Gavin Newsom threw trans people under the bus, palled around with fascists on his podcast, and gleefully filmed himself destroying houseless peoples' tents, but then he was mean to republicans on social media so everyone is praising him. I hate this country.

I think the trolling is funny, but we need to keep banging the drum that he isn't a good guy. If he gets the dem nom then a LOT of voters will be very disinterested

And he'll lose, and we'll get blamed for not voting for a rotten asshole.

Again.

If you didn't vote against Donald you deserve that blame.

Oh, please.

The spoiler effect is voter suppression, and the DNC intentionally helped elevate Trump to a serious candidate in the first place.

They'd rather lose, and feed us to the Republicans ON PURPOSE than let us win anything we actually need. This is controlled opposition, good cop / bad cop kayfabe that makes a vile parody of democracy.

But sure, punch down and to the left instead of blaming our oppressors. They love it when you do that.

I'm not the one who's been spending your donations on Republican campaign ads.

(Oh, and arms for genocide.)

If you were eligible to vote against Donald and didn't, you're complicit in what's happening. Everything else is debate club nonsense.

The DNC triples the campaign budget of MAGA Republicans, but I'm the one who's complicit?

Do you have any idea what controlled opposition is, or how good cop / bad cop works?
