He’s a slimy, self-serving, two-faced neoliberal villain.
But right now, he’s the villain we have to team up with to fight a much, much, much worse villain. Just don’t forget that he’s not our friend and would happily burn us all alive for some modest corporate kickbacks.
He’s only opposing fascists because his attempt to join them failed. He’s trying to walk a thin line of not pissing them off too much and getting them to think he’s worth recruiting. He’ll join them if they offer.
Hosting his brand new podcast with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon, the some of the most evil propagandists of the 21st century, was more extreme than we’d ever seen of him. He basically capitulated to a bunch of their talking points and acted like their positions weren’t previously too radical to platform amongst Democrats. It read to me as an attempt to not get targeted by upcoming violent purges and jail time, but after that failed he moved on to this cringe “own Trump on socials” strategy.
On the other hand, he might not have failed to join them, instead acting explicitly as controlled opposition.
He’s a bigoted hyper privileged piece of shit caricature of an 80s movie villain who got into politics because the city said ‘no’ to something about his wine bar where the chairs were arranged into the word ‘sex’. Hes totally owned by silicon valley cryptofascist tech billionaires.
He’s basically genx ‘what if trump wasnt developmentally disabled’.
I don’t know anything about Newsom, but I do know that I like his current strategy.

When did he “attempt to join them”? Not defending slimy Newsom, but what?

Oh, I think he’d hold out for fairly massive corporate kickbacks. He knows what they can afford.
The epitome of limousine liberal.
Completely owned by Big tech and VC.
Everything he’s doing now is for his presidential run, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to any of it.
At this point, we’ll take what I can get, and he knows that.

Is this what fedposting looks like?
It was more an expression of frustration with the situation. I wish he wasn’t the direction we were heading, because he’s such a piece of shit.

Which is better, but let’s not cheer for him.
