(15,800 posts)Every time I see one of these, I am less likely to vote for Newsom in the 2028 primary.

(15,800 posts)While I appreciate a president with a sense of humor, a candidate lowers himself for that high office by mimmicking Trump.
AZLD4Candidate
(6,856 posts)This sounds like a solution looking for a problem.
"I agree with this Democrat 100%, but his shoes are tacky so I am not going to vote for the Democrat."
I love purity tests and how we always throw our candidate under the bus for the idiotic of reasons.

Nobody is perfect. All have plusses and minuses. I see Newsom's ALL CAPS mimmickry of Trump as a negative. There are better ways to tear him a new one, including scathing wit and humor.

(1,384 posts)He's normalizing it. The ONLY thing that gets under his skin is making fun of him or embarrassing him.
There should be MORE of it. When he insults a journalist like he did Norah O'Donnell on 60Min she shouldve mocked his insult right then.
Martin Eden
(15,800 posts)He can tear Donnie 2-Dolls a new one without acting like him.
Justice matters.
(9,984 posts)Hoping the on-the-fence Republicans will realize they've been had by a conman and finally snap out of the mafia-don cult.
Martin Eden
(15,800 posts)There are much better ways to get one's point across. These ALL CAPS mocking posts won't move the needle for any swing voter or MAGAt.
It turns me off, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I've been a Democratic voter since 1976. I will always vote for our party's nominee, but there are more choices in the primary.
Justice matters.

(17,689 posts)It's mockery. There's a difference.
Martin Eden
(15,800 posts)This might help him with some online users in the primary, but it will turn some (like me) off as well.
Won't help at all in the general election, though he'll probably change his messaging if he wins the primary.

(15,800 posts)If he found a different way to rip Krasnov a new one, or just stopped with the ALL CAPS Trumpian social media posts?
I suppose people have come to expect it, but I'd like to see the governor take a different approach to expose The Fascist Grifter for what he is, which can be done with scathing wit and humor.
BannonsLiver
(20,768 posts)Wont you at least reconsider, and give Governor Newsom another chance?
Martin Eden
(15,800 posts)I like my governor better (Pritzger) but a lot can happen between now and 2028.
If it looks like the general election could be very close, my vote will go to the candidate who I deem most likely to beat the Republican.
That's what I did in 2020 with my primary vote for Joe Biden, breaking a vow I made in 2002 (the year I joined DU). I protested the war in Iraq before Dim Son Bush launched it. Heading into the Oct 2002 vote on the Iraq War Resolution, I was looking for strong Democratic leadership to oppose it. A little more than half the Dems in the House and Senate voted against it but several Senate leaders voted for it including John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton. I vowed that no one who voted to give GW Bush authority to invade Iraq would ever get my vote in a Democratic primary. I held that vow for 18 years.
Newsom's ALL CAPS Trump trolling is a very minor issue by comparison.

(11,880 posts)This is clearly laughing AT Krasnov, not WITH him.
This is MOCKING and RIDICULE.
I think it's great and hilarious. Maybe some idiot MAGAts will see it, and be shown how Krasnov does the same thing every day. Except he sincerely means that shit.
Martin Eden
(15,800 posts)Exactly why I don't like it.
Just my opinion. To each his own.

Really? His supporters should bombard him with messages asking him why he lowered his standards to such an extent!
