      Probably because Harris locked up millions for simple possession and Newsom bulldozed homeless camps for the CCCP

        Not to forget closing down breweries while leaving wineries open during COVID. While owning a winery. The kind of shit I expect of a morally compromised “rules are for thee, not for me” politician.

        Edit: forgot he also attended some fancy party while telling people to not attend large gatherings. The definition of what I just stated. I wrote him off a while ago.

      Personally, I dislike Harris because she’s “tough on crime” and a former DA. As someone who’s supported Sanders in the past, I’ve got no problem with direct politicians that don’t small talk well. I don’t know if you’ve ever spoken with Sanders but he has no tolerance for chit chat and isn’t particularly charismatic himself.

        Sanders has old professor charisma. He’s passionate and articulate about the issues that matter to him.

        But as he himself notes, and you point out, he’s not quite a ‘people person’, not one for small talk.

        Harris has less charisma than Hillary Clinton. She was a poor choice. And her establishment, prosecutorial background doesn’t help her with the left-leaning crowd.

      Newsom hasn’t done himself any favors lately with the bills he’s been vetoing

        He’s been endearing himself to party leadership with those vetoes.

        And it’s not like voters are ever gonna matter again in Democratic primaries.

          I’m well aware why he’s doing it. We’re talking about polling numbers among voters, not party leadership.

            If we learned anything from 2020, it was that voters choose whomever the media says is the “safe” candidate, and the media picks whomever the establishment tells them.
