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.
I would say I am concerned when he is willing to capitulate on my rights as a trans woman. I don't have any interest in him being the next face of the party
