MODERATORS
of course he is.
No matter what he says, he is ultimately, at the end of the day, a puppet for the rich, and he will manipulate the laws as he sees fit for their benefit.
No surprises there. This is always who he was. Just because he mocked the right wing in their own style people seemed to think he was different than the larger neo-lib whole.
What a piece of shit
He's not as bad as MAGA, but that doesn't make him good.
Dude is the worst.
And this is why people shouldn't support Newsom, he is a moderate.
He's not a moderate, he's a standard establishment Democrat loser, the kind that got us here. He's the same as Schmuck & Jeffries.
His owners pulled his strings
You don't support politicians in America. This is a first past the post system. You just begrudgingly vote against the worst one and work like mad to get ranked choice.
He's a "moderate" Capitalist lackey asshole.
You don’t support him because he is a moderate.
I fucking hate him because he personally destroyed the possessions of the poorest of his constituents
he's a fuckin nazi who pays lip service and does pr stunts to seem moderate. see also: uk's starmer.
they're cryptofascists.
He says he's scared the billionaires will leave California. Just like they didn't leave NYC when Mamdani was elected.
And like they didn't leave Massachusetts after its millionaire tax was imposed.
Where are they going to go? They became billionaires in this economic system, and even if they have to pay more in taxes, they'll still be in the friendliest economic system on the planet.
If there were a better place, they'd already be there.
What he is scared of is billionaires deciding to not fund his presidential campaign
Don't down vote because Newsom is a POS, upvote it so people can see him being a POS
Ah, the eternal struggle...
I have a feeling this is going to turn out like the rent control referendum, all the political and media establishment is lining up to save the property values of there rich overlords.
What a trash politician.
Of course he is because puppets gonna dance.
If he successfully stops this but the fallout prevents him from being the 2028 president nominee, sorry California but it's worth it.
And this is the leading candidate for 2028 😳
Yea, no thanks. A lot can happen in the next couple of years though. Maybe it'll be weird Al vs Laura loomer. 🤷🏼
No thanks 🙂↔️lol
He's sure as shit not my leading candidate
You aren't going to get any real change out of a career politician. Ever.
Never change, Dems.
