Sure, but you have to weigh that against the other guy, who is straight up a fascist dictator narcissist convicted felon child abusing/rapist piece of sub-human shit.
Next to someone like that, even Newsom looks like a shining star.
I'm so fucking tired of hoping for the lesser of two evils
That is exactly what politics is: the least bad worst thing. It always has been and always will be.
Awesome, then you by default will be supporting the greater of two evils. Great choice.
Who isn't?
The problem is that the only way I can see to set up a system that will give the pick of the lesser vs greater good is to set up a system in which anyone who desires power has absolutely no channels to access said power. Basically you can only be president if you don't want to be president. This would cause all sorts of other issues such as rapid chains of abdication.
