I would one thousand percent prefer Newsom over Trump and I almost guarantee Newsom wouldn’t send his brownshirts into red states to shoot mothers.

Do you think newsom would steal children from parents, shoot mothers, molest children and call for war and tariffs?

Do you think newsom would let a prick like Steve miller pull his Hitler act?

These two people are not the same.

Perfection? The only thing that stopped him from joining the right is that Trump holds grudges. That fascist reject hung out with Charlie Kirk and threw trans people under the bus despite boasting about how much he supports the queers for decades. He tried so hard to join them because he has always been a slimy pickme neofeudalist. If he gets elected, there will not be the reforms needed to prevent fascism from rising again. Hell, he might even usher it in.

Also, how do you think Harris lost to Trump? Do you think the Democrats bear no responsibility for it? That there were no long term trends that led to populism; tends helped along in equal part by both parties? Is it only that the nonvoters ruined perfection? Are there really no tactical missteps that you can remember from 2024? Really!?

Aw poor Gavin newsome, hell have to displace some of californias most vulnerable people via sweeps to feel better. If only we gave him more power we could have avoided this

would only apply if Gavin Newsom was "good".

He is not good, he even denied genocide in Gaza and protected billionaires

The Democrats have had nothing but people like Newsom since the 1980s but you think that’s the best course of action? He was invited there because he would only talk about cultural grievances and not the economic ones that the wealthy are currently causing.

Nobody wants perfect. A neoliberal Democrat winning will just continue the kleptocracy while lying to us about it. Bill Clinton, Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are controlled opposition.

Also, Ben Shapiro, the lying little shit ran circles around him on Newsom’s podcast. Made him seem like a weak bitch.

Stop saying that bullshit nonsense. He is not “good”. We don’t demand perfection, we demand that these people don’t be genocidal right wing fascist light.

I hate whatever pundit told you all to say “dont let perfect be the enemy of good.” It makes me feel like I’m talking to a bunch of programmed robots.

He is a corpocrate. A shill for the wealthy. He represents the white moderates.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

• MLK https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html

MLK advocated for some pretty radical changes to our society. Not just racial equality. We need the white moderates to lose their investments, or they won’t really help. They have too much to lose, they think maybe tomorrow would be more opportune.

Same then, same now.

California has the fourth largest economy in the world.

it out-performs Canada.

so yeah, it makes sense to have him there as a speaker.

Given that snivelling Nigel Fucking Farage spoke at one of the Davos events the bar can't be that high.

California is probably the most powerful state in the US and more than some EU countries

I’m sorry, but the people at Davos have no material interest in opposing Trump. The global oligarchy and the politicians they employ are preparing the world for neo-feudalism, and Trump is their Messiah.
