    Katie Porter is one of the very few good guys. She’d be a terrific governor for California, so I expect the Democratic Party will do all they can to oppose her.

      If she isn’t the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.

          I hate the top-two jungle primary. Damnit, if I want to vote for the person with no chance at winning, I shouldn’t have to write them in! I’d honestly much prefer to see some flavor of ranked choice vote implemented (not trying to kick off an argument about RCV flavors, just using it as a blanket term).

          Yep, one of the funnier end results seems to be the gradual recreation of the Progressive Republicans at least in my area. Though it should be noted they are still small and being actively ignored but the rest of the Republicans.

      Harris is going to run and don’t you know this was her promised consolation prize. So sorry progressives, maybe in a 100 years when everyone in line in front of you dies?

        Yeah, I remember it being pitched right after the election. Idk, if Kamala actually runs on a progressive platform and doesn’t redshift like she did late in the election, I might consider her seriously.

          She’s incapable of running a progressive campaign. You have to actually be Progressive to do that.
