Imagine all the people Gavin Newsom could have talked to for his podcast launch. Activists fighting the oligarchy, fired federal workers, people who are at risk of losing their SNAP or Medicaid... Instead he sits down with a white supremacist to attack trans people? A failure on all fronts. - ThreadSky

That is disappointing

Democrats should stop arguing over the deck chair arrangement.

I just don’t know what to say anymore 🤯

THIS IS OUR SELMA! Elected Democrats are asking We the People display our outrage by asking us to protest & put ourselves in the path of danger. THEY MUST WALK THE WALK, NOT TALK THE TALK. This is the time! Elected Democrats and Independents must be brave. WALK THIS BRIDGE WITH US!!!!!!

Indeed, the Democratic Party is doomed to become irrelevant. Need to start completely fresh …

pingl.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Dems are really questionable in front of what America is going through right now.
Sometime it feels like they don’t get it or they are not totally opposed to it.
They lost the working class over time and maybe they deserve it.
Disappointing , they won’t be the viable opposition.

Newsom decided for all of us that he isn’t the guy.

ysguyz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nailed it

annemarron.bsky.social•2 days ago

That was horrifying to listen to! What was he hoping to accomplish with that?!

big-steppa.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s embarrassing

2boutdoors.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow unbelievable!

ysguyz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah…I’m out. I was excited to see him actually do something as a democrat with some sway but no longer.

equanimity1961.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is as if the Democrats don't want to win, or even be relevant. Ten of them, including Moskowitz, voted to censure Al Green. Who pushed their self-destruct button?

Agreed 👍

The whole point of his podcast is to talk to people with opposing viewpoints. Charlie Kirk is a POS, but you can’t deny he’s influential on the right. I actually listened to the podcast and it was interesting and informative, even if you don’t like Charlie

Newsom & DeSantis - Governor to Governor
Newsom & Kirk - Governor to pissant
Newsom elevated Kirk and lowered himself.

I don't find racists interesting or informative, and it's disappointing that a Democrat with the clout Newsom has would cede ground to him in any way, leaving people like you to opine that you found his words informative. It does not move us forward.

Seems a bit incongruent to share a post saying that “America is facing its Germany 1933 moment” yet defend platforming a Nazi? Very confusing to me.

honorabledf.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don’t defend anything that guy has to say. Let’s be clear about that. But I assume you agree that young people shifted right in ‘24 and people like Kirk have a lot to do with that. In order to win those voters back, it’s helpful to understand the tactics. That’s what I found interesting

brittanyepage.bsky.social•2 days ago

We know the tactics: lying, appealing to our worst instincts, turning people against vulnerable communities rather than folks in power. We don't need to platform a white supremacist to learn this. We need to provide a counter-message and shed light on the damage the Trump Admin is doing.

bcorbett.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nah man. We’re not moving goal posts. You defended Gavin Newson having him him, you defended platforming a known Nazi. I recommend looking inward.

honorabledf.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m not moving goalposts. Maybe what I failed to make clear is that if you listen to the show, they talk most of the time about organizing and voter enthusiasm and turnout. That’s why I found it interesting. Had they spent time talking about racial and Nazi issues, you’d most definitely be right

brittanyepage.bsky.social•2 days ago

This actually makes the conversation they had worse, you understand that, right? So, people are going to walk away knowing nothing about how dangerous Charlie Kirk is? Great.

bcorbett.bsky.social•2 days ago

Again I just find it interesting that you’re able to recognize parallels between 1933 Germany in some contexts but not others. Again I implore you to look inward and think about why that is.

barondbk.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why in Gods name would he give that POS the time of day???

moebu61.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, that seemed very disrespectful to that crab any airtime, when so many other deserving voices could have been heard

matthewarthurgray.com•2 days ago

We are not a monolith. We are not the cult of personality that consumes the right. It takes bravery to step out in a different direction than the rest of your group. I disagree with him - but his position is nonetheless WILDLY popular.

brittanyepage.bsky.social•2 days ago

What you call brave, I call embarrassing and harmful. Hourly, we discover just how much our fragile democracy is under attack, and Newsom is out here rubbing shoulders and ceding ground to a man aiding and abetting the attack.

aboomination.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a foreigner, I don't really know what's going on in this specific case, but it takes 0 bravery to attack trans people.

chardancer.bsky.social•2 days ago

Newsom and Cenk are giving Charlie Kirk the power he is thirsty for. the more people host Kirk or be hosted by him he will gain more credibility. Charlie Kirk should not be a kingmaker he should be reduced to the bleak edges of obscurity.

fubsywubsy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ana must be really conflicted having to be on the same team as Newsom again.

chardancer.bsky.social•2 days ago

No kidding. Poor Ana what a confusing life.
