    if somehow we make it all the way to a free and fair 2028 primary and gavin newsome is the nominee i will be a form of pissed you’ve never witnessed before. that dude is such a fuckin’ unhelpful phonie. out here acting like Abigail Spanberger won Virginia because Virginians wanted neoliberalism. NO! Virginians already hated her when they voted for her, they only voted for her because the options offered were: ICE stays the same, or ICE gets way more violent. USW, UAW, and UMWA all refused to endorse her. Abigail Spanberger won despite not being liked, not because she was liked. but the DNC has refused to learn their lessons and eat their veggies for 18 years now. they took every losing lesson from Obama and jettisoned every winning lesson. ultimately, it comes down to that they are part of the conservative grift machine, but their grift is more subtle. the republican grift is to froth up anger and then demand money to go act on that anger. the democrat grift is to make money off losing.

    it makes me so mad how many democrats are looking at 2025 election results and going “see! we don’t have to be more progressive. we just have to not be donald trump” and it’s like… goddammit, that’s been loser behavior since 2008 when the tea party tranformed the republican party.

    so anyway.

    in summation.

    fuck the liberal excellence brunch crowd. we won’t get out of this thinking the crisis is over unless we get true systemic change, not just small trinkets
