Yeah, and currently people seem to think that Gavin Newsome would be anything other than a stock standard Democrat if he manages to win a 2028 Presidential bid (if the US even has an election).

But it's all just Social Media "clap back" and talking points. Obviously it's better to have a contender willing to do that, but he's unlikely to be much more than Biden 2.0.

Gavin Newsom is basically George Bush 3

the Dems of today are closer to 1990s Republicans than 2020s Republicans are

Obama: "The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican."

I've watched the Democrats move to the right since then
