This guy makes my blood boil. First time I ever felt moved to call Michael Krazny's KQED radio show was the first time I heard Newsom's voice. I wanted to call in just to tell Newsom off.
This was back when he was a San Francisco Supervisor.
Today, in his anti-recall campaign, Newsom is being shameless.
SJG
SJG went so far to the left that he ended up turning right 😂
I support Newsom. After he wins the recall I want him to be President Newsom.
I am a Radical Leftist. I do not want Newsom's seat to go to a Republican. I don't want a replay of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis. I want Gavin just resign and let our Lieutenant Governor take over. I have never liked Gavin, he was just Not a Republican. When it has come to his appointments and most other things, he is fine.
More than anyone else he has promoted COVID Hysteria, a campaign of psychological warfare. Now his Anti-Recall campaign is just shameless fear mongering.
I get his stuff in email. It always starts out "Republicans are trying to get me out."
Well we have a two party system, what else would you expect.
So it is "Republicans are trying to get me out. Please send me money."
What he does not understand is that he has always been extremely offensive to Democrats.
He used to be married to a Far Right Republican."
SJG
Okay but Newsom is better in office than a Republican who would turn California into another Florida.
Anyone who openly admits to being either a "liberal" or a "leftist" is a human turd. Go flush yourselves. Humanity thanks you.
What does the far right know about humanity?
But while Newsom is not really a Republican, he has always been extremely offensive to Democrats. I wish she would just resign.
SJG
He won't and he's better than the alternative. California isn't Florida
Well, if he loses the recall, it is his own damn fault.
Newsom seems to be a guy who follows orders from the Democratic Party National Leadership. They could tell him to resign.
SJG
If he loses California gets a republican
It sucks!
Gavin should be serving a prison term. He waged a campaign of psychological warfare, with his gaslighting and grandstanding, against 40 million people.
I do not know if he will beat the recal. But that kind of a person is completely unacceptable.

But we let him get in and so it is a problem.
I still want him to resign.

He won't resign. By opposing him you end up supporting Republicans
I'm not opposing him, I am not telling people how to vote. But I continue to oppose his approach to COVID, as I found that I needed to starting last Summer.
Gavin has always been unacceptable as a Democrat.
To get elected Mayor of San Francisco he had to outspend his Green Party opponent Matt Gonzalez by 11 to 1. And his support has always come from Business Interests. Newsom is a crypto Republican.
It is an ugly situation.
And no one else has ever run so singularly on COVID hysteria.
SJG
His response to the pandemic in terms as being pro people has been ghe best in the country I think
His response was rooted in hysteria and irrationality. He accomplished nothing except maybe to protect his own job, and that of our Sarah Cody. He continues to run on psychological warfare.

THis is bullshit data, designed to create hysteria. What is important is the hospital capacity still left, not the vaccination rates.
Here: web.fha.org
They seem to be using up their space, so they need surge beds, overflow capacity. This will pass. The virus stops when it runs out of people.
It has been bad enough to have Gavin Newsom here, other states do not need such persons of their own.

SJG
No I don't know where you get your info but it's not reality.
Every day the news puts out stuff to try and fan the flames. And one of the worst was always Gavin.
Sure, they need to be prepared, surge wards and supplies.
But the idea that masking and the vaccine somehow makes you "safe" or is "protecting people" is total idiocy.
SJG
We need viable mitigation efforts. Not ignoring the virus.
Masks and the vaccine are better than nothing but are a push by the private sector ....profits before people
No, the masking and the testing were used, by Gavin, to promote superstitious irrational fear.
The same thing is being done now with the masking and the vaccine.
SJG
Gavin is completely wrong in how he responded to COVID. He was just trying to oppose Trump, using the 40 million of us to do this.
He could have resigned when the serious criticism and the recall campaign first started. I objected to him when he was first San Francisco Supervisor.
At this point I say, campaigning on COVID, we have to get him out!

