Undeniably since the next Democratic candidate will be Gavin Newsom yes it will be significantly worse than Bush. I'll take it a step further, a potential Newsom presidency will be almost as bad as Trumps first term. He will openly backstab queer people, support endless wars, fund genocide, and do literally nothing without Republican approval but despite doing everything they ask the right wing media will constantly smear him thus making him deeply unpopular amongst the "moderate Republicans" that the DNC cares more about than progressives.
