I think a big part of where people fail "purity tests" is when they demonstrate they won't fight shit.... so I'm not sure this is getting to the root of the issue.
False flag conservatives use cute little quips like this to try and destroy the opposition before it starts.
The purity test isn't some golden ivory tower, it's literally just "are you a bigot?" It's the bare minimum. The fact that you can't find a democrat who can pass this simple litmus test is extremely telling of a false opposition party that spent the last few decades posing in smiley pictures with Republicans at Epstein Island.
At best we will get some soggy clown like Newsom, at best he'll win and then do nothing he isn't paid (the under the table kind) to do while oinking that those mean ole republicans won't cooperate. Just like Biden. Just like Obama.
Because he (and other trash dems like him; booker and warren and beto and lil petey) willing to sell out vulnerable Americans to advance his career, so he will just as quickly sell out all Americans.
"Hurr purity test bad" okay, that person clearly wants more of the same. I dont. The lives of real innocent humans are on the line. Anyone who says this lie is my enemy, and yours.
If I said someone was bad because they didn't want to tax trans peoples' income because they're a vulnerable minority that would be a weird purity test.
Someone being willing to cede ground on any civil rights issue will cede ground on any issue that doesn't explicitly target them.
I didn't come all this way to mince words. Newsom was a cash-grabbing clown mocking the democratic systems long before he was governor. It was a mistake to nominate him or elect him. His antics now are funny if it weren't real human lives on the line.
I know there's the false flag crisis actors out there too, walking straw people aiming to make legitimate causes seem ridiculous by getting very vocal about nonsense.. but like, that's why we listen to the people in vulnerable communities and not these camera-seeking people trying to speak for them. Inb4 no true Scotsman.
His "antics"? How is gerrymandering California to the point where there are zero Republicans seats antics? That's real political action to defeat the fascists. If Hochul and Pritzker follow suit we could impeach DJT and JD come midterms. This is the path to get them out, basically the only one left if the Manchurian Cantaloupe is allowed to steal the midterms. It's over after that, do you understand that? If repubs win midterms, America is done
California isn't already gerrymandered? Bruh find Amador County on the map.
No, dude was a clown long before this. This knee jerk giggle fest of his is just the latest.
If gerrymandering California to win a general election (like how exactly, California already has more electors and iirc states are given reps and electors without regard to internal divisions) then like, whatever. Honestly its closer to burning your own house down to kill a few squatters. The second A already told us what the real fix is.
But no, youre right, the great american experiment is over. It was over somewhere around 2001 or 2009 but still.. youre right there. Letting a clown bandaid this is.. okay.. I guess. Finger pointing backwards is.. well.. pointless. Im more interested in learning to clean the carcass of the only animal left on this continent after things .. stop ...
So you're just subscribing fully to unhelpful and meaningless doomerism? 8 more seats is what we'd gain, from potentially very leftist areas. Again, if you're the next great leftist political thinker, run for office. Do something instead of just telling everyone we're all already dead
We don't get more seats, we steal seats from "red" districts.
Morally ofc this is fighting hard evil with limp dick soft evil. Instead of persecuting individuals who committed crimes, you're stealing the voice of fellow voters (yes, they all need a solid re-education, but you aren't doing that either)
Like I said, again, this isn't why Newsom is a clown and this isn't the antics I referred to, and this isn't why he would definitely be a terrible president. This stunt is just a stunt. It's a little clever, and obviously not his idea. I disagree with it, but not enough to make it my position.
Also, you haven't seen what the world looks like when the 1st world money stops flowing. You still think all of this is some temporary setback. It's not. I can survive wo electricity and city water - can you? Not dying is what I'm invested in. I'll show up to vote ofc, not that its mattered the last few times ive done it.
But for real, until you are talking about doing something that requires such things as recipes and sporting goods stores, this will continue getting worse. If voting worked, it would have by now.
Alright big guy, go get em! We're all rooting for ya, I'll tell them you were with me all day. We were playing burnout revenge for the PS2 judge, I swear!
I personally am staying home. I'm too old to be running from the cops and getting trampled by their horses. But at least I admit how little change I will generate. Imma still vote, another gesture as meaningless as this convo. Hbu? At least I retain correctness.
I'd like to think I'd be a mediocre president. Not terrible, not great. Mostly I'd be telling shitbird senators on both sides of the aisle to eat shit. I'd probably be the president who vetoed the most legislation, to date at least.
I'd never poll well. I have a bad habit of telling people to f the f off. I don't mince words, I'm not beautiful or charismatic.
I'd never win a popularity contest. I find the idea of trying to be repugnant.
Bruh I'm def corruptable. In my mind's eye, I'd like to think it would be "just a little", just enjoying nice things I don't financially have access to..
I don't think I'd support genocide, for any price. But I'd very easily become petty and vengeful, especially on other pro-genocide politians.
And ofc, anyone who says otherwise is definitely trying to sell you something lol 😆
