He's annoying but at least he's doing something. The salty comments and posts miss the point that nobody else is meeting the moment.
Yeah. I'm especially suspicious of the big influx of posts that are all of a sudden super-concerned about his progressive credentials, as if the most important thing right now that we're trying not to go to Trump-prison for making a Democratic campaign contribution, is what Gavin Newsom's homeless policy was like. But this one I posted because I do feel like it's pretty accurate to what I don't like about Gavin Newsom on a general personal level. But yeah, he's doing fine, it's good that he's trying to mess up Trump, I wish more people would.
What influx? It's a topic that's being talked about, but that's really it.
If you look back on my profile you can see me commenting on a couple of them (including return2ozma reposting something from 2023 because it was a good opportunity to shit on Newsom and then a bunch of people coming in the comments lecturing me on how important it was to shit on Newsom).
