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.
A couple of the decisions I can kinda see his reasoning as stated (such as wanting to wait to make psychadelics legal after regulations are passed) but that doesn’t change the fact that the optics are fucking horrible. And then pile decisions like this on that are just straight up the same shity pushover reasoning that allowed Trump to get to the point of trying to overthrow the government in the first place, and it starts to feel like Newsom started falling down the same alt-right rabit hole that your former-leftie college roomate did when he first started using weird logical leaps to justify dumb stances to his leftie friends before going full “enlightened tech-bro”. Can we get more politicans to grow some fucking balls please.
Translation: I would rather take this opportunity to self-promote.

I would not attribute that to Newsom, personally.
