California Democratic Party chair calls for governor candidates without a 'viable path' to drop out - Lemmy.World

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

But you’d have to read more than a headline to actually see that part…

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
I voted in 2024 for everything but POTUS because I don’t support genocide.
So you’re easily manipulated. Good job.
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
Anyone supporting a party thats lost 2 elections to a carnival barker when they had every possible advantage in their favor needs to shut the fuck up and sit down. They are in no position to lecture anyone about their choices.
Yeah, because there wasn’t a coordinated effort to trash and promote trump online. Yeah, riiiiiight. Like elon musk, didn’t interfer and buy a social media company to shit out propaganda and manipulate people. Yaaaaa. Riiiiiight.
Musk didn’t force Biden’s hand to fund and provide weapons for a genocide, no amount of social media influence would have changed the fact that Democrats chose to bury their head in the sand regarding Biden’s mental decline, dismissing it as a stutter. There was no amount of influence that forced the DNC to coalesce around Biden and manufacture your vote for Biden in the 2020 election. Your choice to support a mentally deficient right-wing warhawk was manufactured for you. It’s you that was manipulated
So you said meh, trump is fine. Lol yeah right.
If genocide isnt their red line they are no different than the MAGA they claim to hate. BlueMAGA’s true hatred of republicans is they see them as a projection of themselves

You’re right, thank you for standing by and doing nothing. You really helped avoid the worst possible situation!

Idiot
