Porter has been my #1 for the whole time but Ro Khanna and Our Revolution both endorsing Steyer made me ask myself why would they support the billionaire with zero qualifications. And ask myself if I’m missing something about steyer or Porter.
I refused to vote for Lurie in our ranked choice mayoral election because he was a centimillionaire and I now find a lot of his policies similar to London breed, the mayor that he replaced. But I do believe his connections have prevented ICE from terrorizing our streets, and can’t say that breed would have been able to call Trump and talk him out of anything. It begs the question, can billionaires in public office benefit the 99%?
I really wish the state had ranked choice voting for the gubernatorial race.
He wasn’t a serious contender until Swallwell quit, and all of a sudden Becerra jumped from 4 or 5 percent to virtually tied with Steyer, depending on which poll you look at.
Becerra would need to make a bold campaign promise before I pay attention to him. He claims to be passionate about healthcare access, so I would need to hear a medi-cal for all plan proposal.

I saw the Our Revolution endorsement of Steyer too.
Like the other leading D candidates, he’s got good positions.
OR has to play the team game, and choosing the best, less odious choice for a progressive victory.
For the two leading D candidates, Becerra and Steyer:
With Becerra, there are questions about his leadership when they were actually put to the test by COVID-19 during his time as HHS Secretary under Biden.
I have not once considered becerra. I didn’t realize he was a serious contender.

All of which I thought was weird.
