      Newsome isn’t progressive and is a very pro-corporate neo-liberal. My opinion hasn’t changed, but somebody needs to stand up to Trump and it might as well be him, even if it’s just an opportunity for him to posture for a 2028 run.

        Sometimes I have to remind myself that a politician pretending to care and doing everything based on optics can still further the progressive agenda. Progress is still progress I guess.

        He just better not win the DNC nomination…

          He’s 100% the DNC guy, he’ll probably have signs that say it’s his turn. Only semi good thing is he’ll have a much better chance of winning than Hillary or Kamala had. AOC is the best choice and has the best chance of winning imo. Gavin is probably the 2nd best choice(electability-wise).

      Generally pissed at him for being a corporate shill who actively harms unsheltered people and takes any opportunity to get a photo op or hot take that he thinks will help his presidential run in 2028, while posing like a smarmy, aging GQ model.

      He said something about unfairness in sports due to players that have transitioned being a concern that was worth looking into

      Thus, many vocal trans rights advocates have blacklisted him

        Listened to the segment and yeah, he’s a politician: saying anything in a noncommittal way to get people in the room onto his side. He’s not principled for sure, but in this case I genuinely don’t think he was airing a true personal perspective either.
