Yeah I'm calling total bullsit on this gaslighting. Newsom has implemented too many ultra-lib policies in his time as CA's chief fruit and nut.
He actually makes dumbass Hilary look more "centrist".

quote:

"I think Newsom has the Hillary Clinton problem, which is that Hillary Clinton was perceived outside of the Democratic Party and Democratic coalition as the ultimate lib, the libiest lib who ever lived, and was never actually like that much of a lib," Hayes told Douthat during his "Interesting Times" podcast. "It was like — and also had a record that was fairly centrist, particularly as a U.S. senator."

"And that’s like the worst uncanny valley for a Democratic politician to be in, where the base doesn’t trust you because you don’t have a kind of organic relationship with the left parts of the party. And then the swing voter just thinks like, that’s a lib," he added.

He’s not an ultra-lib, and he’s not a centrist. Not a corporatist nor a moderate nor a progressive.


He’s nothing. He’s whatever he needs to be in every individual moment to make himself as palatable as possible to the people his is in the room with. He’s a shapeshifter without a core.

Basically, he’s Kamala. Just with far more polish.

Polish?

Hair gel.

Also, I am at my upper limit for the word "lib" after this thread.

You don't know who Chris Hayes is?

MSDNC host?

He is a bigger nut than Newsome, so he is just a kook who thinks everybody else besides the absolutely most extreme nut is a "moderate".

he changes his narrative so much, he is a lair.....speaks to his audience!

He will get the usual number of D votes, because DEMS dont care about the candidate....they just free and weird shite!

I just shake my head at the irony of the, good-looking, empty-suited,white-as-white-can-be slickster evidently representing the best hope for the color-obsessed, “diverse, race-baiting, whitey-hating Dems.

The article is correct that he’s a successful politician who is somehow disliked by both sides. Dems don’t like him either - he’s either not progressive enough for them or they feel he’s fake/sell out

The center has totally evaporated on the left and barely exists at all on the right at this point. Well for the current Overton window right I guess. Things can be very much much more right.
