    Yeah, he’s always been an opportunist, but at this point he’s pissing away any positive legacy he had as a firebrand liberal just for a cynical run for office that will inevitably fail.

    This would be like Ted Cruz suddenly turning into a moderate liberal to try to ingratiate himself to voters. It won’t work. The electorate’s memory generally sucks, but there’s no way they would forget a political switch this jarring.

      that will inevitably fail.

      While I agree with your disappointment in newsom, caving in to the rich is how you win elections in our “democracy”.

      The electorate pales in importance and definitely doesn’t care about AI safety. This is about appeasing the money.
