But why should the poster be interpreted as endorsing egbertowillies' content (which is covered by free speech) which has been popular on this site, and in days past, often posted. Sure, he's mistaken in his interpreting what Newsom is actually saying; he misheard Newsom, who himself is inclusive of the AOC, Mamdani, Sanders wing in preference to older neolibaral wing. Doesn't mean they can't coexist, but one wing will have to continue to learn how much party voters have changed.
