Gavin Newsom is the epitome of the liberal elite who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. He criminalizes homelessness instead of working to address its systemic causes and is deep in the pockets of corporate and wealthy donors. His whole appeal is just posturing against Trump. It boggles my mind that my mom likes the guy.

As a non-Californian I used to like him but that's because all the news coverage I saw was positive and focusing on thE "talk the talk".
Then I started to see more that was critical of his actions and my opinion changed.
It seems like the increased attention since January over his posturing seems to have highlighted his shortcomings too.
Newsom is just one more rich California family trying to establish a political dynasty.

The absolute worst thing we can do is settle for a neoliberal.
Because if we do, and they win the general, they get to install cro ies in the DNC after the election.
We need AOC regardless of if she thinks she's ready, sometimes you just gotta jump out of that plane.
They will do just what they did to Sanders. DNC will not allow AOC to be the nominee.
Then it's time for a new party.

This article is how I learned that Ken Jennings is now hosting the show. IIRC, that was the dude who had the longest win streak in the history of the show, wasn't he?
Judges will allow this answer since it is in the form of a question. A better answer would have been "Who had the longest running streak on Jeopardy?"
