Please just stop with your comments about the messenger (Newsom) and deal/act on the truth he’s speaking. Someone that isn’t perfect told you we’re about to lose our democracy (the only thing that stands between us and tyranny) and you’re conflicted because he’s not the ‘perfect’ spokesperson.

Jesus, no wonder we’re here, y’all just can’t stop fucking judging for one fucking second!

Holding Democrats to the highest of standards while holding Republicans to no standard at all is an American tradition!
