Seems pretty clear that he’s trying to burnish his national reputation for a presidential run.
Fuck you very much, Newsom.
Definitely.
Right leaning Democrats do so well in elections. /s
In any civilized country, the Democrats would be a right-leaning party.
Was wondering what the actual hell was up with his string of vetoes lately.
Maybe he sees himself as the 2028 Dem nominee and wants to demonstrate he’s not an evil socialist to the non-crazy Republicans…
I certainly hope not - any D is better than none, but he’s one of those who least align with the collective interests of most.
Non-crazy republicans… Sorry, but until they unequivocally stand up and reject Trump, they’re all irredeemably crazy.
