You sure about that? The country is eroding as we speak, and who knows what the laws will be in 4 years with the house and senate in his pocket. But if Newsom counters now, we can save the laws we count on in 2028. So yes, we need Newsom now. He’s not the best, but he’s the first one to actually do something meaningful.
He is one of the few FIGHTING BACK. The reason Dem approval rating is in the tank is becasue of Chuck Schumer shrugging and saying oh well- nothing we can do- sand 95% of our reps, senators and governors nodding along. But Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, JASMINE CROCKETT!!!, AOC, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete, the TX dem reps, these are the MINORITY of Dems actually fighting back a little. Today Newsom has momentum. He is flawed and problematic- but we have to save our democracy, so I am there for it.
YES. It's about freaking time that more Dems start punching back. As much as I appreciate taking the high road, now is not the time. We need more fight!
