in every single election. Yet we still got tsf twice in 2 out of 3 elections and ended up with a Republican majority in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court.

It's great to focus on policy once in office, but unfortunately it's not going to win elections. As much as people say they want issue driven campaigns the results of these elections show differently. Trump's mocking, bullying, and fear baiting was obviously more effective. It's sad that too many people don't do their own research, or think about which policies make the most sense to improve their lives, and others lives too. It's pretty obvious they don't or tsf and his trained pyschophants would have won squat.

So go Newsom. I truly think his main goal is showing the blatant hypocrisy of the other side and how much the misidentified "liberal," press are really just a bunch of right wing corporate ass kissers and apologists!
