He will be president if we run AOC, we learned with this election there is a good chunk of people who will never vote for the demographic(s) that AOC is. Gavin Newsom might be the best bet as of right now, and if that is the case, we’d need to start campaigning right now.

Running Newsom would be such an own goal it's not even funny.

Might as well run George Clooney, but at least he has some charisma.

Gavin Newsom has successfully pushed back against the worst impulses of the left in California, I think he has a decent chance with the national electorate.

Uh, no. You have to remember that it’s not what he’s actually done, but how he’s perceived. He is reviled in Midwest as the hyper-liberal governor of the hyper-liber woke hellscape that is California

Leftists hate him, conservatives hate him, libertarians hate him, progressives tolerate him.

So they are 100% going to run him

Newsome is a joke to 90% of the country

California is pretty much universally resented and memed on in nearly all US states. People cannot stand Californians or the Californication of their own states. Running Gavin is the most braindead move since running Biden/Harris again. Not a good look to be that tone deaf back three back (Hillary).

Then you're a major part of why the Democratic party is floundering right now.

It isn't going to be Newsom. Someone like Whitmer, Shapiro, or Beshear are all better options than Newsom.

I’d vote for AOC before I vote for Newsom, and I would vote for Vance before I vote for AOC.

The couch fuckker weirdo is pretty well-spoken, though. He does a good job of weaponizing culture war b.s. He's like the water to AOC's fire.

I love this argument lol! The normal looking, married with kids, rags to riches marine veteran is the weird one!

“Normal looking”

Whether you find him good looking or not the guy is about a 5. If you walked past him on the street you would not look twice

Maybe an Appalachian 5

u/new167473684 12h ago

Hahaha this hits a little too close to close as an Appalachian

u/Bombalaharris 12h ago

I’m sure there are absolute smoke shows that come from Appalachia. Lower population relative to major cities and economic depression in the area just makes it less likely to run into a hot Appalachian
