The California governor has been trying to get his Florida Republican counterpart to engage. On Wednesday, he got it.

I gave you an upvote because unlike most of your compatriots you seem to be open to new ideas, and evaluating positions on their merits based on your comment. I don’t see where anything you said was out of pocket really, even if I disagree with your conservative leaning ideology.
I’m not a fan of the instant downvote when someone outs themselves as a conservative as contentious or unjustifiable as that position may seem here on Lemmy.
I would certainly not agree with your position that Newsom is far left politically, as he has pretty much shown himself to be a boilerplate Corporate Democrat and Nancy Pelosi Acolyte. Which, I am not really a fan of, but I do think he has balls.
I appreciate the upvote, unfortunately the way she goes on social media, if I saw I’m conservative at all, instant downvote.
As I mentioned I don’t know too much about him, but do know some of his notably left positions:
‘assault’ weapon bans for some citizens (I’m against exceptions in these cases, my state just passed an AWB, but current and former law enforcement are exempt, that’s just saying that this population, that has a high rate of DV, have more rights than the other citizens)
Him being proud of being a sanctuary state/have sanctuary cities. The left wants more federal government power, but if it’s inconvienent for them, will not enforce laws that the nation has passed. They’re also the ones that get pissed if a republican state doesn’t want a federal law enacted.
Fighting against private businesses (walgreens) for making decisions that the governor doesn’t like. If someone is pissed at how DeSantis has handled disney, they should be more pissed at Newsom’s handling of Walgreens.
