    Can we stop being stupid?

    This doesn’t mean he thinks billionaires shouldn’t pay more taxes. It means it’s childish and stupid to focus on a single number when it comes to actual policy.

        You know what stupid not seeing this for what it is. Pandering to billionaires for campaign contributions.

        Jesus christ, you guys are such excitable morons. Newsome will undo Trump’s tax cuts. Everyone knows that, including billionaires.

        Keep calling me stupid when you believe in some dumbfuck baseless conspiracy theory that Newsome raising taxes SOMEHOW won’t affect billionaires so they’ll give him money.

        More bullshit unsubstantiated lies from MAGA’s best friend, phoney fucking “prorgressives” who can’t think past fucking buzzwords.

          I don’t believe any of that lol. I’m just pointing out that newsom is using his limited television time to proposition the 1% and not the 99% because he’s positioning for a presidential run. So I mean just keep throwing up oligarchs into government and let’s see how it plays I guess. Sounds crazy doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Maybe if we just got a little more money next election we can win. And then we’ll start with those socialist policies and wealth redistribution away from Newsom’s donors.

          I was literally stating my opinion on an article and it hurt your feelings. You commented and my response hurt your feelings. And now you’re projecting me as the faceless persons using politics to hurt your feelings.

          Interacting with people is hard, maybe you should give up?

          Are you OK bud? Do you really call me stupid and not even grasp the formation of your own words? Like having bad reading comprehension for your own thoughts is really something else.

      Most of the political issues I’m dealing with stem from wealth inequality. That makes me a single issue voter. Perhaps that is childish.

        And when has putting in Republicans in power improved wealth inequality? You’re a single issue voter helping the party that opposes said issue. Pretty fucking embarrassing.

          Weird because I went and voted for Kamala last November. Newsom isn’t running for any office yet. He’s just being an online troll, and positioning. While I appreciate the attempt to update the political strategy…. Idk if being republican light is the answer. Here’s a strategy, try to win an election only on policy without billionaires funding you in a quid pro quo manner.

          Oh, I’m super sorry I hurt your feelings, maybe if you weren’t strawman people no one would be so mean to you. I guess I’ll be more restrained next time. Or you can try, it’s never been my strong suit.
