    And so it begins. Abandon all progressive ideas to appeal to the “centrist”, only to lose to the fascist again. I hate it here.

          Yeah and while he’s probably not enough of a progressive, he also might not be bothering with the billionaire tax because the billionaires would all just fly off Hawaii or Nevada or Jackson Hole or wherever to avoid paying it anyway.

          It needs to be nationwide, but Newsom probably wouldn’t do that as president either. Too many billionaire pals and donors.

            That basically never actually happens. See: New York.
