“Moderate” Democrats sure love being on their knees.

    If he runs for president, he should run as a republican. At least he can pull the overturn window towards the center more.

      He’s going to be out in front with every national media apparatus screaming “Electable” and “Do you want another four years of Trump?”

      No idea if he can win, but he’s got all the right friends to make it happen. A real Hillary Campaign for 2028.

        “Do you want another four years of Trump?”

        This presupposes a term-limited Trump would be on the ballot anyway. Yes, the anti-American traitors are trying to make that happen, but that doesn’t mean we should help them normalize it!

        If trump stays past his term I don’t think it’s due to elections. Like you’re not only suggesting that he will be on the ballot, but also Democrats will be cool with it?

        Can you just be honest and say you’re a fascist please? I’m so fucking sick of people twisting into any shape to say Democrats are essentially worse than Republicans.

    “Regrets” his words after AIPAC privately showed him how easily they could crush him politically if he didn’t change course.

    This is what he felt the need to apologize for:

    “A lot of Democrats have looked at the Netanyahu regime and felt like, you know what, we don’t like his trajectory; that it’s time to rethink the U.S. relationship with Israel, especially military support,” Vietor said.

    Newsom responded:

    “The issue of Bibi (Netanyahu) is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues. He’s trying to stay out of jail. He’s got an election coming up. He’s potentially on the ropes. He’s got folks, the hard line, that want to annex the West Bank. Friedman and others are talking about it appropriately as sort of an apartheid state.”

    Co-host Jon Favreau then pressed him directly:

    “Do you think, looking down the road, that the United States should consider maybe rethinking our military support for Israel?”

    Newsom answered:

    “It breaks my heart, because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path where I don’t think you have a choice but that consideration.”

    He’s not even allowed to say that some day things might hypothetically get bad enough where they may need to consider not funding Israels genocides with a blank check…

    He shouldn’t hold any sort of political office.

    Unless his reasoning is that it was just apartheid before and is full blown genocide now, he’s wrong. They’ve been running on apartheid my entire life.

    Seems like timing is a bit early to move to “center” for the general, Gavin, seeing as how we haven’t had 2028 presidential election primaries yet.
