California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a law Sunday that would have expanded the state’s privacy protections to ban the sales of online users’ sensitive information, breaking with a group of states that have prohibited the practice.
I agree that Newsom is a billionaire-class anti-progress piece of shit, but this seems like a “cross the bridge when we come to it” situation. Progressives have a lot of momentum right now and there’s a good chance the nominee in 2028 will be one.
Attention is power in politics. Hating him gives him power. It’s okay to critique and inform, but don’t let it consume you. That’s how trump got traction. If all we can offer to the political conversation is who sucks, then we’re going to wind up with somebody who sucks.
Focus on someone better. Who do you want to win the primary? Start extolling their virtues, spread the word. Who is an ideal candidate?
