Its certainly more likely that Newsom would stand up to Netanyahu than Trump or any other GOP bootlicker would.  Why do you keep dodging the comparisons to what the fascists are doing now? You might be right that on some issues, Newsom would be no different. But answer these questions honestly, Do you think Newsom would suspend due process? Do you think Newsom would direct Ice to anonymously kidnap people off the streets to be sent to a foreign torture prison never to be seen again? Do you think Newsom would create and use an alligator concentration camp? Do you think Newsom would deploy US marines against American protestors? Do you think Newsom would abolish the Department of Education? And so on. And then ask yourself if it makes sense to support someone who wouldnt do those things over someone that would? You are advocating for severe regression if you cant get the perfect amount of progressiveness. You are as selfish and childish as they come.
