Gavin realizing he will never be president, so he is trying to secure his future as a Silicon Valley lobbyist.
Absolute scumbag
Shocking, the guy who was caught at a 2020 dinner party at French Laundry during the pandemic when he had asked Californians to avoid group gatherings for the Thanksgiving holiday.
This billionare tax should be the easiest win ever. Why would anyone vote against it if they weren't getting paid to do so?
If that headline was only the first 8 words, he would have my vote
People like him, HRC and DWS are the reason Bernie wasn't the DNC candidate in 2016...and are why we're in the mess we're in right now.
Trump didn't win in 2016, HRC lost.
They were too scared Bernie would expose their crimes and corruption, and now we're living in the Turd Reich.
EDIT: DWC should have been DWS
Social democratic policies were also just not as popular in 2016 as they are now. In just a few weeks, a full decade will have passed since 2016.
In 2016, people more or less took American democracy for granted. The voters never knew about the danger that Trump's ideology posed to the republic. This was following eight years of Obama, so right-wingers were thought of as fundamentally just people with bad policy ideas and not people intent on destroying democracy.
Only since then have people really started coming around to social democracy, democratic socialism, and other left-wing ideas. Over time, people have begun to realise, Bernie was right.
It really is too bad that Bernie is so old. He deserves a good retirement, but given the current political climate, he's going to keep fighting for the working class until the bitter end.
He reminds me a lot of HRC. We know he exists to run for president, but we know very little about what he actually stands for. We know what he's against.
He's a hater, not a leader.
Who is DWC?
I think they mean Debbie wasserman-schultz ?
The C should have been an S.
Upvote (for everyone), and i'll fix that
This dude will let you down every time, trust me.
Newsom is a fine example of the kind of democrat that needs to go.
The one good thing here is he's made it clear who's his boss (and it isn't the people)
Feel like an outlier here, but creating a billionaire tax at the state level seems ridiculous, and would actually harm the state. It is so easy to move the money outside the jurisdiction of that state to another when you are that wealthy, so the only effective way to implement would be at the federal level. Can someone help me understand why a state level billionaire tax makes sense?
Somebody has to do it, and waiting for the death of the filibuster to have anything get done is a terrible idea
If it's so easy to move, why are they fighting it?
Taxes need to be raised for the wealthy at the Federal level. Prop 40 is a one time, performative scheme that will spend years in court being struck down. But if it gets you guys to vote, fine.
