Reading things like this make me think Newsom is exactly the kind of terrible person the Democrats will have on the Presidential ballot in 2028. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Yeah... there's no going back to pre-Trump days even when/if Democrats win (not saying pre-Trump days were perfect).

Republicans are 100% corrupt, Democrats only 90%.

But we also need to distinguish between legal and illegal corruption, which makes the Democrats look better than that.

Not that I approve of legal corruption (aka lobbyism).
