General Discussion

My take is that any corporate spotlight on his personality or his power or rhetoric mostly overlooks his literally doing democracy.

DOING Democracy enables agency of We The People.

We should always remember that while his spotlight feels great, gives us hope (to act in hope, because hope isn't just a feeling)...
It's what Newsom and CA Democrats are actually DOING that enables us to ACT ourselves to preserve democratic power to re-establish rule of law of, by, and for The People.

So the WE in the Party have to take it from there. We will still have to donatedonatedonate, canvass, register, knock on doors, (even talk to religious folk) and fight like hell to GOTV, because no amount of redistricting will automatically win these elections. Mamdani, Warnock and Ossoff are great models of what we have to do against corporate headwinds -- no niggling, grumbling, or falling for any more corporate BS hype about messaging problems.
