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.
Thats a person who stood up for their principles while you abandoned yours. You’re the manipulated one here. And we both lost so I dont see that it matters much who you feel like you need to blame. I respect my dog’s barking more than I respect anything you say, and my dog is an idiot. Just be aware that the same voting outcome will happen again if t needs to. And 20% of the voters are progressive. So maybe dont try to run a campaign on genocide support from the ‘lefty’ party again and things will turn out better.
Oh shut up. Soapboxing your pro trump stance is so 2021

Calling anyone who didnt vote for Harris a trump supporter is such a classic centrist move. Besides being utter devoid of any ethics around your own stance on genocide, you’re also brazenly dishonest about everyone else as well. You’d fit right in on the far right yourself.

Thats why people call you blue maga.

Good luck in life being easily manipulated
And good luck to you licking and sucking everything put in front of you that you’re told to. You have negotiated everything away – with nothing at all in repayment–and you will obviously continue to do so.
