      Because he wants to run for president and basically doesn’t want to alienate anyone except the super die hard Trump supporters he couldn’t win anyway. For everything else he’s spineless and a career politician

        Cool, because everything he says isolates the progressive base that he is going to need to win. Newsome will get absolutely pummeled in any national elections

          The last few elections have taught them that they don’t need to win over the progressives. They need to capture that centrist/center-right majority that are looking for a reason to ditch the Republican Party. I expect they’ll lean into that in the mid-terms and in 2028.

            Yet they and all their blue MAGA fanatics attack every leftist who criticizes them and/or refuses to support them cause “you not supporting us will cause us to lose and the fascists to win!!!” ignoring that libs are also vile fascist trash.

            It’s like the lesson they learned was to run a white guy to win over the misogynistic racist voting block.

      Because he wants to make explicitly clear that he is a good guy who plays by the rules, ignoring the fact that the bad guys are currently writing the rules so the good guys will allways loose.
