    Steyer was the 2nd highest polling Democrat after Swallwell https://www.270towin.com/2026-governor-polls/california

    But Porter was the overwhelming 2nd choice of Swallwell voters, with Steyer a distant 2nd https://www.threads.com/@jcpolls/post/DW93tFWEo5R?xmt=AQF0owPVqfzmYxbIo1mhwyjzcZ2te1isItwVxg0QNBvT9w

      I thought Porter was also canceled for abusing her staff?

        It is said that a woman hasn’t earned her stripes until she gets called “bitch”

        Even in the original 2023 article exposing Porter’s alleged Congressional staff abuse, it is questioned whether similar male behavior towards their subordinates would be judged as harshly.

        The Woman Vote also keeps getting split by all the Aunt Thomasinas perpetuating the patriarchy.

    Would a GOP candidate have resigned?

      No, they would’ve worn this as a badge of honor and Trump would’ve scrambled to endorse them ASAP.

      no why would they, unless the pressure is coming from the GOP themselves.

    Kind of a bummer that Dems couldn’t find this righteous energy when Joe Biden was accused of SA.
