Bernie was and is an AGED US Senator from a TINY state who has become a millionaire as a Congressman and Senator. Has he authored or enacted any major legislation in his career?

I lived in Vermont when he was an impoverished mayor.

Amazing how rich he’s become.
And he is a shitty Senator. I worked for an ESOP in Vermont for 12 years. Bernie claims to be a big proponent of employee ownership, but he and his staff never came close to the offices of Patrick Leahy or Peter Welch (both of whom visited our factory) in offering support and advice on dealing with the specific technical issues faced by ESOPs. Bernie was always absent and his staff never returned calls. He is a fraud.

I'm ambivalent on Newsom, but I love this game. Maybe it makes him unelectable, which is fine with me. But I love the idea of fucking the destroyers of our democracy in every way possible.
Obviously it is much worse when Trump sues media organizations because he can use the power of the presidency to leverage more favorable news coverage (e.g. not approving the Viacom sale because 60 minutes is too nice to Kamala).

But I think it is a terrible precedent for politicians to sue media companies based on "biased" media coverage. I have no objection to private companies, such as Dominion, suing Fox. That is a much different issue. But I am concerned about politicians using the power of the state to shape media coverage they do not like.

I am unpersuaded. I think that Newsom is showing personal bravery and it's about time to fight fire with fire. Maga is not holding back.

Non-Maga doesn't have the luxury of norms.

We established earlier on this thread there are many, many fanboys for Newsom's brand of performative politics. I remain unimpressed.
 
Let’s focus on this board.

Who are the Newsom fanboys?
Cal is not only NOT a fanboy, he’s an out right hater. He’d rather vote Trump than Gavin. He’d rather have a third Trump term as opposed to a Newsom in the whitehouse… it’s that bad with him. Long live TrumP! Fuck Gavin.

Not true. I'd gladly vote Gavin over any Republican in the general. Unfortunately, I don't think I could get 50% of the public to join me. So, hopefully, I will not be forced to make that choice in November 2028.

This is pretty much the extent to what I had to say on the subject:

“Roy Cooper went National while he was Guv.
Shapiro, Whitmer, DeSantis, Huckabee… tons of Guvs have gone “National” for this that and the other.
Besides, it’s documented that Newsom’s was a State-wide address NOT NATIONAL.
While it garnered national attention and addressed issues of national concern, his primary focus was on the state of California and its residents.”


I’m not sure if statements like the above make me a “fanboy” of Newsom’s “performative” politics or not. Perhaps you weren’t referring to me personally while casting your aspersions. (Fanboys indeed).

So if not me, to whom on this board are you referring? If there are so many “fanboys” on this one little board, perhaps you’re wrong and you may find 50% of the voting public willing to join you in casting a vote for Newsom against a Trump third term after all.
 


He has also joined the battle of the memes and you go low, we go lower social media battles …which may prove his undoing as I don’t think moderates and independents will give a Democrat the same pass on that as they give Trump and MAGA.

I am not wild about it...but then again orangeturd will at some point put every dollar going to Cali on hold
 
Act like a normal governor and not someone taking advantage of people’s suffering to so obviously elevate his presidential profile.
So people are suffering now under the Trump administration but no we can't or shouldn't vote for the guy running against the next king of America?
