    Well, history has shown that your fellow Americans do not agree with you. There is plenty of time to find a candidate that will actually be popular with voters

      History actually shows that crying “that candidate isn’t progressive enough” ends in actual fascism.

        I suppose in the same way that tornado sirens always ends in a tornado tearing through a trailer park. But I’m sure that this centrist liberal will finally be the one to beat fascism

        Exactly.

        Progressives should learn their place and do what they’re told.

        It’s not like there’s enough of us to change things.

            What’s anti-Newsom about getting progressives ready to hold their nose as usual?

            Besides, he’s not even the nominee and maybe making him look bad will get some other liberal the win.

              Congrats, you’ve fallen into the divided party trap. Or is the trap what you’re actually pushing?

                I’ve been at that party since I had a Kucinich for President bumper sticker and made a deal with someone in a blue state to vote for Nader.

                I hate that I have to be a Democrat and don’t want to be one. But I have to be otherwise I can’t make my displeasure known in the primaries.

                  Cool. We’re at the I’m more progressive/democrat/socialist than you phase of the argument.

            Who benefits from this anti-Newsom rhetoric?

            People with the ability to reason, and if we have a primary, to choose the best candidate.
