        You know what we should try? Cutting out the middlemen and letting neoliberal donors run!

        Ya know, that hasn’t failed miserably since checks notes, trump…

        /S

        I’m pretty sure there’s not only two options.

        I’d suggest you spend time advocating for who you think is good

              Pro-billionaire or pro-progressive? 'Cause by all accounts, he’s the only one running.

              This is now the second time I’m asking you to tell us which candidate Californians should prefer instead, if this guy sucks so bad. Last time you just downvoted me and didn’t respond. Not a good look for you.

                From a day ago:

                That being said, I honestly don’t know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs.

                https://lemmy.world/post/47516643/23995697

                No one owes you a personal answer when it was said hours ago

                Following someone around a day later telling them you still haven’t read the thread and need it spoonfed “is not a good look”.

                And honestly next time I don’t reply, it’s a safe bet I just blocked you. Same for anyone else you follow around like this. How could anyone not expect that? No one is obligated to interact with you.

                  First of all, I’ll be honest: the reason I bothered to make that comment, in that tone, was because you accusing somebody of being “pro-billionaire” for supporting the only progressive in the race is some disingenuous BS that pissed me off.

                  Second, Lemmy is not a big place and we’re both pretty prolific commenters. It’s not “following you around” when interaction is inevitable. Moreover, you don’t get to accuse me of stalking you and then also complain that I didn’t read some other comment you made – you can’t have it both ways!

                  Third, you’re absolutely right: you are not “obligated” to answer my question. On the other hand, everyone else reading these threads can interpret that refusal to defend your position however they wish, including in ways that damage your credibility. Your call.

                  Frankly, you’re being unusually rude, and paranoid to boot. You need to quit libeling people just because you’re in some kind of bad mood.

          At this point in the game there arent more options. You have the choice between rolling the dice on a billionaire who claims to be progressive or going with the individual who is outright not going to be progressive in any way shape or form. Porter is cooked, and this election is a bummerfest, but that doesnt change it’s nature
