Can someone explain to an outsider why this guy kept getting heralded as the next great Democrat leader? Every single thing I’ve read about him has been “Newsom deploys extra orphan crushing machines” and other nakedly Republican policies. Does he just have a huge bot farm working for him or something?
Fuck this guy.
If he joined Trumps cabinet tomorrow I would not be surprised in the least.
He is at the head of the Donorcrat party, because that lets him have a sustainable career. The Turdpublicans are the roman candle of conservative politics, burning brightly and burnt out swiftly.
He basically wants to do this for the rest of his life:
he already was pushing the envelope with nick fuentes, he was testing the water how far people would support him, if h hosted right wingers.
Just another corpo cuck who grandstands about “the good fight” or whatever on socials
I’m never fucking voting for this man. Look at me neolibs, never. If you want to lose the next election pick this fucker. It’ll be your fucking choice.
sadly he was the only choice in cali or a republican. and there will be another corporate stooge becoming the governer again.
He really doesn’t give a shit about pretending anymore. He knows his patrons have already financed his DNC nomination.
Scumbag, loser, pathetic.
Not as bad as a Republican can still be reay fucking bad.
he’s really cashing out at the end of his career isnt he. What a traitorous arsehole. People like him are why the democratic party is on the rocks.
Kimberly Guilfoyle’s ex is a piece of shit too? Surprised it didn’t work out between them.
Yep. I’m prepared to fight like hell in the primary, if we get one, to make sure he doesn’t make it on the ballot. If we don’t topple establishment leadership at the DNC this election though, they will force Newsom through regardless of what the primary shows, like with Bernie. The bigger fight is now.
I thought I heard the DNC already replaced its chairperson with someone more progressive
Ken Martin, they promoted him from running Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor party, which is our local Democratic party and generally is a bit left of the national party. I don’t know how progressive Martin himself is versus how much just kinda happened under him because of the party itself - Governor Tim Walz signed off on a lot of progressive stuff because he briefly oversaw a DFL trifecta and he and his party were willing to spend political capital to make good things happen but I wouldn’t consider Walz to be super progressive on his own.
Ken Martin is cause for a bit of optimism, he’s more progressive, but he may just be an amorphous blob of whatever machine he’s in front of.
Possibly-amorphous-blob is still better than an establishment centrist who will screw over progressives like they did to Bernie.
There’s a lot of leftward momentum right now, and as long as that isn’t actively hindered from the top, then I think we have reason to hope.
It’s not the end. I’d eat a random street hat if he doesn’t run for president. Pretty sure ego and ambition are secreted from his scalp and create his natural hair gel.
He’s been a sleeve ball his whole career. Fucking that guy
And there are still people thinking this corrupt asshole would be a good US President.
he was gaining unnatural amount of msm boosting. noticed how he stopped railing on trump after a few months, it was hurting him, but his billionaire donors told him to stop.
Millions of people
at this point i’d vote for a turd sammich if it wasn’t trump
Yes but you can vote against this asshole and be vocal about it so he doesn’t make it through the primaries.
agreed
Well, the good news is that you don’t have to vote for Newsom or Trump in the Democratic primary. Vote blue no matter who season is here for 2026, but we’re still comfortably in “kick the shitty corpo DINOs to the curb” season for 2028
thank flying sketi monster
That strategy has not worked the last 10 times we tried it, but maybe one more time will do the trick!
bro compared to the last year of trump?
a you fucking blind?
we’ve lost 40 years of progress, congrats on your moral victory
And we lost to Trump. A campaign needs to be more than “I’m not Trump”. Same shit almost lost Brazil to the fascists. “I’m not Trump” is good enough for informed voters, but that’s not enough. You have to reach the uninformed and misinformed too.
An actual well thought out platform would be great, but the oligarchs who own politics would never let that happen I’m afraid.
Dance Gavin Dance.
Voters never had a chance
The guy will never take a principled stance.
Newsom, in his veto letter to the legislature, said he was supportive of “protecting sensitive personal information of Californians,” but that a “categorical ban on sharing that information goes a step too far.”
The governor pointed to existing state laws that require businesses to give consumers the option to limit sharing their information and budget constraints that would hinder implementing and enforcing the law.
Newsom also signed a handful of other bills strengthening the state’s privacy rules:
- SB 923 expands the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act to require businesses to delete all personal information they have on a consumer upon request, not just data collected directly from the consumer. Online-only businesses will be required to provide a webform or portal for deletion requests.
- AB 883 shortens the time with which data brokers must comply with a data deletion request from 45 to 30 days. It requires elected officials and judges receive information on how to access the deletion mechanism, known as DROP, to protect their information.
Other data privacy laws still awaiting Newsom’s signature or veto include:
- SB 690 would remove the private right to action for alleged violations under a wiretapping law, allowing just the state attorney general to pursue such legal challenges.
- AB 2561 would prohibit an operating system or application from re-adjusting a user’s privacy setting without consent.
So they now must delete data when requested. Except if they SOLD THAT DATA then it can’t be deleted because it’s already out there. 30 days is fucking plenty of time.
Fucking slimey piece of shit.
That’s a safe stance. “We should kill all of the puppies!” Newsom: “I’m vetoing that!”. /s
Banning sensitive data sales = killing all puppies? Got it.
Anything that threatens capital is horror evidently
this is from a month ago.
If this fucking slime ball is the Democrat nominee in 2028 I’ll fucking vote for Trump 3 and the USA will have fucking deserved it. Jail this seditious traitor!
Of all the shit-tier takes, that is one of them.
Translation: “Americans, please let actual fascism win and endanger every minority group in the country if the Democrat isn’t perfect.”
No one likes Newsom and I think his chances of being the nominee in 2028 are fading, but if he is I will vote for him.
