In reply to the discussion: Even Robert Reich is Disappointing Me [View all]Sympthsical
(11,120 posts)80. My partner and I just voted for Steyer
For what it's worth, I think Becerra will win and go on to be governor barring some catastrophic scandal or development.
Which, to me, screams same old shit.
That we in California cannot do better than same old shit is an indictment all on its own. That a state this blue cannot be meaningfully reformed in any way is crazy. People complain about Citizens United, then proceed to vote for exactly the people that Supreme Court ruling was meant to benefit.
I just don't think we're serious outside of signalling. When the chips are down, we repeatedly let the lobbyists have their way with us in one of the bluest states in the country.
It's demoralizing.
At the end of the day, people will get what they vote for.

It's a tough choice. And I missed the second debate, so there's that. I'll try to watch it.

Reich posted Steyer explaining "Why Tax Cuts for the Rich Are So Stupid" back in 2017.

Your point is irrefutable. None the less Steyer is not just occasionally doing the right thing
