Sweep all problems under the carpet instead of trying to solve the root problem.

Jesus , this guy looking to join Trump's team?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I came here to say this sounds like something Trump or DeSantis would do. Disappointing it is Newsome. We need leaders with solutions, not bigger prisons. (I'm not sure what I would do, but I'm also not the Gov of California hoping to be in the Dem shortlist in 2028).

I'm trying wrap my head around the possibility of voting for Newsome just to keep whoever the Nazis nominate is really painful.

If you want to get rid of homeless encampments, how about making sure people have a safe place to stay at night?

Attacking the very poorest of society with all his energy. What a piece of work.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

He has tried nothing useful and is all out of ideas.

So - when did Newson have a Fetterman-like stroke?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

When he realized he could get a bunch of money capitulating to and sane washing hard right wingers with a podcast.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I hope he has one that is substantially worse

Ladies and Gentlemen, our 48th President (whether we want him or not)...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not going to happen. Not because the conservative Democrats won't be able to hoodwink enough primary voters to believe the highest priority is accommodating what they think their shittiest neighbor could (but will not) tolerate, but because in doing so they'll lose the voters they actually need to win and Don Jr. will ascend to the throne.

You are overlooking the most valuable thing that Newsom has, that makes him even more qualified to earn enough votes to win: a penis.

Unfortunately, if you don't have one, you can't get elected right now.

Ok sure.

While you're at it, allow cities to commandeer vacancies over 3 months to house the unhoused.

Or is the point to put the squeeze on folks without options or resources to move up economically without providing any solution.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

They don't want them to move up they want them to move out

Given Newsom's swing toward the hard right, I'm going with this choice...

And, fuck Newsom. 🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ 🖕

Perhaps we have a brainslug infestation in progress?

Would explain a lot actually...

My money's on more Russian influence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I bet I can guess which option it is…
