I live in CA. I wish my fellow citizens would be honest about Newsom.

[@ericedwards8476]

I also live in California and Gavin Newsome is a corrupt politician who has done nothing for our state. He never did anything as a mayor either

can we as the United States just not let newsome become president? Please?

We will Recall him this time!! Support “Reform CAlifornia” and DeMaio!!

The folks in his pocket. He shares his theft to insulate himself from losing power - with CA teachers Union, biggest in the country I think. The state employees, PG&E, his aunty, Nancy Pelosi, the funding for the invisible Bullet train. More , but to be as big a thief as Newsom you need an army. Think, how does Putin get away with what he does, the corrupted “military” because they get the rewards.

[@johneverett3947]

As a third generation, Californian, I get so tired of people, saying California voted for something and that’s what they get. There is a tremendous difference between urban and rural California. As in most large cities there’s a large population of radical and liberal ideologies that have no base in reality. We have tried to recall Newsom twice and both times additional votes have Magically been found for him at the last minute after extensive searching past the day of the vote. All voting should be in person with proof of citizenship, and counted on the same day, period. If you feel your vote is not important enough to be in person with ID it should not be counted. Citizenship requires commitment.
