      Putin bots are the ones who made Newsom do bad things? Or are they the ones who did the journalism? Or are they they ones who can have a memory beyond 2 weeks?

          So we should support someone who invites fascists to his platform? Or someone who praises Ronald Reagan? Or someone who ignores COVID policies for himself?

      The only people Newsom appeals to are neo-liberals ashamed that Trump won’t keep up appearances and isn’t keeping his criminal imperialism masked in the liberal pageantry that we’ve done for decades or centuries in the US.

      He is courting the right, he made a day to celebrate Ronald Fucking Reagan, jesus christ how loud of a dog-whistle do you all need.

      Tankies are just roleplay kids, they hate everyone who isn’t roleplaying also. Newsom is an actual threat to democracy wrapped in a too-wide smile and promises of a “return to normal.” He would be more dangerous than Trump and he would do his damage behind a facade of national cooperation and stability while empowering the lunatics like Thiel and Musk.

      It’s not just tankies, everyone hates Gavin Newsom, he sucks, if he is picked as a nominee it’s further proof the democratic establishment is hates their base and is throwing the election again. Bluesky is very liberal and not tankie basically at all and even the comments their are nearly entirely shitting on him for his terrible positions and unlikability. https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social/post/3metxjlxwec2d
