I’m not trying to get into an argument over electoralism right now, but I think you underestimate people’s sensitivity to their material conditions.
Candidates like Newsom are the reason why people disengage from politics entirely. It’s why I like Walz, he’s been extremely effective at passing popular policies while heading off the most common GOB objections.
Someone with that kind of record would be way more electable than a Newsom or a Biden. Even the most reactionary people in my life have nothing to complain about with Walz. We haven’t had an effective Democratic president since FDR, and it’s the reason our economy continues to get worse for the working class.
