Showing Original Post only (View all)Gov Newsome triangulating again. [View all]
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) thinks Democrats need to rein in some of their cultural politics if they want to win over more voters.
I think theres a broader narrative that we ought to address, Newsom said Wednesday at The New York Times DealBook Summit. We have to be more culturally normal. We have to be a little less judgmental.
The California governor didnt spell out what he meant by culturally normal, but he has recently been a critic of what he calls woke culture.

I guess he feels the need to move toward the center again to stay relevant

In the grand scheme of things, yes, only Republican politicians are judgmental.

We are judgmental of Nazis and fascists, nothing wrong with that. They are judgmental of non whites- big problem

He would have won -he's the only one to defeat Trump. Giving up incumbency was highly stupid.
