Another slaver is the last thing we need.
Do you mean because he’s white?

Ok pushing, maintaining slave labor as long as its good for revenue.

California Senate rejects involuntary servitude amendment

The California Senate has rejected a proposal to ban involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime. The California Constitution bans involuntary servitude except for the punishment of a crime. Some state lawmakers proposed an amendment to remove that exception. Voters would have to approve the amendment before it could become law. But Thursday, the state Senate failed to put the amendment on the ballot this fall. They could try again next week. Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration has warned the amendment could force the state to pay inmates who work while in prison a $15-per-hour minimum wage. That could cost taxpayers $1.5 billion.

“Two-thirds of state and federal prisoners nationwide are required to work, the report said, most without adequate protections against labor exploitation.”

I think this says more about the prison industrial complex than it does any individual state leader.

It does, but if a state leader is still going to support the slave and prison industry… I’m not sure why anyone but confederate kannies would excuse it.
I think MN governor Walz would be the most qualified to run for president against Biden. I’m glad that he wants to stay in MN though
Washington's Governor Inslee has been mostly very good as well. He's not running for reelection as governor in 2024, but I'm not sure if that means he is retiring. He is yet another old white guy, however.
Inslee has been terrible for Washington overall. He is also a standard corporate Democrat of the worst variety. He fancies himself a progressive by working on his poorly thought out pet social policies, and doesn’t have the backbone for the national stage. The last thing we need is some wet blanket corporatist who lacks the courage of his convictions. Just my two cents as a life long Washingtonian.
As much as the national DNC needs better candidates, I’m not willing to share him
Because of Biden’s age, there’s going to be some level of engines being revved on the chance he kicks the bucket.
Gavin Newsom is so creepy…