And Governor Newsom won the recall
Wow a democrat won in a democrat state. That is so fucking unbelievable.
Yes, Gavin won the recall.
Unfortunately Biden, Harris, and Obama have campaigned for him using the same COVID hysteria which made people mad at Gavin in the first place.
I did not want his seat to go to a Republican. But he really irritates me. I really just wanted him to resign. I still want him to resign.
The only thing partisan about the recall is that we have a two party system.
SJG
Opposition to Newsom was based on him choosing to support people over profits.
I do not agree. Newsom's daily COVID press conferences were based on the idiocy that the masking and the precautions protect people from exposure. They do not. The vast majority of COVID exposures have zero effect on any body.
And the testing, all that did was measure the degree of superstitious irrational fear which Gavin was able to induce.
The cure for COVID is sleep, not standing in line to get tested.
SJG
Don't you have to get tested to know you have it?
How does sleep cure it?
To know for certain that you have it, you would need to get tested. But if you are feeling sick, then you probably are sick, COVID, Flu, Mono. Getting tested is not important, not worth having to be on your feet.
Sleep is the cure for all of these. Sleep gives your immune system a chance to tailor its response, and then attack and eradicate it.
Then quickly you will become untransmissible, and then you will have natural immunity, which is much better than immunity from the vaccine.

"The cure for COVID is sleep" continues to be the most asinine thing you have spewed on this board. And coming from a delusional guy that wants to start his own cult, that's saying something. Having seen far too many Covid deaths in the past year and a half, this pisses me off. You pride yourself for being well read. Show one peer reviewed paper that supports your position or STFU with this nonsense.
Everyone knows that with the flu and all these related viral infections, like mono, the cure is sleep.
Often I can catch the flu starting and go right to bed, and then end up with less time off of work than those who wait until the flu forces them to bed.
COVID is not a threat to public health because it is not a chronic condition. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, these are threats to public health because they are chronic conditions.
And you have to have a min of 1% mortality rate per year, or otherwise that would mean that the average life expectancy is exceeding 100 years. We know that this is not true.
So we have to have at least 3.5 million deaths per year annually, and at least 10,000 deaths per day.
For Santa Clara County it is 20,000 per year and 50 per day.
COVID has made only some very small additions to these numbers.
If we went to Universal Health Care, that would have a much bigger effect than all the precautions and the vaccine combined
SJG
Yes you should rest if you're too sick to function. But sleep doesn't cure covid.
Spreading misconceptions like that endangers people
No, you should rest long before you are too sick to function. If you take to bed as soon as you can detect an infection starting, you will get less of an infection and have less down time.
And sleep is the cure for COVID, it is the ONLY CURE FOR COVID.
This is just common sense. The sooner you take to bed, the sooner you will be better.

Newsom is nuts. We should tell him that dementia is preventable. If you are feeling sick, the most important thing is sleep. Same as with the flu. The sooner you take to bed, the lighter the infection and the sooner you will be back on your feet.
I did not want him to be recalled, because then his seat would have gone to a Republican. But I do want Newsom to spend the rest of his life in a prison cell.

Holy Shit!
This stuff looks like Frank Jordan’s Martix Plan, from when former police chief Frank Jordan got elected mayor of San Francisco. His Matrix was just more cops, criminalizing homelessness.
And then when Newsom got elected mayor his first act was an initiative Care Not Cash, making it so that the homeless were not eligible to receive the full GA allotment.
Now he seems to want to do what Trump called for, setting up internment camps. And it will be driven by his Mental Health Courts and forced psychiatric procedures.

That is what Gavin thinks. We have a two party system, so what would you expect. But Gavin infuriates people, not just those who did not vote for him.
In 2018 and with the 2020 recall Gavin had an easier time of it because of Anti-Trump anger.
But it still took Obama, Biden, Harris, and Elizabeth Warren to help him keep his seat. And we knew he had to make a US Senate appointment and he might need to make another.

