    So why on earth was anyone calling him a good candidate to replace Biden? Sounds like one of the worst people you’d want in charge of anything, much less a country?

      I think it is a combination of:

      1. Governor of major state.
      2. Has nice hair. Real generic politician look.
      3. Polls showing “generic democrat” beating Trump.
      4. Not super old.
      5. Have I mentioned the hair?

        Ya really think his hair is nice?

        I’ve felt that it falls into that Generative AI/Thomas Kinkade uncanny valley zone because it looks kind of glazed – as if embedded in a thin layer of ice – while also inhabiting a strange dimension of omnipresent ambient lighting.

        Please note: I am not in any way implying that Gavin Newsom isn’t real.
