America can't imagine a world in which a rich, straight, white man is not in charge. Newsom, despite the anti Trump trolling the women of color on his team have been doing, has been far to willing to platform bigots, imo. Even if he wasn't, the POC on this list are way more qualified for the job.
"Who do you consider to be the current leader of the Democratic Party?"
Newsom: 22%
Harris: 19%
AOC: 11%
Mamdani: 4%
Unsure: 39%

I wonder if the people who are now realizing that they were wrong about Trump ever stop and think to themselves, "well if I was that wrong about something this important, maybe I'm wrong about everything?"

No face has ever been more eaten by a leopard than MTG face.
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

That "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" shit will have you demanding we campaign for bigots with nazi tattoos. No thank you. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. We should be chasing freedom and justice, not clout and power.
Fucking crazy times calls for crazy actions. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'; in good times this rings hollow....but in extreme times whatever needs to be done to topple the Fascist Supremacists should be done.

@bsdetectorinva.bsky.social When you say "we have to move the politicians" you are correct. Which means it's the people who have the "power." Not the politicians. The people move the dial. Not the politicians. You're making my point for me.
If you are the real Talib Kweli, I respect that you have more power to move politicians to work toward justice than I ever will. As much as you can do, you can’t impeach, convict, remove the president. We have to move the politicians to do that. I know that is just the beginning.

I swore I would never defend Majorie Taylor Greene, ever, but then this nazi pedophile president had to go after her last name, Greene. That crosses the line for me.
Greene is also MY last name. 😡

Never in my life have a voted for someone because they are a politician. Never.
Then why do people vote for them?
Answer: Because they are politicians.
As a former political science major, the statement does not make sense. We set up a political system so that politicians can seek office and run local, state, and federal governments.

@bsdetectorinva.bsky.social WTF is this, Game of Thrones? "Power" is the goal of a capitalist. Justice is the goal of an activist. All power to the people.
You can change the world without power and whether you like them or not the politicians are in power.

I'm far more effective making conscious art. And that's how it's done.
Perhaps you could run for public office yourself and show everyone else how it’s done.

@bsdetectorinva.bsky.social I did. If your driving force for doing the right thing is not kindness, I don't want anything to do with you. I have met necessary activists. I've never seen a "necessary" politician. The rule of law is biased, and it's politicians taking advantage of that.
Who said anything about kindness or creativity? The mechanics of government is manned by politicians. The ordinary work of politicians is necessary in ordinary times. So are mail delivery and sewers. But when the leadership is destroying the law we need something more than politicians.

Ideas that are very wrong are often very popular. This is the problem with just being a politician.
Okay. Of course giving in to popular pressure is the definition of a politician in a democracy. The point is that just doing their job is not enough when the system itself is under attack.

Nah. No "politician" pushed any of these things thru out of the kindness of their heart. You're giving politicians credit that should be going to community activists and working class people.
No policy has ever been perfect but Medicare, Medicaid, social security, environmental regulations, the creation of national parks system, the establishment of public schools, etc are all the result of politicians doing policy. If you want universal healthcare politicians will have to do policy.

There are certainly things I disagree with Kamala Harris about, but I always felt that her public position on Israel was more about her being a loyal VP than about what she really feels. Was she the best overall choice for president? Maybe, maybe not. She would've been WAY better than Trump tho.
