In a battle between two Californians considering Democratic runs for president in 2028, Gov. Gavin Newsom holds a slight edge over former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by Politico and The Citrin Center public opinion firm, found Newsom is the top choice of 25% of California’s Democratic voters in the 2028 Democratic primary, leading all prospective candidates including Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee, who is supported by 19% of the state’s Democrats.
The two high-profile Californians are followed in the poll by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (13%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (10%), Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (4%) and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (4%).
I honestly can’t believe they haven’t learned the consequences of doing nothing when the bare minimum would have saved so many people.
I am left to believe that trump’s bot campaign is back in full force because frankly, I cannot believe someone can be this willfully ignorant.
Its the voters fault that the candidates are shit…
The important thing here is that you’re right and should continue preaching the same message because it worked so well the last time. And changing tactics wouldn’t be a sign of learning something or not being lazy.
I’m left to wonder if you’re saying the same thing to all the edgy communists who are promising they won’t vote for Newsom if he wins the bid.
You know. Because it’s just a repeat of the same thing they did last time and all.
I tell them to not expect worsening conditions to teach liberals the right lesson and they should vote as if they’re choosing a boss fight. In that context fascist-light is the correct choice.
Yeah. I checked. Your comment history tells a different story. And for the record, the only thing a far-leftist can teach anyone is that by example-
doing nothing, does nothing.

A comment-less meme that you didn’t even post is your example against my argument?
There’s 57 comments and if you can’t see mine then I guess someone banned/blocked you. I edited my comment to include the text I posted.
I figured it out. It’s in LeftyMemes. I have that entire community blocked.
Everyone you disagree with is a bot, even when they have articulated thoughts.
That’s a pretty bold accusation. Do you care to back that up with evidence?
Everyone
Are you insinuating that you represent all people in this case? Or are you willing to accept that fact that I made this accusation based on a finite number of people that fit the description?
Well lemme know when someone calls out a fascist platforming transphobe who hates the poor, and you don’t think they’re a Trump supporter.
Entirely irrelevant to the discussion, but whatever makes you feel part of it. And speaking of, I’m going to end it here.
Have the day you voted for.
I voted for Harris in California, so I am thanks to Trump’s bullshit.
Ahhh! I get. So you decided to white-knight a comment that was removed by a mod- looking for an argument where you thought you would find one….
I really wish you’d have just said so- it would have saved SO much time.
Yeah. I think they’re just young idealists, trying to signal their values on social media.
I don’t think Lemmy is much of a target for bots but I feel like we get the back scatter - actual users parroting the narrative they picked up elsewhere.
