Good. Newsom being the most likely alternative to MAGA - not so good. But I'd take it, as I hope will most Californians.
I know, a proper system where many parties can participate and make coalitions would be better.
But as it stands:
Only two choices. Both are corporate bootlickers, except one is also full-on fascist (I have no idea who runs for Republicans in CA but that's a safe assumption).
