    If Newsome ran on Bernie’s platform it’s probably a landslide.

    If Newsom had Sanders’ platform, not only would he not be Newsom, he wouldn’t be the democratic darling.

    AOC is supremely charismatic, and so is Sanders. Democrats keep them on short leashes because they’re popular, and because they’d completely ruin the democratic fundraising platform. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

      Yeah no shit but I’d rather vote for slow progress than deal with the rapid decline of social and economic freedom under Republican rule. Railing against Democrats like Newsome especially after primaries happen is fucking foolish.
