Every year, I find the San Francisco Pissed Off Voter Guide to be the best and most useful one. I especially like that they show their work.

The Governor primary is particularly vexing this year because, as an open primary, the top two vote-getters advance to the general, so it's possible for the mediocre batch of Democrats to split the vote and we end up picking between two Republican ghouls in the general. So this year's primary is more game-theoretic than I'd prefer.

@jwz second time I've seen people picking Steyer over Becerra.  not super jazzed by either but not sure why people i generally respect are picking a hedge fund billionaire over someone with real political experience in Ca and nationally.

@fedipete @jwz Mainly because he’s actually contributed to progressive causes, he isn’t just spouting progressivism. Also, we do have the ability to recall him if he pulls a Fetterman. If he hadn’t actually put his money where his mouth is for 10-15 years now, I’d also assume he was a spoiler. If a Republican makes it to the top 2 I’ll hold my nose and vote Beccera, but I think the preferable outcome is that the top two are Beccera and Steyer (with Steyer winning).
