It's not just this specific issue:
Newsome is a neoliberal, and he'll always put profits over people.
Never forget as soon as trump took office again, Newsom had Charlie Kirk and Alex Jones on his podcast sucking up to them and saying Dems need to be more like MAGA.
He didn't pivot back to anti-maga until maga refused to let him join.
Newsom isn't fit to be president, but he's not fit to hold any other political office either. We can't afford to waste time with these shit birds
I don’t think he had Alex Jones. Maybe you’re thinking of Steve Bannon.
As much as people like to bring up the Charlie Kirk interview as a reason to vote against Newsom, I actually appreciated that interview (along with the other controversial right wing interviews). It gives me an insight into the kind of people responsible for nearly 50% of the population’s beliefs without having to listen to a circle jerk. Newsom does push back against most of these people, but it is not meant to be a debate, but a conversation.
If I had the option of listening to Newsom interview Kirk, Joe Rogan interview Kirk, or having no knowledge of Kirk whatsoever, I would choose Newsom.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion on here, and I know Newsom is a cringy person, and I know his one trans athletes comment is not popular on this site (even though he shares the same opinion as most Americans by far), but I am grateful that these interviews exist.
And before I get all the hate that I know is coming, I’m not a neoliberal, I’m not maga, I’m very progressive, I’m not an LLM… what am I missing?
