The fact that liberals and centrists look at Gavin Newsom and think he isn't their enemy is one of the most depressing indicators of how screwed the US is.

    Along with the fact all it takes is saying things not actions. Bonus when literally just from their PR person

    To be fair, I kind of get it.

    After seeing so many other prominent Dems (inexplicably) 'taking the high road', which means doing basically nothing, even seeing one mock the regime in sassy social media posts is refreshing and attention-grabbing.

    For all of his many, many, many faults, he's one of the few who has dared to 'take the gloves off' when fighting the fascists ... even if it's actually only in the form of online shitposts. People are desperately thirsty for someone to rally behind and take these fascist fuckers down.

    That's the best part. There's still a ton of people think Democrats will be the saviors of democracy.

    Look. I don't like Gavin, and really don't want him to be on the ballot. But if comes down to him or Vance, or god forbid Trump running again I'm voting for Gavin.
