Should Governor Gavin Newsom be recalled

From Yes: Unaffordable housing. Record homelessness. Rising crime. Failing schools. Independent contractors thrown out of work. Exploding pension debt. And now, a locked down population while the prisons are emptied. Hold Gavin Newsom accountable. Gavin Newsom must go. The News Media is in the Tank: From No: It just cannot be overstated, just how completely, every aspect of California’s news and entertainment media has been deeply in the tank for Newsom’s Covid polices. Even “conservative” talk radio, which has been rather meek for much of the pandemic, is forced to run endless government run commercials promoting masks, restrictions, and vaccines, which are essentially advertisements for Newsom. Caitlyn Jenner is No Arnold Schwarzenegger: In 2003, when California last successfully recalled our governor, much of the energy and almost all of the media hysteria which created the momentum for came because movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger was running. This time around, former reality star Caitlyn Jenner is the most famous person running to replace Newsom, and she simply lacks the persona to duplicate Arnold’s magic (which turned out to be a curse for the California Republican Party, and paved the way for the Trump presidency). Most People are Not Angry: Part of why it is obvious that Newsom will not be recalled is that there is almost no anger in areas of the population where there should be plenty (specifically moms of school-aged kids). My theory is that if the housing and stock markets had collapsed during the shutdown, instead of going the other direction, that Newsom would be in serious trouble, but the perception of wealth clearly has mollified the un-woke masses. He Is Paying Off the Voters: Those Californians who haven’t “made” money via the real estate and stock market during the pandemic have gotten lots of checks directly from the federal and state governments. Newsom has brazenly planned to send significant payments to millions of the very same voters who will soon decide his fate. These people are obviously not going to vote to recall him.
