In a race in which candidates from all parties run in the same primary, Democrats have raised concerns the crowded field could prevent them from appearing on the November ballot.
Cali has 1 primary, and the top two candidates make it to the general…
Some early polling of the race has put both Bianco and Hilton among the candidates splitting the most support in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years.
“The likelihood of two Republicans effectively ‘locking out’ California Democrats from the contest for Governor in the General Election is relatively low,” Hicks wrote. “However, while it is implausible, it is not impossible and I know we are collectively committed to taking the steps required to avoid that possibility.”
Right now the top two candidates have an R by their name, which would depress general turnout when it matters and cost House seats we desperately need. Not to mention it would guarantee a Republican governor.
But you’d have to read more than a headline to actually see that part…
I will note that we are generally still far enough out that Republicans will have a polling advantage. Which is probably why the top 2 are Rs, theyve been having this weird early surge then slow collapse for their candidates and policy for awhile now within the state. My best guess as to why is because they’ve basically burned down to the most core element within the state and have every incentive to respond to polling so as to try and influence the narrative.
I’d hold off on putting pressure on smaller candidates for at least a month but I also get being worried.
helpful context: op principledfully and scientifically abstained from voting in the 2024 election, thus saving palestine. always check who’s talking it’s the same three fucking dipshits
Same here, I left it blank in the general and filled out the rest of the ballot. I also dont support genocides regardless of the consequences. Theres actually lots of us, you aren’t alone. The party ignores us at their own peril and I’m not about to change because they want me to. And any centrists who dont like it can kiss my arse. Cheers to you, man.
Thats a person who stood up for their principles while you abandoned yours. You’re the manipulated one here. And we both lost so I dont see that it matters much who you feel like you need to blame. I respect my dog’s barking more than I respect anything you say, and my dog is an idiot. Just be aware that the same voting outcome will happen again if t needs to. And 20% of the voters are progressive. So maybe dont try to run a campaign on genocide support from the ‘lefty’ party again and things will turn out better. Or, you can choose to continue to lose. Centrists are in charge of the party machine, right-- so you go ahead and choose while I sit over here sipping my coffee and talking to Dems who arent sellouts and war criminals.
Calling anyone who didnt vote for Harris or support her platform a trump supporter is such a classic centrist move. Besides being utter devoid of any ethics around your own stance on genocide, you’re also brazenly dishonest about everyone else as well. You’d fit right in on the far right yourself.
And good luck to you licking and sucking everything put in front of you that you’re told to.
You have negotiated everything away – with nothing at all in repayment–and you will obviously continue to do so.
Silly you, your vote in California somehow also made Harris lose every other state. Don’t ask them how the math or logic works, just vote blue no matter who and don’t ask questions.

And I voted third party! Don’t forget that piece of important context.
Boo hoo, the one person who voted in California massively changed all the other states she ignored. That’s how it worked.
I couldn’t parse that.
Ah, autocorrect on my phone. Corrected.
I voted in 2024 for everything but POTUS because I don’t support genocide.

Ya choose better or you get worse.
Evolution takes a few iterations, but you have to put in the one day of work every 4 years without getting bored of it.
So you’re easily manipulated. Good job.

Oh shut up. Soapboxing your pro trump stance is so 2021

Thats why people call you blue maga.
Good luck in life being easily manipulated

Thousands of dead children and families is manipulation? Wow.
Idc how you spin it. Your were manipulated
That’s how democracy and voting works. You can vote or not vote. A vote is earned not given away freely.
I don’t believe you anyways.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not sure what there’s to believe
Good job, you saved them!
You’re right, thank you for standing by and doing nothing. You really helped avoid the worst possible situation!
Idiot
