I don't have many nice things to say about Newsom but let's not dilute the word fascist into a generic insult eh?

Newsom isn't great but he's leagues ahead of the small fingered vulgarian. I'm not going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. He's going to get my vote if he runs.

Are you a liberal?

If not, why wouldn't you throw your support behind a leftist or progressive candidate at least until the primaries are over? I am 100% for not letting perfect be the enemy of the good, but I am also against letting mediocrity be the enemy of the good.

Because the next step is more important that the perfect step. Sander's and people like him can't win right now. I want to support progress and sometimes that means smaller steps.

Mamdani wins
AOC wins
Sawant wins
Walton wins
Sanders has to have a primary rigged to keep him from winning
Sanders polls better in Red states that Trump and Hillary

Sander's and people like him can't win right now

So, If I am understanding your correctly, you think that if the left rallies behind a progressive/leftists candidate that they might be able to win the primary- but not the general election?

If that is not what you are saying then I don't understand your reply.

I'm not trying to flame you, I am seriously interested in your point of view.
