(11,128 posts)It's either the billionaire or the candidate every corporate interest in Sacramento plucked from the pile after Swalwell imploded.
So the question becomes, who would you rather?
Would you rather a billionaire with no political track record who promises progressive things? Or a milquetoast candidate who looks like three lobbyists dressed in a trench coat?
I just can't with Becerra. I'm sorry, no. The lobbyist-Sacramento axis has caused so many problems in this state. I just can't vote for it in the primary.
I know he'll probably win. And nothing will change. Enjoy your PG&E bill.
But lord, I hate being in the position of thinking Steyer is my best play given my politics and the realities in this state.
That the Democratic Party in California is this chaotic is such a deep disappointment. It's disillusioning. We're the one state who has the political power to get it together, but for whatever reason, we just can't. Or won't.
