In reply to the discussion: Gavin Newsom said the "Democratic brand is toxic" and we need to stop talking down to people. [View all]pinkstarburst
(1,681 posts)he's become a right wing MAGAT sellout who will post and say anything to get his name in the news. While he's chasing right wing voters (who will never vote for a formerly left leaning progressive governor of California), he's alienating voters in OUR party.
We need to smarten up as a party. We spend too much time chasing right wing votes. Too much time pulling our hair out trying to figure out how to get MAGA to vote for democrats and how to get right-leaning "independents" to vote for democrats. They are not voting democrat. That bloc of voters is solidly red and votes red every single time. They show up for their candidates in big BIG numbers.
Our problem is that dems stay home on election day. We need to get them to come out and show up. That won't happen with a candidate like Newsom who is sleazy right wing-lite. We need someone like AOC, like Tim Walz, like Buttigieg, like Jasmine Crockett, like Elizabeth Warren. Democrats who are actually GENUINE and don't change their tune every week.
