    Newsome has to get the legislature to put it on the ballot, Californians have to approve it. The nonpartisan redistricting commission was created by referendum and can only be changed by referendum. It’s good that he’s supporting the initiative and pushing it. Pat on the head for that.

    But you ever noticed Newsome doesn’t fight for shit unless it personally affects him? Round up immigrants and send them to El Salvador? Newsome doesn’t want to even talk about that cause he thinks it’s a political loser for him personally. Trans kids being discriminated in sports? Newsome thinks he’d do better in a presidential election if he’s a little bigoted since Kamela got hit on the issue, so fuck trans kids. Trump rounding up immigrants in LA, big meh from newsome. However, Trump takes over Newsome’s national guard, now newsome is ready to fight. Republicans rigging the House which could mean a president Newsome would have to deal with a Republican house, now he’s going to the mat.

    So yeah, glad Newsome is doing a thing for once (or more accurately supporting the citizens being able to do the thing), but he’s still a piece of shit.

      Don’t let perfection stand in the way of good. Is Newsome the candidate I want? Fuck na. Is this better than what we’re seeing from most of our leadership. Fuck ya.

      Sometimes you need a dick to fuck the assholes so they stop shitting all over the place.

        If this were Reddit I’d spend like $100 to give this animated shooting meteors and permanently stickied to the top of /r/all

        As it is, I may need to get this turned into a T-shirt on Etsy
