Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can you guys who don't like the idea elaborate?
I've seen Newsome as generally a good leader. He did fuch up a few times with treating the homeless. However, here is why I would vote for the guy:
1)Better than a rotten sack of potatoes. 2)Does talk and move like a real person. 3)Has generally improved California... And here's the thing Republicans might like, there are still poor people in California and they're mostly brown! Don't you guys want that? 4)He helped the California economy grow during a tough time and did not bankrupt a casino in Las Vegas!
That said I would vote AOC at the drop of a hat because she's a woman and I want a first woman president to happen. Additionally, she's smart and has been on the side of the people. As an example she has not shot any of her dogs. Bernie, who I would also love as president, even now, supports her. AOC is a name all are familiar with. But perhaps we need to compromise so we can get the lunatics out...how about another sane white guy? I know a couple of white people in my community, I'm sure many of us know a white guy or two. Whoever it is, we need to figure it out soon so that we all vote for just that one gu....oh right, we don't have a say in the presidential election. I forgot that its actually a bunch of randoes who vote for us...we're totally unsmart regarding this way of electing.
Honey! You want pizza or pad Thai? Tell these 50 rando people what you want and they will certainly get you what you want after they vote for it. Don't worry, they're on your side! In the history of us being married they've chosen almost always exactly as most of us would have chosen our beans! So they're perfect! Here are your beans.
Yeah I'm gonna need a higher bar than not potatoes. I don't know how many times I can be expected to vote for "barely not a republican" consecutively but we've definitely passed that point. Clearly voting for the candidate that's a Democrat and slightly better than potatoes hadn't worked... like at all. I'm so tired of "Vote Blue No Matter Who (unless the blue candidate is to the left of Schumer and co. then they're basically Hamas)"
I have the opposite problem. But I won't state it. I don't want to give ideas to the you know who people.
