And this is why people shouldn't support Newsom, he is a moderate.

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
nublug@piefed.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 225d
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's not a moderate, he's a standard establishment Democrat loser, the kind that got us here. He's the same as Schmuck & Jeffries.
AshMan85@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 223d
That would be a moderate.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 223d
That would be a DINO/ MAGA Lite.
RiotingPacifist@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 223d
Yeah I don't see the point of MAGA-lite it's been tried all over Europe and never works, people want full MAGA over diet MAGA.
The only countries kind of holding their shit together are those where a center-left party has been dragged left by being in coalition with a left wing party (Spain, Portugal, etc)

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.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 223d
There is nothing moderate about that rightist scum.
hesh@quokk.au · 70 pts · 225d
He says he's scared the billionaires will leave California. Just like they didn't leave NYC when Mamdani was elected.
silence7@slrpnk.net · 62 pts · 225d
What he is scared of is billionaires deciding to not fund his presidential campaign
BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 224d
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.

Don't down vote because Newsom is a POS, upvote it so people can see him being a POS
hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 224d
Ah, the eternal struggle...
supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz · 14 pts · 225d
What a trash politician.
GhostPain@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 225d
Of course he is because puppets gonna dance.
ceenote@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 225d
If he successfully stops this but the fallout prevents him from being the 2028 president nominee, sorry California but it's worth it.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 223d
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.

And this is the leading candidate for 2028 😳
krashmo@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 225d
He's sure as shit not my leading candidate
Branch_Ranch@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 224d
Yea, no thanks. A lot can happen in the next couple of years though. Maybe it'll be weird Al vs Laura loomer. 🤷🏼
tino_408@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 224d
No thanks 🙂↔️lol

Honestly think this might help libs in the rest of the country realize how much of a peice of shit he is.
Maybe it's just my bubble but I think the abundbros are cooked in 28, even Warren is gunning for them.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 223d
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.
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 223d
Here's to everyone signing for this, and the folks out there getting the signatures!!

What a piece of shit
Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 225d
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.
RiotingPacifist@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 224d
I don't get why homeowners want high property values, sure your home is worth more, but to access that wealth you got to be homeless.
Seems like a bad deal

He's a differently colored snake, I guess I haven't said this enough to the Lemmings
Furbag@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 223d
This guy cannot leave office fast enough. Keep him away from any potential DNC primaries.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 223d
He's not as bad as MAGA, but that doesn't make him good.

You aren't going to get any real change out of a career politician. Ever.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 225d
Never change, Dems.

Despite his Very Funny social medias posting, this man is a Shill for the Rich. Thank you for Attention to this matter.
