I personally had many people pile on me when I criticized him during the peak of his meming on Trump. But it does feel like the tide has turned against him a bit now.

They love the pointless, performative shit.

Look at what Newsom is actually doing: presiding over a state where, for the vast majority of his constituents, it's becoming unaffordable to live in while at the same time he is actively criminalizing homelessness.

Absolutely. And he vetoed a lot of great bills seeking to address many of the state’s crises.

He also vetoed ranked choice voting

All the more reason to pass STAR or Ranked Robin voting, improved versions of RCV, once he’s out of the governor’s office.

Newsom specifically would never would have won reelection for the governor’s race under ranked choice voting.
