What’s wrong with this from your perspective? IMO it’s too little too late and should have been a federal law years ago. Don’t get me wrong - Newsom is a slippery snake politician and is beholden to rich scumbag donors but I don’t see how this in particular is due to his and the dems big donors. That said you seem to imply that only one side of this shitshow is beholden to big donors but corruption and general degeneracy is far more prevalent in the elephant party. |

Even good new laws (new laws are rarely good imo) are only secondary to the powers that be winning at any cost. After going on and on about fair elections(tm) for about a decade and burning a ton of money and political opportunity cost, the Party is now going to gerrymander-max the entire state to the cost of what billions of dollars to specifically disenfranchise any voters that they disagree with. “We’re doing it To-Save-Democracy!”
In other words, there are no principals behind anything, only the Party’s needs. So a law like the featured one only exists to the extent it benefits the Party or hurts its opponents, and when that stops being true the law gets changed or some new law created to carve out exceptions for big blue donors like LinkedIn or anybody that has deep pockets for Newsome’s federal ambitions. Consider the two-faced orientation with respect to oil companies. Gavin talks tough about climate change while, as churches are locked down, going to French Laundry dinners to get wined and dined by fossil fuel lobbyists, and the prols are too stupid to know better! The loyal and earnest supporters (dupes) keep giving their money and votes to the machine while poor old people die of heat stroke because they can’t afford to run AC anymore.
