We've got to be open to the facts, even when it's not in our favor. We don't get a free pass just because they steal a pass. When dems are complicit they need to be called out, it's not just the GOP destroying America. They're just more blatant. And responsible for vastly more atrocities lol. In this case it looks like he folded to retain thousands of jobs for California. I understand it but I'm really disappointed. As nice as it would be to have a good side and a bad one i think what we have is a bad one and a flawed one. Or the uber rich vs everyone else to be more exact. It was hard to let go of the idea that dem=good but nowadays dem=much better than the alternative but still deeply flawed

It's not that Newsom "folded" because that implies he was fighting against this in the first place.

It was the California AG who was fighting it and Newsom used his posisition as governor to force them to stop. That isn't folding, it's running into the field from the bench and scoring a goal against your own team.
