1. YES YES YES!!!!!!

I was just saying to my parents yesterday that the Democrats need to OWN the word freedom. WE ARE the party of freedom and we need to use that word in our ads and our debates, just like Newsom does here!!!!!!

[enough]

3. YES!!!

[fightforfreedom]

2. Newsom must have read my post from Friday, Lol!

My post said, the Democrats new battle cry should be, they are coming to take your rights away. It's a no brainer.

4. Where's the DNC ?

[In It to Win It]

24. Out to lunch

[OnDoutside]

5. Not an outlandish thought that this will be the 2024 Presidential

Contest, Newsome v Deathsantis

[Buckeyeblue]

7. I agree. That wouldn't surprise me.

[SunSeeker]

8. It's Newsom, not Newsome. And yes, Gavin Newsom would make a great President.

But Biden has done a great job and I see no reason not to vote for Biden in 2024.

[former9thward]

13. Not likely that Biden will be on the ballot.

Potential candidates know this and are out campaigning in the early primary states. Newsom running ads in FL and Gov. JB Pritzker making speeches in New Hampshire are just a couple of examples. Others are making sure to get interviewed on national political shows.

16. Biden says he's seeking reelection, and Harris will be his VP on the ticket.

[speak easy]

19. Would you expect him to say otherwise?

[W_HAMILTON]

22. Yes, because if you are right, he will have to say otherwise at some point.

Why not now? If you think he isn't running again, when exactly do you expect him to announce it? We're now less than a year away from the time period when the first Democratic debate took place for the 2020 nomination (June 26, 2019).

[former9thward]

20. No, that is the White House, not Biden.

He has never flatly said he is running. Biden has not made a declaration with the FEC which is required for candidates. Your link says he "intends" "if" and "if".

[SunSeeker]

25. Here's Biden saying it himself. "Yes," he says.

[former9thward]

27. More "ifs"

And more "intends". Please let me know when he files an official declaration with the FEC as required for any candidate for president.

[SunSeeker]

29. No ifs. The interviewer asked if he intended to run and he said YES.

Nobody has filed an official declaration. It's too early for that.

[former9thward]

32. Not too early for an incumbent.

Trump filed for 2020 on Jan 21, 2017. The day after his inauguration. And yes there was "ifs". I guess you did not catch that in the video.

[SunSeeker]

33. Trump filed early for 2020 to scam taxpayers; he hasn't filed yet for 2024.

As you may recall, Trump announcing that early in 2017 raised a lot of eyebrows as being inappropriate. Why would Biden copy Trump’s bad example?

And Trump has yet to announce for 2024. Since he's not in office, Trump can't bleed taxpayers for his fucking klan rallies, so there's no point in declaring early--except maybe to influence the DOJ prosecutors.

Biden's yes was an unqualified yes. In fact, he's the only person I'm aware of who has explicitly said he intends to run in 2024. Every yes by any candidate is going to assume "if" conditions that must be met, like health, fundraising, etc. And Biden is honest, so he acknowledges that. Biden is in excellent health and has done a great job as president. There's no reason why he wouldn't run. Sure, there is some rending of garments over his poll numbers. Maybe, if people like you would stop being so negative about him, he'd have better poll numbers.

Your assertion that it is "not likely that Biden will be on the ballot" isn't based on anything Biden or the White House said, and runs contrary to everything they have said on the subject.

[budkin]

15. That would be incredible

[yellowdogintexas]

17. or he is the first round in the aggressive, tough

messaging we need to take the offensive.

Every strong Democrat who is not on the ballot this year can step up and join this battle. Go on the stump for the ones who are on the ballot.

[EarnestPutz]

23. Bingo! That's exactly right, about him and about every Democrat too. We always have so much....

....to learn from our California brothers and sisters. Full disclosure: I have an idiot brother who is a classic, brain dead Orange county Republican (his wife is worse - originally a Missouri Synod Lutheran from Missouri no less). They hate the governor with a passion that warms my soul.

[GoodRaisin]

6. Every democrat should be talking this way.

Good for Gov. Newsom.

[dalton99a]

9. Great ad

[Kingofalldems]

10. Genius.

[J_William_Ryan]

11. Yes, Democrats must go on the offensive.

They must also stay united in their support of President Biden.

Talk of ‘someone else’ in 2024 only benefits Republicans.

[dlk]

12. Excellent ad

Keep up the good work!

[SheltieLover]

14. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

[IcyPeas]

18. CNN are discussing this ad now, and they just showed the ad...

good, that means even more people will see the actual ad.

[BigmanPigman]

21. "Gavin Newsom further stirs 2024 speculation with Florida ad buy..."

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom raised more questions about a potential presidential run late Monday when his re-election campaign purchased roughly $105,000 worth of cable TV ads that will run on Fox News in Florida starting July 4."

26. The wingnuts on the internet

are on fire about this. It's hilarious.

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

28. That this is being shown on Fox news makes me laugh

Great ad. And I especially like the fact that it's being shown on Fox. Anything that annoys their viewers makes me laugh.

31. Right on! All the Dems should be doing this across the country.

Airing on different red media outlets. It may not convert many but it might demoralize them.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

34. This is the winning message here, and I've said it for a long time

One party (the only remaining party) stands for life, human rights, decency, safety, respect. They are the ones working to protect existing rights and codify new ones so that everyone can have fairness and democracy.

The other "party" (now Christofascist domestic terrorist organization) stands for tyranny, oppression, bigotry, hatred, stripping of human rights, and death.

So do you stand for democracy, human rights and life? Or do you stand for tyranny, bigotry and death?
