... but as an ally he kicks ass.

We've got many equally sharp sticks in the California Democratic arsenal, our Vice President Kamala Harris is one, but they are handicapped on the national stage because too many people in our shit-hole nation are racists, misogynists, and fascists, on the "left" and the "right." Mostly on the "right."

Gavin is a straight white guy so he's never had to be twice as good or work twice as hard just to stay in place. I'm certain he's aware of that but it is what it is.
