    This guy gets it. Speaking as a Californian, this is exactly, precisely what’s happening. I don’t use this term a lot because it resurfaces trauma of not realizing I was posting in a thread on Hexbear, but Newsom is straight up the textbook definition of a shitlib. He’s always kinda been a shitlib, with a ratio of one kinda okay decision to like four disappointing, mediocre, and shitty decisions that make the wealthy and corporate donors happy. Now that he sees a path to the presidency laid bare, he’s fully embracing his shitlib instincts. Please, for the love of Buddha, don’t vote for him in the primary.

      As though primary votes matter. The party successfully argued in court that they don’t.

        You can always count on Ensign_Crab to twist the knife one last time. Gotta make sure they’re demoralized.

            Ah yes I want the problem to persist so things can get even worse in the place I live, that makes total sense.

              Then don’t get mad when people talk about how it’s a problem when democrats don’t run honest primaries, when they deign to run them at all.

                They’ll get mad at you and me for pointing out actions with our words, but treat their words as gospel and their actions as things that just naturally occurred without any motive behind them.

                Energy single time someone does this, I just block them. If they want to defend the party that sold us all out 3 times in a row, they can donate to the next fundraiser.

                  You lost the plot a long time ago. We’re talking about how shitty the party is and Gavin Newsom is specifically. You have an interesting interpretation of the conversation.

                  It’s cute you think the party has only sold you out 3 times though.

                When did I do that?

                How about you don’t jump in to demoralize every chance you get. Try to come up with solutions and ways forward. We all know things are fucked we’re just not apathetic whiners who see no way out and want to spread our apathy to others.

                  I’m pointing out the first significant hurdle that needs to be overcome if we want to change anything.

                  You’re just mad because you don’t want that problem solved.

                    No you’re not, you’re just complaining. If there were anything actionable or useful in your comments I wouldn’t have responded to you.

                    But again, why do you think I don’t want “that problem” solved. It would benefit me for it to be solved.
