"The Democratic governor’s failing grades on homelessness and crime blared from a new Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll. Three years into Newsom’s tenure, voters have seen so little progress on a protracted homelessness crisis that two-thirds believe Newsom has done a poor or very poor job on the issue — including half of Democrats and most independents."
Well of course he hasn't done enough about the homelessness issue which is in reality a LOCAL issue and the State should be working to support LOCAL solutions.
[Sarcasm alert] Besides most of the Democrats who dissatisfied because he isn't building them condos (in other peoples neighborhoods) and the Republicans want him to put them on buses and deport them to elsewhere. How on earth could one satisfy both constituencies? [End sarcasm alert]
And this is the dynamic Democrats have to fight on virtually every issue with the exception of immigration. Politics used to be local. Republicans are nationalizing local issues and forcing Democrats to answer for things that are only happening in the imagination (CRT) or ideas that have already been considered and mostly rejected (defund the police) and crime. These are local issues and must be resolved locally. It is up to local Democrats to to put a stop to the madness, offer real world solutions to problems in their community. And that is what happened in San Francisco.
Republicans will habitually lie about and misrepresent ANYTHING Democrats say and do. So Democrats need to stop addressing Republican lies and keep their focus not on the Republican Kulturkampf but on the real world needs of their people.
Democrats also need to harass and harangue Republicans and their threat to democracy.
