Kelly/AOC ticket would be pretty strong. Newsom is vocal, but might drive more people to the polls just to vote against him.

Newsom has his charisma as a public speaker, but ultimately an establishment dem, not a progressive. Id prefer he not run.

As a Californian, I can only agree. Heās not a popular choice here.

Not really. Whoever does his socials is ok, but hes not that charismatic.

Progress happens achingly slowly. Do we have many progressive county seats? state legislatures?Ā
For republicans to get where they are today it started with operation Redmap to take ahold of local and state legislatures. It took the (billionaire backed) tea party and coordinates efforts to primary and oust anyone who wasnāt toeing the line. That gave rise to MAGA not to mention billionaire funded propaganda machines. We (as a nation, not just progressives) sat on our hands at every turn letting more and more power just get consolidated. Instead of a democrat we could push for progress, we now have an authoritarian that has no issue with killing us asking for the freedoms we once thought we had.
Progressives lack that level of organization and coordination. Itās way harder (but far more authentic) when youāre not being backed by billionaires and massive corporations lending financial and operational support.

Not a fan of his brand of neoliberalism, but I gave up on getting a real progressive not owned by a foreign country I guess.

Everyone responding to you reminds me of the meme that we have to vote for 1933 Hitler because the opposite is 1943 Hitler without realizing that the 33 end up becoming the 43

agree neoliberalism is not what i want either. I also think we have passed the point of trying to appease any version of the gop. I dont care what gop voters think anymore. your gop economic policies suck and your social issues boil down to this: just get involved in everybodys bussiness and scream. I also dont believe in unicorns and would vote for kelly if that was the option.
