Gavin Newsom knows the popular image of him is of a smooth talker with slicked-back hair, the wealthy liberal who co-owns a vineyard.
He knows, regarding the presidential ambitions he’s hardly hiding, that the biggest question he would face out of the gate is whether he could sell Americans on wanting California to represent their future rather than seeing it as the place where the wackiest liberal dreams go to run wild.
The redistricting fight that Newsom and the state legislature are launching Monday could, he and his inner circle believe, give him all the rebuttals he needs.
He’s definitely gunning for the top job, but he is hardly a progressive, sadly
Edit: at least he is a fighter, something the dems have been sorely lacking
He fights for a certain set of billionaires who happen to be less destructive than the other set of billionaires. But don't be fooled into thinking he is going to fight for anyone less privileged.
Well to be fair, he did sign into law a $20 minimum wage and labor standards for the fast food industry. That's not nothing.
He’s not a progressive at all, he wants to throw my people (trans folx) under the bus as hard as republicunts do
What's the point of folx? Folks was already non gendered.
I think he’s left-of-center leaning, but postures in a way that is throwing trans people under the bus to win votes from bigots that may lean left, center, or right. Do I think he personally would push for any trans sports ban? Not really, but he is playing it up to win over the voters that for some reason are treating trans people in sports as a hardline issue they are against.
It’s one of several reasons I wouldn’t want him specifically to win the 2028 primary; since I would like to believe our country still has enough kind people that we don’t need to step on each other for us to all get ahead.
