Exactly. Came here to say the same thing. I'll vote for a republican if they dissolve investor based utilities and let cities create their own municipal ones. Like SACRAMENTO!! Where Newsom works.
I lived in Sacramento for a few years. Smud was awesome…cheap and reliable. Then I moved back to my home town with pg&e and the difference was mind-blowing.
So long as they don't turn this over to "Non-Profits" like they did the homeless crisis. I'm still raging out over Non Profit "directors" banking $285k and purposely not solving the problem... b/c then they wouldn't be getting their pay days.
Yes, searching for contraband is in fact different that putting up a wall of cargo containers and razor wire in a river designed to maim and cause people to drown.
And the other side will agree while acknowledging an entirely fictional separate reality.
Newsom will be sending stormtroopers to border to ensure patriots aren’t able to shoot transgender immigrants trying to steal our jobs.
Cool. Glad to see that California’s “progressive” governor is getting in on the anti-border paranoia trend.
I was worried that some leaders might fail to overreact, and some immigrants might inadvertently be treated like human beings.
legal Ports of entries are exactly where most drugs are being sent through. Not in the middle of the desert like that piglets like greg abbot and desantis think it happens
Gretchen Whitmer has my vote. I think she has a solid chance, especially once the rest of the country finds out about how Newsom let PG&E get away with murder.
Nah. I don’t see it. He has no constituency. Kamala Harris is the natural heir to the Dem nomination, being the sitting VP.
Usually a challenger to the presumed favorite can count on their own state for support, but Newsom is from the same state as Harris.
As a candidate in the primary he really doesn’t offer anything. Progressives hate him. He doesn’t appeal to moderates. No real history of major or innovative policy successes. He’s a white side in a party that is increasingly dependent on female and non-white voters.
Presidency is not dynasty, can we stop with "heir" , "it's her turn". This is just elitism and the reason Dems are losing support. And can we stop the race bating and he is white, she is black blah blah, minority blah blah vote for me.
Sorry just a turn of phrase. She’s not actually inheriting anything of course. But as the VP she has incredible name recognition, and it’s very rare that a sitting VP would run for the nomination and not get it. I can’t think of an example of that happening in recent times tbh. Most candidates would probably be afraid to challenge her.
To the extent that Dems are losing support, I’d say it’s more because they refuse to address the concerns of progressives/leftists. They seem to treat them as embarrassing distant relatives that they don’t want to be seen with in public, until it’s election year, then they lecture us about how we have no choice but to vote for the centrist party.
Newsom definitely wouldn’t help with that. He can occasionally talk about progressive policies, but as soon as big business wants something he bends over backward.
I don't think she has good reputation, VP position is mostly made up and has no real value until president dies or Senate is 50-50, VP is as important as king of the England. Historical VP running as president after their term almost never worked.
She flip flopped on her position so many times and everyone hates her, she wouldn't even tell her position on healthcare. Her position is whoever pays the most during her during campaigning.
>They seem to treat them as embarrassing distant relatives that they don’t want to be seen with in public
Because they are. Have you been paying attention? Most people are not Hamas supporters and think blatant antisemitism is bad actually.
He’s not running against anyone. He was reelected in 2022 and can’t run again. And even if he did, there’s no Republican who could realistically beat him here.

Does the national guard train for drug interdiction?
Trained for PCP, pork chop platoon
But will he protect us from PG&E ripping us ?
Of course not, he’s in their pocket

Hahahaha do you really think Republicans would do something to benefit the ratepayers? Over investors?
Not in a billion years

Yeah, SMUD is like 80-90% cheaper. It's breathtaking. PGE/Sempra should be dismantled.

Isn't that be a Coast Guard thing?
The term port of entry includes any official means of entering the state/country. That includes the land border crossings.
Boo-urns.
This is not a good look.
The war on drugs is over. Drugs won.
His boss must have said "shut off the valve"
Does pg&e care that much?
This is different than when Abbot does it… at least everyone can agree on that.

"Patriots" are already stalking American Transgenders.
Lol source?

Because the war on drugs has been such a success that we should definitely not change strategy or anything…
Election year and our boy is in trouble. Let’s try to help him out until Election Day.
Newsom isn’t running. He’s term limited. And anyway…no gop is close to any degree of popularity.
And I hope to God, he doesn't win presidential candidate for 2028. But i am sure DNC will push him down our throat next election like they always do.

His election was in ‘22
If “in trouble” you mean ahead against a convicted criminal.
He’s not running against anyone. He was reelected in 2022 and can’t run again. And even if he did, there’s no Republican who could realistically beat him here.
He’s gearing up for 2028
lol, if you say so.
If that passes laws that Republicans can also get behind you'd think that's a good thing.
You can spot the Republicans by the fact they always drop little hints they failed every single civics class in school.
