    This post was reported. The reason given:

    OP’s title isn’t good faith argumentation as per the rules. It’s an inappropriate and absurd reference to dementia

    Many professionals have noted that Trump has shown multiple signs of dementia. This means that while it may not be completely accurate, the headline doesn’t appear to be in bad faith.

    Leaving it up.

      Well the stupid thing about it is, is that California voted to do away with partisan gerrymandering. So I don’t know how the hell Newsom is going to gerrymander California in response to what’s going on in Texas.

        Bipartisan gerrymandering exclusively hurts Republicans.

        If the land or populations were just cut up in a grid the Republicans would never win anything again.

        Literally just draw horizontal lines through the state.

        The coasts would make it so not a single district is red.

      I agree, and I lived in CA while this twat was picking up signs and pretending to care about union workers.

      … and I’d still vote Newsom over Trump, with a song on my lips

      Newsom is ambitious, self-serving, Randian, right-wing neoliberal scum. However, I would still pick him over the murderous criminal totalitarian child rapists currently running the US.

      “Newsome’s press staffer sent a funny tweet. I guess that makes up for him creating a platform to shit on trans people with right wing monsters, saying that Dems should ignore Trump sending innocent people to an El Salvador gulag because the issue is a political loser, and years of shit policies”

      The reason Dems lose is because they don’t ever actually do anything. A tweet is not an action. It’s performative bullshit.

      So, hehe funny tweet. But also, fuck newsome, do something.

        He’s threatening to redistrict California in response to Republican Leaders gerrymandering Texas

        He states he has found a way to gerrymander California to eliminate 5 Republican seats whilest abiding by the Voting Rights Act

        He has held multiple press conferences and public appearances drawing attention to this

        This tweet is about - and part of - this effort to draw national attention to gerrymandering

        It’s too soon to say if he’ll follow through with his threat, but he’s done a lot.

        I don’t like Newsome, but respect this - don’t just shit on it. This is the action you’re asking for

          Newsome has to get the legislature to put it on the ballot, Californians have to approve it. The nonpartisan redistricting commission was created by referendum and can only be changed by referendum. It’s good that he’s supporting the initiative and pushing it. Pat on the head for that.

          But you ever noticed Newsome doesn’t fight for shit unless it personally affects him? Round up immigrants and send them to El Salvador? Newsome doesn’t want to even talk about that cause he thinks it’s a political loser for him personally. Trans kids being discriminated in sports? Newsome thinks he’d do better in a presidential election if he’s a little bigoted since Kamela got hit on the issue, so fuck trans kids. Trump rounding up immigrants in LA, big meh from newsome. However, Trump takes over Newsome’s national guard, now newsome is ready to fight. Republicans rigging the House which could mean a president Newsome would have to deal with a Republican house, now he’s going to the mat.

          So yeah, glad Newsome is doing a thing for once (or more accurately supporting the citizens being able to do the thing), but he’s still a piece of shit.

        I kind of cringe everytime someone goes off about some dumbass purity test for AOC. Like one of the most, if not the most, progressive politicians of my lifetime and jokers want to get mad at her because this one time she wasn’t progressive enough. Like how the fuck do people think you push politics in general to the left? By electing some middling democrat, or even a republican, because the progressive candidate wasn’t progressive enough? How does that make any fucking sense?

          I am convinced that at least some of that is from her competition in her own party who lean further right and republicans. Best time for a coward to attack is when your opponent is already down

            Go read what she voted for and not just news articles trying to make some purity fight on the left. Propaganda is working on you. Go look at her choices for the whole bill and see what actually happened. Rather than taking the headlines and people crying. Cause you cry about AOC but show me someone in America LEADIng better than her. Don’t get me wrong she isn’t perfect but if you can’t play chess and understand the value of all the pieces you should stick to checkers so you understand blue is your team and is better than red who is your opponent.

                First presidential I voted in Dennis Kussinich was the progressive candidate.

                AOC is the cream compared to the past… Always.

        Yknow, begs the question who the real favorite governor is. I’m guessing Walz, given national spotlight, but who else?

          Not the current governor, but I bet Mitt Romney could be a good contender considering he was the Republican governor of deep blue Massachusetts, who elected him twice for his policies that were so well received that Republicans blamed Obama for his healthcare system.

          When Obamacare went into effect, it didn’t happen in Massachusetts because Mass already had a (better) version of it.

          Does anyone even know who the governor of any state that isn’t California, New York, Texas, Florida, or the one they live in is? Aside from Walz, of course.

          Pritzker (IL) is probably up there along with Mills (ME), both have also made stands against trump.
