    Gavin Newsom is the epitome of the liberal elite who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. He criminalizes homelessness instead of working to address its systemic causes and is deep in the pockets of corporate and wealthy donors. His whole appeal is just posturing against Trump. It boggles my mind that my mom likes the guy.

      Millions of beds in homeless shelters gave been built with his programs, yes, he does the bullshit harm tactics, but he’s spent way more money on real solutions than any other CA governor. One of the attack points Republicans have come up with is attacking him on the ‘‘rise in in homelessness by millions’’ what they don’t say is that stat is coming from the millions of homeless people who are now being counted as they have shelters to sleep in now. They are calling it a rise because the number isn’t a guess anymore because they have shelter. Don’t fall for the bullshit. We have to not punish the politics that are actually spending money where he want it.

      As a non-Californian I used to like him but that’s because all the news coverage I saw was positive and focusing on thE “talk the talk”.

      Then I started to see more that was critical of his actions and my opinion changed.

      It seems like the increased attention since January over his posturing seems to have highlighted his shortcomings too.
