Seems pretty clear that he’s trying to burnish his national reputation for a presidential run.
Fuck you very much, Newsom.
Definitely.
Right leaning Democrats do so well in elections. /s
Was wondering what the actual hell was up with his string of vetoes lately.
Maybe he sees himself as the 2028 Dem nominee and wants to demonstrate he's not an evil socialist to the non-crazy Republicans...
I certainly hope not - any D is better than none, but he's one of those who least align with the collective interests of most.
Non-crazy republicans... Sorry, but until they unequivocally stand up and reject Trump, they're all irredeemably crazy.
I thought he was vetoing things in order to be fiscally conservative? How does stifling commerce and blocking the potential for greater tax revenue align with that goal?
He’s vetoing things to create a record of centrist policy decisions in the run up to his inevitable presidential bid. It’s careerism, any other justification he provides is just smoke.
god this fucking sucks -- and the fact that this is part of the mechanism for running for president, making shitty austere choices to appeal to fucking ghouls with power they shouldn't have and/or centrist dipshit undecided voter dipshits. so so deeply stupid and labyrinth and fucked in so many ways
I stood up for Newsom for his CalRX. He would have kept my respect for allowing cannabis Cheers to be a thing. We need a third place back.
Wtf, man? Did you finally give in to how you look and become evil corporate fuck-face man?
He need to work on financial reform for the industry. They need to be able to park their money in real banks.
Didn't I just fucking say yesterday that I was tired of this fucker being middling as shit?
I did?
Literally my last comment on Lemmy?
Fucking hell Gavin
If newsom wants to be president, I think he should have passed this bill.
fucking neolib cunt
Can't wait to not vote for him, really outstanding work dipshit.
Never trust someone named Gavin, or people with a goatee. Rules to live by.
Man is on a L veto spree.
