And people wonder why I dislike Newsom and his Democratic allies. They’re experts at passing laws and crafting ballot measures which sound progressive, but are actually schemes for padding the pockets of wealthy interests. Raising sales taxes which disproportionately impact poor people, only every trying to address the housing crisis with more construction of houses, even cleverly passing a measure for funding ecological projects that give capitalists an opportunity to profit(it’s been a bit since I heard about the details, but it was in the last election and I was blown away by their ingenuity).
Our state is not some shining beacon of liberalism, but fucked by capitalism just like everywhere else.
And yet, even with this dude they don’t have a shred of evidence of left-wing involvement.
