23. The comparison to Gavin Newsom would make more sense

If Newsom was some far left radical but he can be as centrist as anyone.

All politics is local but national politics can drive people to the polls.

I'm not a big fan of the top 2 candidates in the race so personally I'll just support whoever the Democratic nominee will be.
