Unsurprisingly, there has been little indication the American progressive left perceives Newsom as deserving anything but disdain. Recent weeks have only bolstered the sense that committing to the abolition of ICE is a prerequisite for any remotely moral candidate in 2028. If Newsom fails to become that candidate, it will not be because he appeared too left-wing, but because he lacked the guts or the inclination to be anything except what he manifestly is: a preening political operator, beholden to a status quo that no longer exists.
Yeah, Newsom would be an extremely depressing dystopian candidate. I want Ro Khanna or AOC. Or either one as president and vice president.
Ro Khanna is just lighting things up this year. Very pleased with everything he’s been doing
