    Can someone explain to an outsider why this guy kept getting heralded as the next great Democrat leader? Every single thing I’ve read about him has been “Newsom deploys extra orphan crushing machines” and other nakedly Republican policies. Does he just have a huge bot farm working for him or something?

      He is charismatic and good looking and not poor or middle class, he makes richer, older people (ie. voters) feel good about themselves, and is a Democrat in California.

      None of those things are indicators of any kind of ethics or morality, but are all you need to become a politician.
