"Gavin Newsom is America's Keir Starmer" is perhaps the most devastating thing that has ever been or could ever be said about an American.

Seeing people in the US of States glazing Newsom's dank memes and being all "Gavin slayyyy" is giving Starmer Fever 2024 and, American pals, it's equally embarrassing to witness.

  1. I honestly though Newsoms post had teeth. Then I saw many conservatives take it straight faced to misrepresent and realized republicans are so thick a bunker buster wouldn't go through their skull.

    What I mean to say is Zohran Mamdani for the win.

  2. Being “less evil / wildly incompetent than the other guy” shouldn’t be a primary qualification for office. Yet, here we are.

    It’s also kinda how Tr*mp got here… anyone else remember the rest of the GOP primary lineup from 2016? No-hopers, lunatics, entitled but useless dynasty scions…and Ted Cruz.

  3. I simultaneously love his parodies of Trump, and also hope Democrats can find an actual leader.

  4. And it isn’t close to true. Newsom is managing the 4th largest economy in the WORLD and has implemented some of the most progressive social policies. He isn’t perfect, but he isn’t Starmer.

  5. I think if you show other Democrats that Newsom’s style excites people it might actually knock them out of their stupor. You need to glaze the methods but not the man, basically.

  6. PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP

    THE RIGGING IN TEXAS HAS IGNITED PEOPLES DOUBT

    TRUMP RIGGED THE 2024 ELECTION

    HE IS NOT THE US PRESIDENT

    KAMALA HARRIS IS PRESIDENT

    WE DEMAND TOTAL INVESTIGATION AND REMOVAL OF THE ILLEGALY ELECTED ADMINISTRATION

    POUR SOME EPSTEIN ON THIS FIRE AND WATCH IT SPREAD

  7. This is exactly what brought us MAGA. I’ve been trying to tell people I know to find out what a politicians stance is before you support them. His strategy has shown effective against the current regime but his history shows he would NOT make a good POTUS!!!

  8. It is supposed to be a PARODY of Trump to point out how foolish he looks, to the specific Americans who STILL don't see it, and actually worship Trump as their Cult leader. It is supposed to be ridiculous - no sane person thinks of politicians like that. But maga does.

  9. If Sooz means that in the sense that if you ended up with him you'd very quickly be looking for the return receipt then yeah absolutely. There's enough to dislike about him absolutely. But Newsom is much less bland and uninteresting than Starmer and has more game, at least at the moment.

  10. On the other hand, it’s good “lessons learned” for future reference, for when Gavin runs for the Dem nomination in 2028. But I think many people are not Gavin fans but are happy to let him fight fire with fire for now.
