Now, I don't vote based on character to a certain extent, but Newsom has both: Terrible policies and a terrible character.
- wahern 4y agoI would find it difficult to have any respect for Newsom if all I knew about him was his social and business life. But the older I get the more I realize that character traits are distributed much more randomly than I ever believed. People want to believe, for example, that intelligence and compassion tend to come packaged together. But then you realize that there are quite alot of very malicious yet intelligent people out there. The universe doesn't have a sense of justice, at least not to the degree we expect, and definitely not the degree we desire. Last week I heard on the radio[1] a poem that resonated very strongly me with: A man said to the universe: "Sir, I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." It's a poem by Stephen Crane, recited by Paul Auster during an interview. Auster describes Crane as (IIRC) a proto-existentialist, which explains why the poem resonated so strongly with me.
