The first step for the candidates running in next year’s California Senate race is to quietly try to spook newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler into not running at all.

    If she actually runs it’s going to be clear that this was all meant to stop Barbara Lee from winning.

    Silly progressives. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?

            There are old people who support LGBTQ+ people and causes. There are young people who oppose them. That is what matters.

            I dgaf how old someone is if they vote the way I want them to. This is ageism.

                Ageism is idealistic.

                Young people aren’t inherently better than old people, you’re completely misunderstanding the problems with American politics. The old people in power now were in power when they were young and they were bad back then too! We need better politics, not better blood.

                People like you vote for losers like Pete Buttigieg lol

        Not everything, but the Senate position for the most progressive state in the country, that seems fair. Due to the way the Senate was designed progressives are underrepresented. There are probably more progressives in California then the whole population of a couple smaller states combined, and they get no representation. Harris at least gave a little before she shifted right to try and become president, but now even she’s gone.

        Seriously.

        [The person running third in a two person race should have been unfairly advantaged because that’s the only way she can win and that’s what I want!]

        Fuck the Democratic voters of California getting what they want, I guess. Not like they matter.
