Hey look! A liberal doing some actual fucking liberalism for once. What a nice change of pace.
Newsom is all over the place. Sometimes his position is straight from the GOP playbook (criminalizing being homeless) and sometimes it is liberal like this. He is trying to be everything while preparing for a '28 presidential run.
Isn't this leftism, not liberalism?
California producing and distributing the insulin directly would be leftism
Insofar as they're rebeling against capitalism to provide for the needs of the people. Most Leftist belief systems would favor insulin costing nothing or be priced on a sliding scale based on your ability to pay.
