I know a lot of mainline dems read my work, so for those of you skeptical of my argument because of my role as a trans journalist, know that I _endorsed_ Harris for president.
The critiques I levy against Newsom are very particular to him and he poses a unique danger that I cannot stay silent on.

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly.

The argument that an alternative medicine is being suppressed because pharma companies can't patent and profit from it drastically underestimate pharma companies ability to patent and profit.
