Other leaders have to actually work to make changes that help their constituents.

For example, Whitmer rammed through a multitude of progressive bills in one year with a one seat majority in the Michigan legislature.

I enjoy Newsom’s trolling of Trump, but that’s about it.

Newsom isn’t even in my top 10 of potential 2028 nominees.

Also, spearheading the legalizing of gay marriage. A lot of positive points for that act of decency. tblue37 Nov 2025 #7

Not sure Gavin is the loudest voice. His is the most prominent voice we have and personally, I like him. CTyankee Nov 2025 #4

You are right about Whitmer. I love her and her work. But didn't you know that a woman can't be POTUS? CTyankee Nov 2025 #6
