Newsom is best friends with marathon’s biggest lobbyist. They were caught dining at the French laundry, in what should be seen as a case of illegal lobbying. This immediately after imposing a statewide lockdown. Nobody cared. In California, climate and the environment is a giant non-issue because the voter will vote the same, no matter what. Therefore everything boils down to behind the scenes horse-trading amongst the various lobbies. There is no viable Green Party in the state. Why? |

People cared. We had a recall election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_California_gubernatorial_...
> In California, climate and the environment is a giant non-issue
That's ludicrous. CA has been on the forefront of environmentalism since it was a thing. Yosemite, John Muir, eh?
> There is no viable Green Party in the state. Why?
Because they're weirdos. Most of the state is represented by one of the big two. The cities are "blue" but most of the countryside is "red". Ronald Reagan, eh?
And because environmental concerns are being addressed by Newsom well enough. That's part of why he survived the recall election:
> Newsom has outlined ambitious commitments for the state in his electoral platform, espousing 100% renewable energy within the state, expanding public transit efficiency, and zero diesel pollution by 2030, with overarching goals of equity and accountability.
