    He doesn’t need to switch parties though, the leadership is on board with throwing trans women under the bus and approving GOP spending bills.

      Yet they can’t figure out why the Democrats are considered “toxic” right now, and their ratings are in the shitter.

      California isn’t loving his schtick. I hope we vote him out in 2026 for governor. We’ll see how that works for his presidential asperations. What a moron

          He’s setting up a go at the presidency. He knows that the DNC will want him to lean conservative, but he doesn’t want to be painted as flip flopping or pandering, so he’s leaning into it early. Now when the GOP inevitably calls him a woke far left extremist (or whatever buzz words they’re using by that time) he can point back to this period as proof that he’s “always been a centrist” who can appeal to non-MAGA conservatives.

          Of course, he and the rest of the DNC haven’t figured out yet that conservative voters are NEVER going to vote for the LESS conservative party.

        Source: Gavin Newsome on Joe Rogan. (I don’t know about the spending bills but the trans stuff. it was like 2 or 3 weeks ago I think. Time works differently in a Trump admin.)

          Don’t forget that asshole filed an amicus brief supporting the Supreme Court decision that you can arrest homeless people even if they’re only camping outside because there’s no shelter space

            He’s been consistent about putting the boot into the homeless since he was mayor of SF.
