SOCIALISTS ARE MAD AT CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM FOR THE DUMBEST REASON IMAGINABLE:

California Governor Gavin Newsom just got an ugly reminder of how impossible it is to make everyone happy in politics. Left-wing union activists and socialists are furious with the solidly liberal governor for a truly absurd reason.

Newsom just vetoed controversial legislation, SB 799, which would’ve extended unemployment benefits to striking workers. He cited the existing unemployment system’s looming insolvency as his rationale against expanding the benefits, which would speed up the program’s spiral into the red.

Newsom’s left-wing critics freaked out.

California Labor Federation leader Lorena Gonzalez blasted Newsom in a statement, saying his veto “punishes workers” and is “out-of-step with American values.” The socialist magazine Jacobin similarly slammed Newsom, labeling him “anti-worker” and accusing him of “selling out workers.”

Why, it’s as if he’s seriously thinking of running for president in 2024, or something.
