Newsome keeps trying to reach out to younger voters, but it’s always in such… performative ways. It’s never him listening or signaling he concurs on issues they care about.
It always feel like an effort to inform them that he exists, become a familiar figure, as if the issue that Democratic candidates have been having was lack of visibility.
But the issue is a misalignment of values and goals, not that people haven’t seen them get interviewed on a popular platform.

Look, I’m just gonna say it. Fuck Gavin Newsom. If Gavin wants my vote hell have to disavow his meeting of the minds with Charlie Kirk as him meeting with a fucking fascist. He’d have to abandon his support of silicon valley oligarchs outright and vow to tax then into nonexistence. He’d have to make homelessness legal in California and set up housing for the unhoused with clear social safety nets designed to uplift then financially and socially. And he’d have to defend Trans people’s rights to play in sports as the gender they identify as.
But we all know Gavin is just more of the same Democratic bullahit with slightly more combative language. I suspect he’d make as bad a President as Kamala would have been, or worse. If there is a presidential election next cycle, it’ll likely come down to Newsom vs a Charlie Kirk wannabe or some Nick Fuentes Groyper.
Don’t let that happen, don’t compromise your ideals. Call out everything wrong with every Democratic candidate, so vehemently it’ll make any centrist’s ears bleed. If a candidate accepted campaign contributions from anyone other than small donors, fuck em. You aren’t their constituency if they do.
Lean so far left the whole country tips over.

Gavin is classic political slime. Honestly he’d be a very good mayor. Governator has given him too much confidence.
Let the slime dream of being president Rimaru if it keeps him working.
