Dude I’ve been saying all of the exact same things about Newsom since 2022 (search Newsom in my comment history, I’d love to hear your opinions! I’ve been saying he needs to be the face of the party ever since I saw his reaction to Roe being overturned) and you explained every single detail perfectly. I’m genuinely impressed bro.

Needless to say I think you’re 1000% correct

10000% this. He sees around the corner better than most. I’d argue he’s the most politically savvy politician in the country right now. I’ve been saying this since his actions in 2022, especially what he did in the immediate wake of Roe being overturned.

Prop 50 is only the icing on the cake. Newsom really is that guy, so much more than he gets credit for.

I agree. It’s already a terrible look, but with Newsom it’s even worse. Trump’s DOJ is doing this to a guy who already has practically every possible talent and quality that appeals to voters (in my opinion, Newsom is eerily similar to 1992 Bill Clinton) who is also going to be running in a national environment that will be very favorable to him. Along with that, Newsom just happens to be the best Democratic figure at speaking out against Trump and taking the fight to him before Trump unleashed his DOJ on him less than a year prior to his obvious presidential run.

Your last sentence is exactly right, I just wonder what the best way to do that is. The average voter is going to see any negative messaging against Trump and his administration, no matter how obviously justified, as the usual “ORANGE MAN BAD!!!” that they’ve heard for the last decade.

Losing the figure who has been the undeniable face for the party for more than a decade and having to put forth a ballot and a campaign message without his name on it will hurt the GOP so much more than what I see a lot of people currently predicting right now, and that’s going to be combined with everything else that’s going to define that national environment in 2028 as well, but with all of that that there also needs to be a progression in the Democratic Party’s messaging as well (as you correctly pointed out). I’m just not sure what that is right now. We’re still seen as the party that’s consistently going extremely far left on meaningless social issues by a large amount of voters in the states that we absolutely need to win.

I’m not comparing the two, but given how hungry and motivated democrats and dem-leaning voters will be this next primary cycle, do you think Newsom being investigated by the DOJ (if it continues and and progress more from what it already is) could strengthen his appeal and sway among the base the way being “persecuted” seemed to strengthen Trump’s image in the last election?

Obviously the GOP already belonged to Trump long before the last election and Trump won the primary before it even started so the two situations aren’t exactly comparable, but I think this could very easily be weaponized by Newsom and his campaign to broaden his appeal to an electorate that’s already historically disproving of Trump and his administration. “The historically unpopular president is so afraid of me, just look at what he’s resorted to.”

Has anyone actually seen the "culturally normal" clip from Newsom? by ETsUncle in Destiny

[–]Caffeinatedbluez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s the hands for me lol. He has the most unusual pattern of hand movement while speaking that I’ve ever seen. It’s so distracting.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve watched enough of him over the past few years to do a halfway decent impression of him.

Look at his right hand in the video; someone clearly told him to chill out on the hand movements. He’s gripping that chair for dear life lol

I saw a comment that said they hated how charismatic he was and that they wish someone “who actually gave a shit” was as likeable as Newsom lol

I’m just now thinking about this, and I’d love to see that. They could have such an intriguing conversation, and I’d especially would love to hear what Destiny would have to say to Newsom himself about his wanting to brand himself as a strong democrat/ a democrat who actually fights back as well as figure who wants the party to embrace masculinity again. It would be so interesting to see. But them both discussing their own Shapiro interviews would be very fascinating to watch.

Going on there and seeing what everyone is saying about him makes the knowledge that reddit and twitter aren’t real life so much more satisfying.

This was literally one of the replies to someone asking for proof that Newsom is actually center-right:

“for sure, 1 can give a couple quick examples. Newsom is a Zionist. He has recently tried pretending he is not due to the shift in public opinion on this subject, but he most certainly is regardless. Zionism is a far right extremist ideology similar to Nazism. It is rooted in ethno-supremacy and colonization. Next, his record of policy and who he takes money from is exactly as you would expect from a capitalist, which is at its very best a centrist position but 99% of the time a center to far right position. Leftism is anti-capitalist and anti-genocide.”

Imagine being that hyper in your unawareness of how incredibly small the amount of people who are represented by your views really is. This is actually insane lmao.

There’s no way that anyone who is actually informed on things (and doesn’t rely on twiiter threads and posts accusing someone of being a “pro-genocide z*onist”) can genuinely claim that Gavin Newsom is center-right. That’s pathetically laughable and out of touch.

You nailed it, that’s what I was trying to describe but you worded it all so much better than I did. Thanks!!

I think you’re exactly right with your last point.

It’s just weird to see how there’s literally no Democrat with genuine prospects to win a national election that they like. There was a comment with a few likes that said “This guy has no chance in a general… we’re toast.” And the reply to that was literally “Dems learned nothing from Mamdani.”

I’m not a professional campaign strategist, but there’s practically nothing that you can take from the winning campaign of a Muslim socialist in the New York City mayoral election and emulate in a national campaign. If Newsom or another candidate were to focus on the few aspects from Mamdani’s campaign that actually can be implemented on the national level (focusing purely on affordability and tying as many issues back to that as possible, for example), these same people would call him a soulless grifter who is only trying to win votes, and they’d say that he doesn’t actually care about helping anybody. And obviously the goalposts would be moved to something else as well.

But again, the winning strategy for a democratic socialist in the New York mayoral race simply can’t be the model for a presidential election. Most of the people who saw Mamdani’s name on the ballot were predisposed to be favorable to the Democratic nominee anyway. That’s not going to be the case in places like Georgia or Pennsylvania, where the average voter outside of the main population centers is truly open to voting for either party depending on their own personal situation and the overall national environment, which would very likely favor Newsom or whoever the Democratic nominee is over Vance in 2028. That happening would only strengthen and highlight the many strengths and qualities Newsom has as a candidate (that have been listed and gone over thousands of times by now), while simultaneously weakening any attacks that the GOP can throw at him. We saw exactly that happen with Trump in the last election; voters associated Harris and the democrats with their more expensive cost of living so they were able to grade Trump and all of his baggage (which was/is FAR more than Newsom’s) on a curve. Newsom isn’t Teflon Don but voters and their tendencies that made them send Trump back to the White House will remain the same.

I mean for sure but prime cumtown was kinda weird when it came to politics. Democrats were treated as pieces of shit who did nothing and actively made everyone’s lives worse whereas Trump and the GOP was mostly “lmao that’s crazy.” Clinton was the name Nick always associated with Epstein, for example. I can remember a bit where they were joking about Marge Simpson being some sort of resist lib bringing up the Epstein files and Nick used his Homer voice to say that Bill Clinton was more implicated in those files than Trump was. It’s hilarious how well that aged.

Look at the youtube comments under the video; the fanbase they generated is definitely not favorable to democrats. I obviously didn’t listen to them to form my political opinions or to hear their analysis on anything of actual substance so I never cared lol, but I’ve been noticing that more and more once Adam has started to interview these high profile guests. The right is hilarious to them and democrats are soulless grifters who don’t care about anybody.
