California Democratic party officials can go eff themselves while they sit down and shut up. They should stay out of trying to manipulate the primary system if they know whats good for them. Voters are sick of that shit.
Establishment Dems: “We want our guys who follow our corporate rules at the top or we will spend money against you.”
Every. Fucking. Time.
Or, you know, fix the voting system.
Cali has 1 primary, and the top two candidates make it to the general…
Some early polling of the race has put both Bianco and Hilton among the candidates splitting the most support in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years.
“The likelihood of two Republicans effectively ‘locking out’ California Democrats from the contest for Governor in the General Election is relatively low,” Hicks wrote. “However, while it is implausible, it is not impossible and I know we are collectively committed to taking the steps required to avoid that possibility.”
Right now the top two candidates have an R by their name, which would depress general turnout when it matters and cost House seats we desperately need. Not to mention it would guarantee a Republican governor.
But you’d have to read more than a headline to actually see that part…
I will note that we are generally still far enough out that Republicans will have a polling advantage. Which is probably why the top 2 are Rs, theyve been having this weird early surge then slow collapse for their candidates and policy for awhile now within the state. My best guess as to why is because they’ve basically burned down to the most core element within the state and have every incentive to respond to polling so as to try and influence the narrative.
I’d hold off on putting pressure on smaller candidates for at least a month but I also get being worried.
helpful context: op principledfully and scientifically abstained from voting in the 2024 election, thus saving palestine. always check who’s talking it’s the same three fucking dipshits
Boo hoo, the one person who voted in California massively changed all the other states she ignored. That’s how it worked.
I voted in 2024 for everything but POTUS because I don’t support genocide.
Same here, I left it blank in the general and filled out the rest of the ballot. I also dont support genocides regardless of the consequences. Theres actually lots of us, you aren’t alone. The party ignores us at their own peril and I’m not about to change because they want me to. And any centrists who dont like it can kiss my arse. Cheers to you, man.
Silly you, your vote in California somehow also made Harris lose every other state. Don’t ask them how the math or logic works, just vote blue no matter who and don’t ask questions.
