It’s called doing anything. Like, these things he’s doing are great, but it really shouldn’t be headlines. These things should just be normal politician things. They’re great because every other fucking politician doesn’t give half a shit about their people, but they shouldn’t be. They should be boring things, that are done, and you don’t even know it has happened.
You can’t give the blanket “Democrats” credit for this. The degree to which the Democratic establishment fought to keep guys like him out if power can’t be understated. However the progressive parts of the democratic party are growing in strength and number by the day. I hope some day the party stands up for half of what he does. This is the only guy who makes me hopeful for the future
I would do some personal digging on Gavin Newsom. He seems to be very much a classic politician, i.e. he’ll say whatever he thinks his base wants to hear. But he is notably very flaky on trans allyship in legislature.
They’ll immediately break down when he ends up legislating trans athletes to participate in sporting events, and the first highly successful trans Olympic champion will credit him for siding with their community after receiving the gold medal for 500 yard dash.

Democrats hate this one trick.
Spoiler: It’s called serving the people.

That comment doesn’t read as giving Democrats credit, though.
It’s obviously mirroring the “doctors hate this one simple trick” ad line, but did you think the original was supporting doctors?
The line is saying that Democrats/“doctors” know about the little trick and were keeping it from you. That’s not a flattering representation.
“X hates this one trick” is generally a statement where X is seen as the self-serving side and they hate the trick because it makes them redundant.
Gavin Newsom seems alright too, though I haven’t heard as much about him

I guess the bar is very low these days so in comparison to the boss anyone looks like a genius
Nah, look at all the privacy invading bullshit coming out of California.

Go Zohran, we have faith in you.
