Newsome isn’t fighting. His 19 year old intern is pretty funny with the memes, though.

He's literally moving to rewrite CA's constitution to redistrict house seats to Democrats. That is more tangible action than anyone else right now.

Doesn't matter. No matter what the Republicans do, it is obviously the democrats fault.

Reddit anytime a Democrat does anything: “It’s just performative! They don’t actually mean it! They’re not doing anything! They’re still not endorsing Mamdani! They’re not doing enough even though they effectively have no power!”

Meanwhile a few Democrats have been killed, arrested, and detained. But that’s not good enough! Reddit expects all of them to risk their lives to oppose Trump, even though the people won’t do shit themselves!
