I deeply fucking hope the DNC doesn’t tap him like they tapped Hillary and Biden. Newsom is a corporatist neoliberal who’s simply opportunistically bandwagoning on public hostility towards orangeboi.
Unfortunately, those are all positives to the DNC.
For the DNC ticket it's going to be Newsom, Harris and like, one candidate we actually like who won't make it past primaries because the system isn't designed for radical change.
What sucks about this is I've seen it play out so many times before that I already know that when the populist/socialist doesn't make it past the primaries, progressives everywhere will balk and choke and say "Well there's no WAY i'm voting for any of the people still on the ticket. The DNC is corrupt, my vote doesn't matter."
And then the bar slides further right.
Every time they break our hearts, and we respond like they predict, they get to slide the bar closer to fascism and authoritarianism. Which is what capital wants. Both republicans and democrats are servants of capital and we don't defeat capital with some idealistic notions of revolution or uprising. Shake that fantasy out of your head. We have to start pushing the needle back to the left, and sure that means making shitty choices at the presidental elections, but it also means shaking off your introversion and asocial habits and going out and helping your local community and town/state elections so that we can cut the foundations out from under this mess. We can still turn it around but you're really not going to be happy with the timespans involved in doing so.
You're not going to see the Star Trek post-scarcity future. I'm sorry. Now start doing the fucking work to make it so your grandkids or grandroids will see that future.
