Honestly I doubt much of anybody gives a fuck what Newsom thinks, these days. His term ends this year.
He's the worst choice for President who isn't actually a Nazi.
He also might be the only choice for President who isn't a Nazi.
Whether or not he's the Democrat nominee, the nominee will be someone that virtually nobody actually likes.
We're going to hold our noses and vote for them, or we're going to get President Vance and eight more years of Heritage Foundation policy.
No chance, I think. The only poll which doesn't place Harris in the lead, usually by double digits, gives it to Buttigeig. I think if it comes down to either Harrs vs Newsom or Buttigieg vs Newsom then the supporters of candidates who lost will put their weight behind the opponent to Newsom.
Newsom is a dishonest, anti-democratic, anti-tax, anti-bodily autonomy, etc candidate. While these qualities may have helped with California's redistricting, he will not be popular enough for the majority in the DNC 2028 primaries.
In other words, he's going to be the perfect corporate shill and have billions in dark money behind his campaign.
Not even dark money, it's just going to come from the Gettys. Just like how he got his business, job as mayor, and then his job as governor.
Like Michael Bloomberg was? Lmfao
Every time I say this the internet falls on me. As a cis-straight-white-male who is close to a fairly well planned (but not exorbitant) retirement, I won't be hurt by a third much trump term... But I will feel very sorry for those who are NOT cis-straight-white-males who stayed home and helped it happen.
Historically, there are very few instances of radical change in government... Incremental progressive change is the best we can hope for...
