The poll comes as Newsom has taken a more aggressive position in standing up to President Donald Trump.

The poll indicates support for the more aggressive position Newsom has taken in standing up to Donald Trump, particularly over a plan by Republicans in Texas to redraw their state’s congressional seat map in the hopes of winning more seats in midterm elections next year.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential election candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party as it struggles with net favorability at what one recent poll showed to be a three-year low. Newsom has not formally announced his candidacy.

      Genocide was going to happen without anyone else being involved. And if America wasn’t involved, you lot would have just found another thing to be outraged over. I’ve seen this time-and-again. This happens every election year.

      “If you weren’t outraged by us providing the weapons to bomb brown kids it would probably be us providing the weapons to bomb black kids, there is just no winning with you people…”

          They got to commit genocide on the palestinian people because of the seppo governments assistance. The occupation regime of west palestine would cease to exist if not for your government.

          I also said nothing about you bombing anyone, you provide the bombs and let others do the dirty work.

          Also what kind of argument is “they were going to commit genocide anyway, might as well help them?”

      When we go to unprovable predictions about the future so that the your argument cannot be refuted, the debate ends right there. I don’t play what if.

      Thats… called a hypothetical. Hypotheticals allow you to do thought experiments - which are not some conniving, underhanded, or fallacious way of arguing.

      If, hypothetically, in 30 years, your choice is between a democrat who wants 10 genocides and a replublican who wants 11, will you still be militantly democrat?
