Part of the problem is the progressive in question is currently running for that seat, and is trailing in the polls. If Newsom had appointed her, it would have seemed like he was putting his thumb on the scales of the election. Butler might be an insider, but she's not running for election. She will finish out this term and step aside.
She advised Uber when it was fighting the law requiring app companies to grant employees normal benefits. That sort of shit flies in the face of any union work she may have done.
She could still choose to run if she wanted. I will not be surprised in the least if she does.
Then don't vote for her if she runs. Frankly I think people like you would have been mad no matter who Newsome appointed
Newsome can suck it. He bailed out PG&E. The lawyers responsible worked for PG&E at one point.
Newsome doesn't give a shit about anything except money, just like every other corporatist politician.
So what if he bailed out PG&E? What was the alternative, let the fucking grid collapse? You'd call him a corporatist no matter what he did. It's just more meaningless anger from a troll.
I'm a troll because I disagree with Newsome's value as a politician? No. My opinion differs from yours. I am presenting points, you're just saying, "so what?"
At least I'm standing with some sort of justification for my position instead of just saying, "whatever, dude."
Unrelenting, blind hatred isn't much of a position, dude
Same, bro. She lives in Maryland! Wtf. Why are defending this? She's not even a California resident.
She's a dual resident. Grow up
Man. That's the dumbest thing I've read all week. People have a primary residence and own secondary homes. Same BS argument was made about Herschel Walker when someone pointed out he was a resident of Texas and not of Georgia.
This blind hoop jumping to feel better is why we're going to lose to Trump. It's the same non-critical reasoning that allows people to think "13 points down in the polls? No problem."
I'm done with this. You win your internet points. You've sufficiently exhausted me.
Yes, it's incredibly stupid to be surprised a professional political lobbyist whose career has been focused on pushing for abortion rights wouldn't have a place to stay on the East Coast
