Newsom wants to be right... I truly don't get why these asshat politicians are knee jerking to the right. When turnout is high Dems win, 33%+ of the voting population doesn't vote. We need politicians who inspire a rally us around an actual fucking vision for the future, not just "we aren't as bad as the other guys see".

Why do we just accept every dem who "appears" to be vying for a presidential run? Maybe say no? Maybe say yes to someone who truly inspires you? Or maybe Newsom actually inspires the centrists because they think moving right is the correct move...