When Gavin first ran for Mayor San Francisco, he outspent his Green Party opponent Matt Gonzalez 11 to 1. But it was still a close election. The Business Community just decided that they had to have him. So he does what they want.

Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis (D)(incumbent), got huge majority in primary
I don't think those who did not finish in the top 2 can continue running. Not sure if they could even run as write in candidates.
So looking at the CA 6/7 Primary results, Gavin came out the highest, followed the leading Republican challenger, Brian Dahle. Dahle is a credible candidate, but he has no chance.
Michael Shellenberger got 4%, and not in run off. So ballot wise he is not a factor. So Gavin is pretty much guaranteed to win. I have never said that it would be possible to stop him from being re-elected, or that that was ever my objective.
Even though I was infuriated day after day by Gavin and his COVID response, I stayed silent in the recall because the Governor will still have many appointments to make, and Gavin does make good appointments because he knows how to follow orders. I would not want his seat to go to a Republican, and recall elections draw a different kind of voter than do regular elections.
What I want is for Gavin to resign, as there will be another recall campaign if he does not.
Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis (D incumbent and a Newsom appointee) is clearly going to win the election, and that is just fine with me.
Human Rights Watch’s Opposition to CARE Court (SB 1338) Letter to California State Assembly Judiciary Committee hrw.org
I strongly disagree with Michael Shellenberger’s book, but it still makes for fascinating reading. It gets back into the history, like Gavin’s Care Not Cash initiative, making it so the homeless could no longer receive the full GA allotment.
And it gets back to Dan White’s assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. And Shellenberger ties it to a progressive take over, which is not how I have ever seen it.
I can see now that the homeless are the biggest issue in CA’s politics, and a lot of that is because of the COVID response and economic crash, unhousing a lot more people. The real danger in COVID was in the hysteria and superstitious fear that was being released. And Gavin was saying that he was going to do “targeted testing into marginalized population groups.” That COVID hysteria would be used against marginalized groups was always the greatest risk. In 2020 that did not happen. But it is happening now in targeting those who got hit the worst in the COVID economic crash, the poorest of the poor, the homeless. And again, Gavin is being part of the problem!
And Shellenberger’s main thing is to make it into a mental health issue. And it is groups like the ACLU and Human Rights Watch which are the most adamantly against this. And then Gavin is really trying to carry out Shellenberger’s plan, though just presenting it in a softer way.
There is a huge amount of public support for this idea of mental health, and for involuntary treatment, and against the homeless. And Gavin is definitely part of the problem.

This isn't the first time in CA that there have been big uprisings over the homeless. It maybe comes about once a decade, since there has been homelessness, which is about 1980.

^ What the authorities are afraid to do is no needs test public housing, and then Universal Basic Income. This houses everyone without creating internment camps or advancing the Mental Health System. But most people who are not rich would want this. I contains private real estate gentrification, so the people who are the most against this are the real estate industry.
So the authorities are careful to make sure that whatever they offer is only available to the eyesore homeless, and to do this they invoke the idea of Mental Health.

Abandoned vehicles burn at troubled California homeless encampment kesq.com
One man had earned a living by being a stage hand.
" Among the residents who have been relocated to housing is Ron McGowan. He was a stagehand almost his entire life, and it was paying the rent, until COVID.
“During the pandemic we were the first ones to get hit,” he told KPIX. “A lot of other industries could pivot. You could not pivot as a stagehand.”
He took the money he had and put his belongings in storage. With nowhere else to go, he ended up at Wood Street.
“On and off for two years,” he said of his time in the encampment. “It has definitely been traumatic over there.” "
Well Gavin's COVID Hysteria hit those who lived with the most itinerant employment the hardest. And so there was a huge surge in the homeless population. And this really hasn't come back down, and it isn't going to either. It is a permanent change.
And then Gavin's AB-5 destroyed the Gig Economy, so a lot of people who had earned their living that way were out of luck.
