Gavin Newsom fully admits here that he cares more about the race to be the American Empire’s next cheerleader than a vote for a proposition that actually fucking matters.
These local referendums in CA for propositions are one of the few elections that actually matter. Proposition 36 would essentially criminalize homelessness and poverty, increase prison time for nonviolent offenders and potentially even hold drug dealers liable for murder for people overdosing.
Its absolutely horrendous, is polling with overwhelming support and Gavin Newsom is too busy campaigning to be Kamalas next HUD secretary or whatever.
To oppose it? He already pretty much ordered localities to enforce it or lose state funding.
He was the biggest proponent of “removing the homeless”. If it weren’t for him the Supreme Court probably wouldn’t have even ruled on it.
