The people who are most familiar with Gavin Newsom's policies and his *actual* record are the ones saying he's a terrible candidate. People who care very much about winning, whose lives depend on it.

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires.

I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

Gavin Newsom spent the last 7 years doing the bidding of big tech. You can blame him for many of the harms we're now suffering. We have spent the last 7 years trying to keep our unhoused neighbors alive despite Newsom's best efforts to make more people homeless while he and his friends get richer.

why is it always bowling? my downstairs neighbor is doing whatever this is on a near-nightly basis and she has somehow managed to make it sound like it's happening on her ceiling. I didn't know you could even reverse-upstairs-neighbor someone.

Update: morbid symptoms can't hold us back - we're doubling down on what we do best.

truthfully I can't really explain this one anyway, because it's from my folder of images that seem like there's a joke to be made about them but there's actually nothing more to be said.
