Hello, fellow leftists.
The current buzz around Gavin Newsom is less than heartening. It might even be disheartening. He is currently being propped up as the neocon answer to Trump’s neonazi regime in a way that’s quite disturbing, if you really think about it. Newsom has, in his tenure, been actively violent toward the unhoused. He has gone on media blitzes focusing on right-wing audiences and has completely bent the knee to podcasters.
PODCASTERS!
The only job more stupid than AI Evangelist. And often, one and the same. He created Ronald Reagan Day to celebrate AIDS and racism, one would have to assume. The only other reason would be pandering… and he’d never do that, right?
The thought that the left needs to court the right is basically madness. The left outnumbers the right by a large margin. Large in an election sense, anyway. The people who never vote will continue to never vote as that’s sort of their thing. The Ken Bones of the world will continue to pretend to be undecided to get their special attention and will proudly call themselves non-political on Fortnite while making racist and sexist and anti-trans jokes so they can claim victimhood if called out, but what they will never do is engage in a meaningful way with politics (until they have no choice). You CAN’T WIN THAT DEMOGRAPHIC. But the lie has always been that they are a secret source of votes, just under the ice, ready to harvest.
The fact that a billionaire-appeasing tech prick is leading that charge is not surprising. It’s the same mentality that has Elon “I use my kid as a human shield” Musk crowing about terraforming Mars instead of using 1/1000th of the required money and resources to work on terraforming EARTH. We’re right here. It’s so much easier (comparatively speaking, we’re still fucked) to return an already habitable planet into a more habitable one. But it’s not as neat sounding to your rabid, uneducated board or your diamond-hand, ape buying, fiat currency loving shareholders. Musk will never do anything. Everything will continue to be 10 years away. And Newsom loves that mentality. The problems are here, please give us money, no we won’t be solving them.
So, DNC, no. I will not vote for your bullshit, also-ran, Reagan homunculus with a rainbow flag pin. I will not vote for your trans-hating, poor-hating, billionaire-stanning Gob Bluth.
Eat a bag of hammers, you utter limp fishsticks.
