President Joe Biden is dropping out of the 2024 race following a disastrous debate with Republican Donald Trump, throwing the Democratic Party into chaos just months before the election.
I’m hoping they do. I want people to talk about how we need a charismatic non-octogenarian in the president spot and someone very popular in the VP spot.
It’s disingenuous to say Newsom is only known in one state. He’s the governor of a highly populous state who has already explored a presidential run. That’s essentially equivalent to saying that Abbott or DeSantis aren’t nationally relevant. Disliking the idea of that being the ticket that the Democrats trot out is one thing, I’m certainly not on board with it either. Dismissing it on a false premise is something else altogether, and it’s not a helpful narrative.
I respect that perspective but Desantis did fail miserably. As far as a larger opinion, refer to my response to morph in this thread. Yes, California is a different league of gubernatorial duties. He has the juice but my gut says he doesn’t have the household name recognition and can’t build that in three months.
With a two year lead for campaigning and news coverage to become a household name. I actually like Newsom and California is as good as a test for executive leadership as anything else a politician can do but this timing is not good for him to actually win.
No offense at your choice, but there’s not many Californians (47% disapproval rate by last Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll), who like Gavin enough to vote for him. He’s a mouthpiece and a showman for sure, but he’s useless when it comes to getting anything done.

pov: you’ve never heard of kerning
That’s definitely an important thing to focus on here.
given that it’s obviously a joke, i thought a little razzing was appropriate.
Thanks for the feedback, fixed!
oh god no. someone might take it seriously.

how about AOC Fetterman?
Fetterman shifted significantly to the right after his stroke. He’s tainted goods.
I think AOC is great, but I don’t think she would win the general this year. A future year, sure.
he reaches across the aisle. i’m not going to vote forhim (again) for senator but i would vote for aoc for president.
It’s called tracking when you refer to the vertical spacing. That’s what stands out to me as not so good.
they fixed the AV kerning
A politician who’s only really known in one state and another octogenarian? No thank you.

Are you kidding me? Fox news screeches about Newsom all the time.
Most politicians start off known in one state…
