We actually CAN have a candidate that’s not in the pocket of big corporate interests. But that person needs to also not look at both parties and think “well, these are the only options.” Ross Perot actually had a decent run in 1992, and he was fucking nuts. A solid governor that declares their own party corrupt and not a part of the future would be seen as a hero, and could build on a groundswell. Newsome just showed us all that he’s not that hero.
Both parties have committed sepuku over the last 12 months anyway. The bravery lies in being the person that has the guts to admit it.
