@haineux you might also get good info from calmatters.org but I'm not sure about that for the gubernatorial race. I have in the past found their assessments really valuable for the legislative races @blogdiva @jrconlin

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

calmatters should be their first stop. it’s an excellent resource.

@blogdiva His ads immediately let me know he’s trouble. Arrogant and egotistical. He will promote some stuff that I support, sure, but I will not support him. He strides noisily to the front of the room and demands attention, but the smart people, we see Steyer is just another power-hungry psychopath.

@blogdiva

steyer should take his money and buy media to protect it from the right wingers… but no… he does this shit.

@benroyce @blogdiva the other lesson was JUST GIVE US ALL RANKED CHOICE VOTING ALREADY

@dingodog19 @blogdiva

> she would veto this legislation.
I want to believe. Tell me more?

@blogdiva Do your homework - the fascists change costumes frequently

[haineux@mastodon.social]

@Laukidh @jrconlin @blogdiva She seems to be the most liberal in her positions, so I was for her, but the ship seems to be sunk. Alas.

Ballotpedia can be a good place to start.

@haineux @blogdiva Same. I really liked her and she was my likely pick.

@benroyce @blogdiva My congressional district has been solidly Dem probably since FDR, which means the most significant contest is the Dem primary. If you don't tune in til a few weeks before the general election, you've missed the whole deal. In other districts, the GOP primary is the whole game. The *most* important thing, though, is that "the Democrats" doesn't exist. There are 50 state Democratic Parties, plus territories, plus Dems Abroad. The Democratic Party is what you make it.

@blogdiva What information shows that Katie Porter would veto this?

[crcollins@writing.exchange]

@blogdiva

As a Californian, I am beating my head against the wall right now. We seem completely screwed. Who thought one big primary for both parties sounded like a good idea???
