even more cynically: i don’t think this will matter.

consider biden: we have 50+ years of documentation including videos showing his vote against gay marriage; advocating against lgbtq in federal service; siding with pro-segregationists; and attacking feminist supporters in every event (esp anita hill); yet today’s voters still call him the most progressive presidential candidate we’ve ever had despite other candidates having a MUCH more flawless records.

so unless you’ve suffered or are close to someone who have suffered at the hands of the candidate, you’re going to ignore all the bad shit he’s done and condemn those who point out his reprehensibility. that means that newsom won’t have to worry about anything unless the homeless and poor somehow became a sizeable voting block.
