How the fuck is Newsom at +30? He's so obviously a fraud and an opportunist.

The average person is not politically engaged. They literally don't hear at least half the stuff we hear. The candidate to resonate with them is the one who has a clear message that gets repeated...

Newsome being +30 is why California Dems can never be taken seriously as progressives ever again.

keep on with that purity test infighting/division shit and maybe we’ll see Eric Trump president in 2028

It’s not a purity test. It would just be nice if the party that is supposed to support leftist policies were actually leftists who supported actual leftist policies

Let me guess, AOC and Bernie are divisive whenever they call for universal programs to be funded by taxing billionaires out of existence.

Electing a right wing populist that thinks immigrants are leeches and should be deported in order to defeat Trump seems self defeating, but I guess Dems know best and we should all vote blue no matter who regardless of if their policies are straight out of w bush's wet dreams.

you’re so deep in your rhetoric that I have no idea who you are referring to.

Are you saying Kamala Harris is supposed to be “a right wing populist that thinks immigrants are leeches and should be deported” ?

Because that’s ridiculous, and we need to unify and act to produce better and achievable results and avoid the disastrous result. That’s real-world ethics.

This was a discussion of newsom, who is a right wing populist, who has agreed with illegal immigration rhetoric during both trump terms now.

So keep up, if you're going to act like a silly willy.

  1. 4,100 sample size is like 4x necessary even when polling every American, this is a huge sample size.

  2. AOC beating Harris right after Harris ran a billion plus dollar campaign (still not sure what that was spent on) is also huge.

  3. AOC and Bernie just held the largest political rally in Iowa since 08 Obama.

Ken Martin isn't going to play favorites, I'm almost certain at this point it's going to be AOC. And she's going to raise a lot of progressive votes across all the primaries since it'll likely go to the end.

There's a lot of reasons to be negative these days, but there's also reasons to think we're going to actually see FDR 2.0 like we thought we were going to in 08.

Can't wait for it to somehow be Fetterman...
