Should I take this to mean that you've selected Newsom before he or anybody else has actually announced?

Oh no, I don’t know anything about him other than his trump trolling. I just see people already losing their minds at the thought that he could be the nominee.

I think AOC would be a decent pick to fill that lane, even if I have my apprehensions, but she hasn't announced yet either.

I’d love to see an AOC candidacy. But given America’s obvious problem with voting for women I dunno how it would play out. I guess it depends if we all survive that far.

Are you new here?

Yeah yeah just fell off the turnip truck. Back home liberal means progressive and leftist is between sophmore and junior in college. As it has done for literally generations. Other countries, though, use it differently.

I can read. So. Good one.

claims to like AOC but worries she cant win because she's a woman

Has that not occurred to you? Here. You should probably realize that other people are involved in deciding your country's future. Take your time.

complains that everyone else is just being cynically picky for taking issue with candidates actual policy positions

Cynically picky? Ha! What bullshit.

claims the title of liberal for """"progressives""""

What

You might be able to read but you've certainly missed the irony.
