    This is who American Liberals think should be in the running for the next D president.

    Might as well drop the mask entirely and proclaim a national Hitler day.

    Haha, fuckin hilarious. I’m gonna proclaim February 6th as Margaret Thatcher Day too.

    That’ll give us a year to really prepare for next year’s Margaret Thatcher Day.

    What should be some of the hall marks of Margaret Thatcher Day? What should go on the bunting and balloons? What sort of foods should we encourage people to make for the street parties?

      Um Ackshually, they proclaimed Feb 6 as Ronald Reagan day because that was his birthday, and he used to be Governor of California, so there’s at least a connection there. Thatcher’s day would probably be October 13th.

    So we’re sticking with the “trying to win over conservatives” angle instead of moving even a millimeter to the left? 2028 election might as well be cancelled as trump is promising, because this asshole is not the solution and only stands to forestall the inevitable fall plunge we’re taking as a nation.

      Newsom is not a good dude. It’s just that the bar is so fucking low in US politics these days, there are a lot of people who look at him and think he’s not half bad. But make no mistake - he’s a neoliberal corporatist, and is lately trying to ham-fistedly lean into populism. Huge “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.
