In reply to the discussion: Gavin Newsom said the "Democratic brand is toxic" and we need to stop talking down to people. [View all]tulipsandroses
(7,096 posts)BUT it has to be coupled with true fight and true grit. Newsom is not showing us that. When he raised the flag for trump after Jimmy Carter's death, I gave him a pass. I figured, he's taking one for the team, making sure that the people of CA still suffering after the fires would get the aid they need. But it appears I may have been wrong in that assumption.
I believe Gavin is doing and saying whatever he needs to, or thinks he needs to position himself as the next Dem presidential nominee.
Well, Gav, you gotta get through a primary first. At this rate, it's not gonna happen.
Democrats are on the right side of history. Republicans attack minorities and Democrats defend them and then RW media says it's democrats that are the problem.
Now is the perfect time, if you wanted to reach out to " working class" AKA whiny ass white men and women - to let them understand its class warfare that is a danger to us. Not black folks, brown folks, women, LGBTQ folks, immigrants or any other boogeyman.
We lost the election, mostly because of RW propaganda, voter suppression and voter apathy. We did not lose because democratic policies are bad policies.
Whomever the next Dem nominee is, will need a groundswell of people to get behind him or her. It's not going to be the person agreeing with RW trolls.
