Oh interesting. I would vote for her too but she has her issues and has fallen off in the polls. So if you don’t want a chevron-owned candidate it’s basically Steyer or bust.
One thing was not showing up for other progressives. She seemed to think of the label as a pejorative and I think that cut against her. I think she should have tried to be more squad/ squad adjacent and she really didn’t show up for other members of the squad in her votes or with her voice. That being said I see her defeat in the Senate race as a pure rat-fucking on the part of the DNC, so its a mixed bag. Honestly, I guess I realized what it was that I was often more-so rooting against Porters opponent than I was actually rooting for Porter. But thats also good instinct on her part, picking good fights.
Like I think she could have beat Schiff if she would have tried to be more of a stand-out-progressive in her time in congress. Then she just kind-of continously kept falling short and having melt-down after melt-down, and it was like ‘aight your time is up’.
Seems like billionaire Tom Steyer learned that spending assloads of money in the Democratic primary – but doing precious little meeting constituents – doesn’t make the voters love you.
I got so tired of the sheer volume of physical junk mail from Steyer. It’s like he was waging a war against trees.
So now he’s whoring for a smaller more winnable seat.
Seems like the governors race in California is going like shit
Yeah that’s why there’s so much arguing. There’s no good candidates.
The powerful are very good at weeding them out for higher offices.
Steyer seems like the best option.
I agree but I don’t love it.
Yeah. Katie Porters downfall has been monumental. I’m embarrassed to say I shared a stage with her as a fundraiser for other candidates

Oh I wouldn’t vote for her at this point. She’s been a bit of a disaster for a couple years now.
Like you, I’d vote for Steyer. They’re genuinely the best option and the only progressive in the race.
There are no progressive billionaires. There are no ethical billionaires. Every billionaire is an enemy of humanity.
Tom Steyer is worth $2.6 billion. He should be food, not a governor.
Sure. And someone is going to be the next Governor of California.
If you would prefer to eat Steyer, who do you suggest people then instead vote for?
What turned you against her?

She was mean to people a couple times on camera and has the audacity to have not been born a man.

I was down in SDO a bit ago and all I saw were Steyer ads. Like wall to wall. One Bacera ad.
