I mean, I'm not clear how much I had to do with the results of any of the presidential elections I've voted in, but I can promise you that my potentially meaningless vote will not go to Gavin. I wish he weren't even my governor. 😭

Newsom's smiling tolerant neoliberal face of American fascism frightens me much more long term than dweebs like Steven Miller and Trump. I see Dems winning in 28 and using the same levers of power Trump is exploiting to bring back high stock market American imperialism that lasts longer than 2 years
