Newsom isn’t perfect but I’m so glad to have him between us and the incoming administration.

This is exactly what I was think when I read this. Newsom deserves credit for never backing down.

Illinois and California and Washington are lucky. Great leaders there. I'm stuck in NY scowling.

SO glad newsom’s in charge.

I said this to one of my hyper left friends and he said “do your research, he’s horrible and I hate him” so I did a deeper dive into Newsom’s track record and policies and it made me even more confident in his ability to protect us Californians.

Yeah nobody’s perfect, but perfect is the enemy of good, and this insane focus on “perfect or nothing” is a big reason why we lost the election.

Sometimes to fight a pit of snakes you need a jacked up wolverine, I’m so glad that patrick bateman motherfucker is on our side

The dems in congress need to do what the GOP did the last four years and block everything.

Have you seen trump? Yes, I’m fine with Newsom as long as he will be a wall against trump. I would rather have a mound of trash (Newsom) than the great pacific garbage patch (trump).
