I agree with you. He’s 100% rallying up a presidential bid, and what worries me most is I see other liberals idolizing him, reposting his tweets at Trump, praising him as able to destroy Trump… Who knows if we’ll even have an election, but Newsom’s sure poising himself to waltz right in.
People need to stop posting Newsom tweets, and instead post content like this that frames Newsom as the corporate shill he is. Newsom is crushing homeless encampments, Newsom created the “CARE” courts that stripped autonomy from the mentally ill, Newsom is attacking transgender youth; and Newsom is going to continue doing all of this, harder, to poise himself as a “middle ground” between rational people and fascists – instead of upholding his responsibility to protect California residents.
It seems like he’s been on a warpath in recent months, attempting to tackle Trump in as many positions as possible.
I’ve at least noticed him a lot more on social media than other politicians.
I think the way he’s positioning himself is smart.
I don’t think he’s good though. He says a lot that seems to be alright, but i agree with you. He gives me politician vibes like the majority of american and canadian politicians. In it for the money and power. Tbh I feel like the whole system needs to be replaced.
My fear is that, in the event that we get a fair 2028 election, Gavin Newsom will be pioneered as the golden child, as Joe Biden was in 2020 – drowning out the actual Leftist voices. Then those progressives are pressured to drop out because this election is sooo important. Cue a Newsom presidency where we get 4 years of macro-economic recovery while the common folk suffer, and then the cycle repeats.

I would put money on that. Seems to be how things play out as the years go on
