    Realize, this has always been him. He is NOT a liberal. He is a conservative who calls himself a democrat.

        Government-mandated age verification stuff on private hardware is basically the opposite of liberal though

          Those who call themselves liberal have been doing shit like this for so long that this rank hypocrisy is part of what it means to be liberal.

          If liberals don’t like it, they should have had some integrity instead of ridiculing the concept as a “purity test.”

      He is still overwhelmingly liberal and progressive. Calling him conservative is insane.

        He is basically as conservative as you can be here in California while holding a state wide elected position and even that may not be true anymore with how things have shifted since the last governor election. Point is he is generally on the more conservative end of Californian politics, hell I know some Schwarzenegger style conservatives who are more progressive than him.
