by another shitlib presidency.
Fucking based
No I will not be endorsing your shitty politician, triply so for fascist Republicans, but doubly so for controlled “opposition” fascists like Newsom. Electoralism is a waste of time for progressives. Liberalism is killing us. It is keeping good people preoccupied with the theater of liberal democracy, instead of destroying existing systems and building alternatives to state power and capitalism. The usefulness of even the “best” (i.e. least worst) liberal politician is limited by the fact that they work within and in service of a liberal democracy controlled by billionaires.
Our climate is in crisis, fascists control the government, migrants and non-white citizens are being harassed and imprisoned and killed, healthcare is impossible to afford, and the settler-colonialists are still in control of Amerikkkan society after over 400 years of slavery and terrorism, and your solution is more milquetoast liberalism? Are you fucking kidding me?!? Burning everything to the fucking ground is the bare fucking minimum, we should have burned it to the fucking ground a thousand times over, hundreds of fucking years ago. Fuck off with this liberal horseshit. Past 250 years of Amerikkkan government and post-WWII American domination showed us what happens when we let Enlightenment-pilled liberals control the world.
And Newsom is a particularly shit shitlib, and it is galling that liberals shove him of all people into the faces of more progressive people. Like you didn’t just pick a random dog turd to shove in our faces, you went down to the local sewage treatment plant and sifted through all the turds and found one of the stinkiest possible turds at the bottom of the tank just to show us and be like “see? Gaze upon this specimen of a turd! Smell how stinky this turd is! Why won’t you love my stinky turds?”. With liberals like him, who needs conservatives? Like he’s such fucking trash that even Democrats find him repulsive.
