Biden officially drops out!

So, what now? Kamala presidential candidate? And who's gonna be the VP candidate? I think potentially someone like Whitmer, Kelly, or Shapiro. I think Newsom is too unpopular and he's from California (2x Cali ticket is probably too much)  UPDATE: BIDEN ENDORSES KAMALA

Newsom would obliterate any Republican in a debate, is young, smart, and runs one of the biggest state/country in the nation/world.

He just has to tackle the homelessness issue. NOT that there are homeless (you can be homeless year round and California, you’d die in near all the other states winters or summers) but that he has be campaigning to fix the issue for his whole career and hasn’t made much headway on it.

The nation needs someone energetic, fiery but with tact and decorum, he would do great

As a Californian and someone that lives *very close* to San Francisco, the homeless problem is grossly exaggerated by Republicans(although I can’t speak for LA). Don’t get me wrong, San Francisco and Oakland do have a homeless problem but I go up to the city very often and it’s highly dependent on what part of the city you’re in and even then, Newsom has taken *some* steps to alleviate it. 

My area is a neoliberal, NIMBY run shithole and as a leftist I hate it and I’ll always support my fellow leftists when we point out the *systemic* problems courtesy of *capitalism* of the San Francisco area. But I fucking hate the way conservatives portray California and I’ll become the biggest lib anytime some chud starts shit talking it.

If anything, SF is one of my favorite cities in the world solely for the racial diversity and the vibrant LGBTQ+ culture.
