(31,261 posts)Fight Trump. There are other solid Democrats in California other than Newsome once Brown leaves in two years, there is no certainty Newsome will assume the Governor's chair. I really like the Mayor of Oakland and the Mayor of LA, both are progressive and sharp politicians.
Voting Rights attacks by Sessions will get tied up in the Courts for years, he can't do squat on his own. Our problem as Democrats is that we have fallen into the belief that money wins elections, it doesn't, having clear ideas and driving those ideals home every minute wins elections, along with having an effective political war room to instantaneously call republican candidates on their bullshit. Also, as a party, we need to get younger, more agressive politicians to the front adap, that is why I was so disappointed when Nancy Pelosi didn't step aside in favor of a younger Democrat House Leader (republicans have successfully used her as a lightening rod for the last eight years, to the detriment of Democrats).
