Oh, Gavin Newsom would be fine with it considering the way he has sabotaged LGBTQ legislation in California, but let's just pretend none of that happened because lesser. We wouldnt want to run a good candidate and take a chance of actually winning, after all.

Maybe if we STOP RUNNING THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS WE WILL WIN! Naw, that is too mad an idea.
Refusing to vote for the lesser of two evils is a bad idea when the greater evil is *that much* greater.

He gets the check from U.S. Naval War College and the peoplel he writes for. Stop being a sucker.
Did you put your routing number on the invoice? I bet that's it.
Also remember they are Net90, so they hold onto that money as long as possible.

Oh, it is not 'allowed'? And how am I stopping him. He can do it all he wants to but don't expect me to pretend that is not what he is doing, pretending to be against the right wing while sucking up to them.
The lesson here is it's OK to dunk on Newsom, but *only* if you dunk on him *from the left*. Dunking on him -- or anyone, for that matter -- from the center is not allowed, even if you agree generally that they deserve to be dunked on.

Haha! He 'asks' me a question while blocking my reply. He writes for The Atlantic - that cuts him that nonexistent check - backing less-evil Democrats like Clinton instead of strong opponents. But bad us if we don't kiss soft-on-right-wing Democrat arses.
I'd like an explanation of how I get paid to support less-evil. I have invoiced the Less-Evil Foundation and they won't issue a single check.
I support less-evil instead of working for something better because I am paid not to.

The regime supported by the American President!
A large Russian attack on Kyiv left the Ukrainian parliament without power Tuesday and half of the capital’s residential buildings without heating or power. Russian attacks also targeted the cities of Dnipro and Odesa, killing four people and injuring 33 across Ukraine.

"I stayed home and let Vance and ICE run the country because I'm pissed that we're not at EU vacation-pay standards"
Dem ‘28 bumpersticker:
“Lesser of 2 evils and a mediocre roadblock to nihilism.”
Less evil is indeed the US benchmark for a party that still doesn’t even have paid vacation as an idea in 2026 (EU mandated 4 weeks paid vacation in 1992).

Before “Special Counsel,” Jack Smith worked at The Hague, where the job is to look power in the eye and keep writing anyway.
War crimes. Chains of command. Evidence over excuses.
That kind of work leaves you with one stubborn belief: no one is above accountability.
We see you, Sir.
