Seeing Gavin Newsom employ the same "reach out to the right" tactic that a certain two pundits have, knowing how much they hate him but also knowing how deeply alike they are. Centrists abound.

If they're actual populists, who'll enact populist policies.
The current administration has put on a dog and pony show of being populist, but they lie with every breath...
I watched TNT since 2016 after being disgusted with msm. They were such a breath of fresh air. I'm heart broken over this latest chapter. Discouraged. Disgusted.
But if I hadn't found them, I might not have found John Iadarola. And thank God for him because on his show I discovered you. My fav :)
I wonder if these affluent straight white reactionary centrists realize that the rest of us can see with 100% clarity that if history shifted just a bit and this was the peak of the gay rights movement, they’d be telling us to throw gay people under the bus.
“We can’t have gay men leering at boys in bathrooms and dressing rooms,” or some other bullshit. Like, it’s only a matter of time before JK Rowling starts howling about lesbians in women’s safe spaces.
For all of Cenk's bluster (in many ways, rightfully so) about populism and being anti-establishment, he and Ana have certainly been agreeing with all the establishment centrists and employing their tactics. And the sad part is, I don't even know if they're self aware enough to realize it.
MFW Newsom and YTY make the same transphobic landing at/after talking to Charlie Kirk despite repeatedly telling them both exactly why maga fasc and og nazis both go after trans people first. Centrism is how out-group fascism assimilates power. They're chasing hypothetical voters that don't exist.

We cannot all be as awesome as the Democrat Party, which lost an election to MAGA because they are so amazing.
But yeah, cancel anyone who isn't in lockstep with you. It wins sooooo many elections.
The economic populists can win, and those are not far-left people but everyday Americans who are struggling under the system.

That formula has been tried before, including by figures who eventually showed their true colors... Like Mussolini himself.
Economic populism must lean left to deliver
The dude can't even write/read the word conservation properly.
