      “California is not for sale”, says checks notes two organizations whose literal raison d’être is selling California, physically and figuratively, and a company that’s been buying the right to price gouge and murder Californians with impunity from the grifter currently occupying the governor’s mansion 🤦🏻

      Oh, and also the electrical worker’s union, clearly a case of the corrupt bosses acting contrary to the interests of the workers in order to profit themselves. Exactly what unions exist to prevent 🤦🏻

      The Onion couldn’t have come up with a scenario more absurd, but they would have written it much better.

          You know what we should try? Cutting out the middlemen and letting neoliberal donors run!

          Ya know, that hasn’t failed miserably since checks notes, trump…

          /S

          I’m pretty sure there’s not only two options.

          I’d suggest you spend time advocating for who you think is good

                Pro-billionaire or pro-progressive? 'Cause by all accounts, he’s the only one running.

                This is now the second time I’m asking you to tell us which candidate Californians should prefer instead, if this guy sucks so bad. Last time you just downvoted me and didn’t respond. Not a good look for you.

                  From a day ago:

                  That being said, I honestly don’t know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs.

                  https://lemmy.world/post/47516643/23995697

                  No one owes you a personal answer when it was said hours ago

                  Following someone around a day later telling them you still haven’t read the thread and need it spoonfed “is not a good look”.

                  And honestly next time I don’t reply, it’s a safe bet I just blocked you. Same for anyone else you follow around like this. How could anyone not expect that? No one is obligated to interact with you.

            At this point in the game there arent more options. You have the choice between rolling the dice on a billionaire who claims to be progressive or going with the individual who is outright not going to be progressive in any way shape or form. Porter is cooked, and this election is a bummerfest, but that doesnt change it’s nature

                Or vote for actual progressive running.

                Name the goddamn candidate you’re talking about, then!

                  Peace and Freedom has Ramsey Robinson running. Not that it matters at this point in the race
