I’ve got mixed feelings on Newsom. He’s definitely part of the corporate Democrat enclave but he’s also a reasonably effective governor. He’s called the DNC out for not being aggressive enough, but I simultaneously doubt that Newsom would represent any meaningful change to that status quo. He kind of feels like Obama 2.0 to me. He’d be over hyped on the left as the second coming of FDR, and on the right as the second coming of Lenin himself, and in practice he’d be another pretty centrist pro-imperialist/corporatist.
