    californian here. i hope she portrays being more progressive than she did in her presidential campaign. she seems very politically conservative for wanting the governorship here.

      I mean, your current governor just invited Charlie Kirk on his podcast to bash trans people together, and I haven’t read that he’s going to be forced out of office in disgrace, so…

          Oh cool, so in your last term you can just do whatever you want and it’s all good?

              Do you think “force out of office” means passively wait until the next election where you then defeat them at the ballot box?

                  What? Do you base your “literally” statements on just gut feelings?

                  There are multiple ways a governor of California can be removed from office. There was literally already a recall election against this governor, there’s also impeachment, and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.

                    There was literally already a recall election against this governor

                    With 61% voting no. I mean,

                    The recall petition focused on a variety of grievances, on issues such as sanctuary policies, homelessness, high taxes, and water rationing.

                    -Wikipedia. This was a conservative effort to remove Newsom because he was too “woke”, and the fact you used it as supporting evidence makes your whole argument questionable.

                    there’s also impeachment,

                    Needs the Democrat-dominated state legislature to cooperate, and saying one bad thing about trans women in sports once just isn’t enough of a Bad Thing for that.

                    and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.

                    See above. Good luck getting the normies engaged.

                    So to reiterate my point: As long as he doesn’t do something disastrously corrupt or incompetent, there’s literally nothing you can do to remove him from office before his term ends.
