    Who is confused by this? The california fash (aka liberals) who hate the homeless? Or the fash who hate trans people?

    Are californians/libs really so blind to who they actually are?

    If you follow CA politics, he isn’t as progressive as you would hope. He speaks money first. We don’t need anymore centrist elistist corporate dems.

      Washington just got similarly boned with Bob Ferguson… He is protecting a sex pest in his ranks.

      He kicked ass as AG and I already regret backing him. Why is this so fucking hard for these people??

        They’re money. They’ve always been money. Backtrack through the news of Kamala’s campaign regarding all the money raised. Where did it go? What happened to it? The point is, win OR lose, they make bank.

          Right, but Bob Ferguson was legitimately fighting giant corporations tooth and nail as Washington State’s Attorney General. He was deeply loved for all the fighting for consumers he did. Like way more than we have had in a long time. I can understand with Kamala, I can’t understand with my current Governor and former AG.

    Newsom has always been a politician first, and now he sees the wind blowing MAGA and seems to be charting a MAGA-lite course. He has no principles or ethics, it’s all about what will bring him power.

    He’s going to run for president in 2028. With the number of people repeating the trope about how the anti-Trump coalition needs a straight white man, I worry that Newsom will actually be the candidate.

      I sure fucking hope not. He is widely disliked on the Left and hated on the right. We need someone who doesn’t already have a negative audience perception.

        The perfect democratic candidate. Bound to lose. I can’t wait to blame the voters.

      Arguably his career is over: supposedly he can’t be re-elected.

      So what’s his next career or where does he want to pivot?

      • A lot of people have been expecting national office, but he’s been villainized by the right enough that maybe he’s trying to freshen his image. Somehow trumps tv show freshened his image, so his con man past of broken contracts, failing businesses, and ridiculous ego didn’t hurt his election
      • but a lot of former politicians do well as talking heads. Maybe that’s his gig
