toastykittenAnyway, they just shared the Tri-Valley Democrats governors endorsement meeting. I have not yet finished watching it yet:
So far I have watched the Katie Porter, Xavier Becerra, and Tom Steyer section. I already know that I am not going to be voting for Matt Mahan (he's the tech billionaires' choice), Betty Yee (she's polling at like 2 percent and I don't like this whole round-robin of elected officials moving on up to the next seat just because it's there), or Antonio Villaraigosa (hated his tenure as LA mayor), and unlikely to vote for Eric Swalwell even though he's my Rep (never acknowledged HR 3565 Block the Bombs Act, and honestly I find him kind of offputting. Missed a ton of votes once he declared his run for CA governor until he started getting publicly criticized for it.) I really would like to vote for Katie Porter but her newest proposal about abolishing income tax for people who make under $100k is stupid. Like, she is Elizabeth Warren's protege! She should know it's fucking stupid! I can't stand this kind of pandering BS. I like Xavier Becerra and I liked his tenure as the Health Secretary under Biden, but his general pitch was kind of uninspiring. Like Porter actually said I support abolishing ICE. I still need to finish Tom Steyer's section - he's gotten the endorsement of the California Teachers' union (forgot the actual name) and his ads are all over the place because he's spending his own money. He's got the same gravelly voice as Newsom which (why do they all sound like that) is a bit offputting.
Oh. Hmm, Swalwell is now saying "Abolish ICE". Honestly don't remember him saying that before...
