Only for slavery.
*and controlling women & minorities
Yes that's what they said
MAGA only believes in states' rights to deny people's rights.
Only when republicans are not in control federally. It's so obviously, I cannot fathom how democrats have failed so damned hard.

They didn't fail. They succeeded at what they were paid to do. Democrats are garbage and so is everyone who makes excuses for them.
All turmp does is push grift and corruption. He wants to consolidate complete authority under him, the exact situation the founding fathers built the framework of power to explicitly prevent. Americans are eager to destroy the legacy of America.
Americans are eager to destroy the legacy of America.
Not all Americans, just the most stupid ones, and their evil manipulators. Right now we are in the grips of traitors who want to exploit America to death, but they do not represent the majority of Americans.
Watching from a distance while it gets destroyed is not any better.
The legacy of America has always been genocide, fascism, greed, and domination with a thick smear of propaganda over everything.
It has never been only the unpleasant stuff, that's your cynical choice to focus on. The fundamental framework of power and adherence eto democratic ideals is a unique political and social achievement, it is not just propaganda.
Remember kids. Executive orders are not laws.
We need to stop plastering this guy's name over everything.
He's trying to stay as relevant as possible so that useful idiots vote for him over AOC in 2028.
Do not fall prey.
There should be posters everywhere reading "KICK A HOBO FOR NEWSOM!"
He's a Feinstein protege and a nasty pro-corporate turd.
As a certified Newsom hater, I approve this message
This is exactly what I've been thinking. He wants to keep his name in the news. He's not who we need, but I appreciate that he has teeth.
Back during Sanders' campaign, there was so much momentum, but he was blackballed from coverage. All of sudden, media was telling everybody that Biden was the top candidate. Tf!? Nobody was talking about Biden being a serious candidate until it looked like there was no choice. He was a fucking joke as a VP.
Newsom is starting early, and yeah sure, he's leagues better than what we have now (as president,) but come on, he's still a shit candidate. Almost anyone is going to look appealing compared to our current president. Let's not go for the loudest son of a bitch just because he's loud. Let's not box ourselves in this early by the "we need to rally around the strongest option" argument. We've got another three years of eating this shit sandwich. There are so many better options than Newsom. Buttigieg, maybe AOC, let's see how this shakes out. But come on, Newsom? Really?
Asking in good faith, will a Newsom supporter explain why he might be the best option over others? I'll honestly keep an open mind and ask questions to learn.
he’s leagues better than what we have now
In the same way that the clap is leagues better than ass cancer.
Technically the truth!
they are afraid of another NYC situation in the presidential elections. more than likely they will try to work with the gop to sabotage another more left than gavin" candidate if they cant do it themselves.
Good luck finding an actual Newsome supporter. I live in CA, and voted Newsome. The thing is, I only voted Newsome in the General. I don't remember who I voted for in the primary, doesn't matter. They didn't win.
As far as I can tell, from talking with people, that's how Newsome got all his votes. I'm sure someone out there actually likes him, but I've yet to meet them.
Same could be said for lying Todd Gloria, who ran on housing first policies, and just rounded up and jailed all the homeless people in San Diego
It's America, we're not going to elect a female president because a third of the country is sexist and another third doesn't realize they're sexist.
This talking point is used exclusively by people who are happy to hold all women back if it means preventing one particular woman from running.
Newsom is the capitalist governor in charge of the techbro state, there’s no way he regulates AI effectively.
Bu, bu, bu, but states rights!
