newsome made it clear what he supports earlyon, if people voted for him and acts surprised its on them.
So did Biden, but a lot of people voted Biden in 2020 because they thought "Dems are for free healthcare, free college, ending wars, anti-covid, defunding police, all the good things, and Biden is a dem".
In 2028, if Newsom wins the primary, you will hear how he is the most progressive ever, and if he wins the general, how unpopular and unworkable progressive policy is. Followed by half the dem voters staying home in 2030 and 32.
