California’s governor is being touted as a successor to the Biden throne. Though he’s often imagined as a beacon of progress, his feckless record shows otherwise.
He’s taking real action, yes (though not nearly enough), but here’s the thing: He’s not doing this out of the goodness of his heart; it’s an attempt to get support for a 2028 run. And if that happens, and if there’s even a democracy by that point, it will be an unmitigated disaster. Just because he did a good thing once or twice doesn’t mean we should forget who this slimy, homeless-oppressing Charlie Kirk sellout really is.
The people. Frankly electoral democracy in America is already dead and can only be resuscitated via worker action. By the midterms America will have became either a progressive democracy or a fascist dictatorship already, so there’s no point fussing about it right now. If you have the time to do that, organize in your neighborhood or city and get resisting.

Kewl so who else you wanna put up there?
Maybe we can have a valid primary this time and see who’s actually good at it. I know it’s a long shot, but maybe this time they’ll let us.

AOC. Now tell me that women can’t win because you don’t want to run that particular woman.
The DNC def don’t want to run her. She’s another Bernie the exact right person they need but they will pass to avoid losing the centre votes.
