Katie Porter is one of the very few good guys. She'd be a terrific governor for California, so I expect the Democratic Party will do all they can to oppose her.
If she isn't the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.
California has jungle primaries where the top two (usually both Democrats) go on to contest the general election iirc..
Yep, one of the funnier end results seems to be the gradual recreation of the Progressive Republicans at least in my area. Though it should be noted they are still small and being actively ignored but the rest of the Republicans.
Harris is going to run and don't you know this was her promised consolation prize. So sorry progressives, maybe in a 100 years when everyone in line in front of you dies?
All she has to do is tell me she's not going to fuck over consumers with regards to solar to protect regionally monopolistic power conglomerates who are literally killing people due to old equipment in wild fire corridors. Fuck Gavin Newsome.
I would love to see PG&E get their asses handed to them.
Eh, they just pass all the pain on to consumers
Oh, in that case I suppose they should be allowed to continue killing people.
Look corporations are people, which obviously means we can't hold the humans operating them responsible...
/s
you're not imagining a wide enough ass kicking here. i want them take over by the state lol
hmmm, seems clunky. I'm not sure that will work as a very good slogan.
Do you have a shorter way of saying it without miscommunicating your overall message?
I’m so sick of Democrats ripping off a mask to reveal they’re Republican.
I’d like for once it to be the other way around, or for a Dem to rip it off and reveal they’re even further left.
Isn’t the “rep” here for representative as she is a democrat?
Yes. I was referring to Newsom.
Ah my bad.
Yeah
There's no financial incentive in doing that, so it's going to disproportionately be politicians moving to the right.
I'm on board if she brings a whiteboard and schools people after putting forth actual legislation based on real data. She'll be amazing in any political seat she is elected to.
He's got a good chance because she's extremely popular outside of core Democratic hubs. Ita going to be a question of if she is willing to buck the system. Frankly, after the ratfucking of 2024, I think she could make real waves running as an independent; as a Democrat she'll be open to the same weaknesses as we saw in the 2024 campaign.:DNC power brokers will quite litterally support fascists in their ability to win elections rather than have their own power challenged.
In California they don't do partisan primaries for state office. It will be her versus Harris the entire way no matter what she writes down for party affiliation.
I'll vote for her over Harris any day.
Go Katie I will vote for you.
Yes please!!
Wasn't she the single mother raging against people deciding on single mother issues without even having a shred of knowledge on it? That was great.
