    Newsom’s about face on policies this last year as he ramps up his run for presidency is fucking disgusting. Between him and fetterman we’re learning that even ‘the good ones’ will throw their constituents to the wolves when power and money are involved.

      If you’ve been paying attention to his decisions and the state of California, like at all, you’d know Newsom was never one of the good ones. He just puts on the face like he is.

        California is doing a hell of a lot better than any other state. That’s why it’s always people who don’t live here who want to say shit like this.

        No state is perfect. This is the US after all. But major California cities are the best you’re going to get in terms of anything even resembling progressivism. If people who don’t live here or have never been here want to make the choice to believe conservative propaganda about homelessness when it’s a nationwide problem, or about crime when it’s decreased nationwide, then that’s their own problem.
