Lol!! Does he really think Democrat-led cities will do anything?!! Regular law-abiding hard-working folks are not important to Democrats. They only care about drug addicts, homeless, and illegal immigrant wife-beaters.


May 12 (Reuters) - California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday urged localities to "take back the streets" from homeless encampments, proposing language for every city and county to use in a local ban on camping in public.
Newsom, a Democrat often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate for 2028, has taken a harder line on homelessness as California's unhoused population has grown to 180,000. His stance has alienated some liberal allies who advocate affordable housing over crackdowns.


 
Looks like somebody is trying the old "Run to the Middle" play to set themselves up as the Great Dem Hope of 2028.

I think he knows nothing will be done, but he'll go on record looking like he's wanting to sweep the streets, and at the same time his precious homeless won't be touched. It's the best of both worlds for him.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Paint yourself as a moderate long enough to get elected and then govern as a Far Left progressive liberal that you've always been. And the sad thing is, so many people will fall for it., every time.

I think he will actually do something, even if just cosmetic, because he knows he needs to fix some of the mess if he wants to run for President in 2028.

I can see him pull a "Bill Clinton" and add just enough moderate diversions to try and get a second term, assuming he runs and wins.
 
That POS is not fooling anyone but the fools that would vote for him in the first place.

He will fool some independents and moderate Dems that WANT to be fooled, instead of voting for Vance, or DeSantis, or whoever wins the Republican Nominations in 2028.

And we have seen the proof time after time. I do think that some Prog politicians want to moderate. It depends on the whole party's views. They think that AOC and Crockett are going to create millions of jobs with their agendas and people like Musk are just no good. Soon enough the 40-year-old hull Arleigh burke class destroyers will cost three billion dollars apiece. We have a problem even designing new hulls for naval ships.

Create a problem, solve the problem. IOW, "Nice place you got here, be a shame if something happened to it"

dimocrap scum are, and I mean ARE, the center of Organized Crime in this Country. And one of the oldest Shake-Downs in criminal history is the Protection Racket.

Guido walks into a bar, "Nice place you got here... etc" Bar Owner refuses to pay protection, Bar mysteriously catches fire or gets robbed a few times, Guido comes back and Bar Owner signs up.

They do it all the time. dimocrap scum, I mean. The macro scale is -- Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson..... They're all extortionists. Riots, Protests, Burning, Looting General Mayhem..... dimocrap scum shake-downs. It's how they gain control of population centers. Been going on for over 60 years. Been there, done it, seen it. Go to any Greyhound Station in the Country in the 60's and it looked they were shooting a Tarzan Movie.

It started out as them demanding Welfare back in the 60's and has progressed into today's dimocrap scum party rioting for any and everything they want.

The entire dimocrap scum cabal is a criminal organization.

For the most part, homelessness is democrats' fault, especially in California. They have made the state so unlivable that regular people just can't make it. I just read today that in all of their major cities, you need a six figure income just to be able to afford to RENT. On top of that, their open borders and sanctuary cities policies are creating not only a housing crisis and driving up rents, but drawing illegals straight to homelessness. They can't fix this simply by taking the homeless off the streets. They have to fix the policies which created it all in the first place.

Nope......this is a normal tactic of the left.
It's a big part of their playbook.
First they create the problem....and then offer solutions for the problem years later.....as if they didn't cause the problem.
The solutions they offer are always worse than the problem itself.
And it usually means giving up more of our freedoms.

Democrats are making life miserable for their voters, forcing them to leave and spread their messed up voting habits all over the rest of America.
You can take the Democrat out of the blue state, but you can't take the blue state out of the Democrat voter.
They actually hate what they voted for, but they cannot help themselves, and they insist on making the same mistake wherever they move to.

Fixing something that is ingrained is very difficult. The purveyors of hate accusations are not far from any push to make changes to the system.

Why bother trying to fix it? Seriously, why bother?

You can't fix dimocrap scum, we've been trying for over a hundred years and dimocrap scum gonna scum. There ain't nothing you can do about it.

Leave them squating in their own shit. They deserve it. We can't overtly cut off Federal Dollars to dimocrap scum shitholes but Executive and the Legislative Branches control Billions in discretionary spending that they don't deserve. Mostly because -- They'll just piss away what they don't outright steal and also because -- They created the problem, let them either fix it or they can sleep in their own shit.

I could not care less about Blue States. **** them. And the Good People, the Conservatives that live there? **** them, too. They can either fix their own goddamned mess, leave, or squat in their own shit, too.

No mercy. They're part of the problem

Coupla things:

1. Moving is expensive and not everyone can afford it.

2. If you've got a decent income and a family you might not want to chase a dream. Hostages to fortune kinda thing.

3. Even in CA there are places that aren't totally whacko. Sucks to live in a blue state, depends on where you are in that state. I feel for 'em though.

As an NYC resident I agree with this. My federal rights under the Constitution shouldn't depend on what State I live in.
