    I haven’t seen a single person whining about Newsom who’s also proposed a progressive alternative who could run in the primary.

    This is when we’re supposed to bring in leftist candidates. Instead, they’ll do nothing, and then whine about the inevitable results.

      The onus is on potential progressive or leftist presidential candidates to show up - it’s their decision. It takes a tremendous amount of courage and boldness to enter public consciousness and face scrutiny in every direction.
