    If they replace Biden I hope to fuck it isn’t with this milquetoast spineless asshat.

    Edit: Damn, I didn’t know Lemmy was so big on Whitmer.

      You should be so lucky as to get the half of a progressive which is Whitmer.

      The establishment is pushing Newsom.

      The smart money is on Andy Beshear.

        Say what you will about Newsom but he’s an effective communicator who understands the issues. He knows how to effectively debate and while that shouldn’t matter we all know it does. His only real liability is that right wing media has convinced Midwestern voters that California is a post apocalyptic hell hole.

          Gavin Newsom is fine, but not nearly as good as Biden or even his predecessor as Governor of CA. Jerry Brown was a much better governor.

          Gavin Newsom will do what voters want, but mainly because it makes him feel powerful. I remember seeing a new statue on Market Street in San Francisco when he was mayor; it had the artist’s name in little tiny letters and “GAVIN NEWSOM” in big letters.
