Gavin Newsom’s Biggest Problem Is Gavin Newsom

[DreamQuill]

Newsom's problem is that he's like a liberal version of Trump - all talk, no action . He claims to be progressive but his actions are super centrist . I mean, come on, who attends the World Economic Forum and scolds European leaders for being soft on Trump? It's just not cool.

And don't even get me started on his podcast . Sitting down with far-right celebs like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk is just a big PR stunt. Newsom thinks he can make himself look reasonable by pretending to disagree with them, but really he's just trying to appease the right-wing elite .

What's concerning is that he's more willing to compromise than genuinely challenge the status quo . He's like, "Hey, I'll do a little bit of this and that, but let's not rock the boat too much" . That's not how you create real change.

The progressive left needs to be super vigilant about who they're supporting . We need candidates who are willing to take bold action against corporations and billionaires, not just make empty promises or pretend to care . Anything less is just perpetuating the same old system of inequality .

I'm getting really frustrated with Gavin Newsom . He's like the ultimate example of a politician who doesn't know what he stands for anymore. On one hand, he's supposed to be a progressive, but his actions are super centrist. Like, where's the fire in that belly?

I'm reading all these articles about how he's friends with billionaires and stuff like that... it just doesn't add up . I mean, if you're gonna claim to represent the people, shouldn't you be fighting against those who have way too much power? It's like, what's next?

And don't even get me started on his podcast with Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk... that's just a total sellout. I mean, come on, Gavin! You're supposed to be a leader, not some right-wing wannabe .

It's like the progressive left needs to wake up and realize that we can't keep electing politicians who are just gonna roll over for the corporate elite . We need people who are willing to take risks and fight for real change . Anything less is just a waste of time .

I'm low-key worried about Gavin Newsom tho... he's like, super rich and stuff & has a podcast with Ben Shapiro lol what's up w/ that?! but for real, I think his pro-corp stance is whack. He needs to step up w/ some real change or just keep on being the corporate sellout that everyone thinks he is

Newsom's ties to billionaires is super shady . I mean, who needs enemies when you can have billionaire pals? His stance on the billionaire tax was a major red flag - it shows he's more concerned with corporate interests than his own party's values . And that Davos trip? More like a corporate PR stunt . The fact that he's palling around with Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk is just embarrassing . Progressives need to wake up and realize that Newsom's not the progressive hero they thought he was . We need leaders who are willing to take on big corporations, not ones who are too busy sucking up to them .

I'm just not sure how much more centrist you can get before you lose all credibility on the left. Newsom's record is all over the place - he talks about progressivism but seems to be courting billionaires instead of challenging their power. It's like, if you're gonna call yourself a progressive, don't go around hanging out with Trump-loving billionaires at Davos .

And let's not forget his podcast! I mean, Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk are basically the anti-Christ to progressives. If Newsom is trying to seem reasonable by sitting down with them, he might as well be speaking a different language.

I'm starting to think that what really matters here isn't whether Newsom is "too liberal" or "too centrist", but how much he's willing to move towards the right to appease corporate interests. Like, if you're gonna claim to represent the progressive left, don't be afraid to take on the powerful .

Newsom needs to prove to me that he's more than just a talking head; he needs to put his money (and his values) where his mouth is . Otherwise, we'll just keep seeing token gestures and platitudes from politicians who are too scared to take on the status quo.
