People wouldn’t be mad about the “leapfrogging”, nobody gives a shit about that. People don’t like Newsom though, I would be shocked if an SF based politician won a presidency.
Even worse, an SF based fiscally conservative corpo-Democrat. This is the same guy who suddenly changed his mind and didn’t pass universal healthcare in California when he supported it beforehand (guess being bankrolled by healthcare companies made it harder to sign), I don’t think anyone would want that. Also he’s just an unlikeable piece of shit, he’s what pops into the average person’s mind when they think “the elite”. His shitty economics seem to have fucked up California quite a bit and he’s barely any better than the average libertarian (but unlike the Libertarian party candidate, at least he doesn’t want to abolish the Department of Education and all government healthcare, but that’s a pretty low bar)
I will commit seppuku before I vote for Newsom. Disclaimer: I am not Californian
No, because Harris does not poll well and leapfrogging her to send Newsom would anger lots of people.
Leapfrogging? This isn’t some schoolyard game of “it’s my turn next”. If there’s a better candidate who cares who it “leapfrogs”.
I don’t think it would anger as many as it would help to have a better candidate
The tradition of succession is still strong in American politics, it’s how Biden got the nom.
Look to Hilary and Bernie for a very similar parallel, its tribal but it’s true
This is an argument for revolution, not for keeping Biden on the ticket.
Hah, you think Americans will revolt? Oh sweet summer child

I am Californian and yeah he sucks. He bailed out the local gas and electric companies after they burned down half the state.
