Newsome being +30 is why California Dems can never be taken seriously as progressives ever again.

How the fuck is Newsom at +30? He's so obviously a fraud and an opportunist.
The average person is not politically engaged. They literally don't hear at least half the stuff we hear. The candidate to resonate with them is the one who has a clear message that gets repeated...
-
4,100 sample size is like 4x necessary even when polling every American, this is a huge sample size.
-
AOC beating Harris right after Harris ran a billion plus dollar campaign (still not sure what that was spent on) is also huge.
-
AOC and Bernie just held the largest political rally in Iowa since 08 Obama.
Ken Martin isn't going to play favorites, I'm almost certain at this point it's going to be AOC. And she's going to raise a lot of progressive votes across all the primaries since it'll likely go to the end.
There's a lot of reasons to be negative these days, but there's also reasons to think we're going to actually see FDR 2.0 like we thought we were going to in 08.
Can't wait for it to somehow be Fetterman...
