What I said doesnt fall into ridiculous hyperbole and you seem to agree by saying that Newsom is inviting the very kind of wedge issue psyop I was criticizing. Look, Im not saying dont criticize Newsom. By all means, criticize the shit out of him. Ill reiterate again, I wont be supporting Newsom in the primary. But my point is once the primary is over, dont cry foul and hand over even more power to the fascist thugs tearing this country apart. The fact is, youre not going to get a candidate who checks all the boxes. They are going to have flaws. Those flaws will pale in comparison to what the right is offering by many orders of magnitude – guaranteed. But if the moderates fold their arms and take their ball home because someone too far left wins the primary, or Vice versa, we are doomed to more of what weve been getting so far. Make your case during the primary, but god dammit, show up in the general so we can stop kidnapping people off of the streets and sending them to foreign prisons, and stop robbing the poor of whatever social safety nets they have left, if any, to give welfare to the billionaires, etc etc.
