In March of 2023, I started posting on Twitter that Gavin Newsom should have been our nominee.

I was shouted down because Biden was “doing such a great job,” and he deserved to be the nominee, and …reasons.

But I was not wrong.

And our mistake cost us our democracy.

Here’s the truth. If Kamala was white and male she would have won.

No post mortem assessment is going to convince me otherwise.

I'm not sure that any Dem could have won in 107 days after their hail-Mary pass to swap candidates from Biden to Kamala. It smelled of dirty tricks and was a shitshow to voters.

I understand your point, what’s done is done

I'm spending the next 4 years ignoring trump and concentrating on who will be the next President. Newsom is a good choice. Maybe Pritzker.

I was ready to vote for Pete Buttigieg in the PA primary but he was out by then.
Obama's endorsement was payment for going with Hillary Clinton 2016 because Biden was a disaster.

President Biden needed to announce early that he was only serving one term. Then we could have had primaries, and the strongest candidate would have been nominated. I do think Gavin Newsome indeed would have been the nominee. And I think we would have won.

It's past time for the Democratic lawmakers to step it TF up. There is a grave need for our elected officials to prove they're up to the task. Up to this point, they've failed us big time.😤 Yes, Pam you were right & I'm grateful you're here to keep calling "them" out.

No. The tabulator hack doesn’t care what color you are or your gender. The algorithm in 2020 wasn’t expecting the surge of mail in voting allowing Biden to prevail. They made sure it this time around that there was nothing left to chance. Inflation and price of groceries were perfect subterfuge.

I freaking love Gavin Newsom.

Trump stole the election.
