Newsom’s message to the Democratic Party: Be more ‘culturally normal’ | CNN Politics
edition.cnn.com
California Governor Gavin Newsom sits down with CNN’s Dana Bash to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. He says the party should be “less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on pronouns, identity politics. More focused on tabletop issues, things that really matter — the stacking of stress in terms of the electricity bills and childcare costs and health care and obviously housing costs.”

      doubtful, hes always represented wealthy districts in his earlier political career, cant say much when he was the mayor of SF, since he likely became more"greedy" when he moved to a wealthier area.

    Culturally normal like chatting with Steve Bannon? And focus on kitchen table issues like vetoing caps to insulin prices? The fuck does this guy know about “culturally normal”?

    We all know his campaign is dead on arrival, it’s just weird that people keep treating him like a viable candidate. He’s not good enough at talking sincerely (or at least faking sincerely) to make a campaign about chastising his own party and seeking approval from our actual enemies work. He can skate by on controlled media appearances, but as soon as anyone actually presses him on his positions and history he’s going to come across as blue Mitt Romney.

    Give his social media manager a job working for someone who matters and stop wasting airtime on yet another vanity run by a rich man.

          Yeah, I think Fuentes as an open white nationalist is still a little scandalous (at least to the media) with Tucker Carlson and Trump. Newsom isn’t that thirsty yet, he likes his racism in dog whistle form so he can respectfully disagree.

    “Culturally normal” - This guy was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

    Edit: What’s normal is up for debate. Some said speaking about Palestine was not normal and that appears to have had a major impact on the last election.
