      To be fair while I don’t think toe to toe with Sanders she’d win outright, she did announce her campaign for presidency this past time way earlier than he did. He could have thrown his full weight behind her and I’d still think she’d have come up short.

        Took me a minute to figure out you were talking about Warren not Porter.

        The point is by the time the conservatives consolidated around super Tuesday, Warren should have done the same and dropped out. There was no path for her long before then, and she stuck around long enough in this weird fucked up primary to basically set Biden up to take it.

        If Porter drops out, thats the 2-3% Steyer needs to be in the top two. And like Warren, she fucking blew it.

      Steyer is a billionaire in progressive clothing and if he ever really wants to earn our votes, not just buy them, he should start putting his money towards programs that actually help people rather than ads. He already has more power than most politicians just by the cash hammer he can swing. So I think it was all about the title with him. But he’s got 4 years to prove me wrong.

      I would have preferred Katie but if she’d dropped she shouldn’t have thrown her people to the wolf.

      Get fuck sure endorsing a billionaire is something we expect from progressives.

      Do as Bernie would do and I yell it for the bleachers.

      BILLIONAIRE ARE NOT HERE TO HELP US. AND SANDERS WOULD NEVER ENDORSE OR VOTE FOR ONE. SO NEVER WILL I.

      EAT THE RICH THAT MEANS STEYER TOO!

        If its between a billionaire who says they want to tax the billionaires and a millionaire funded by billionaires who explicitly says they wont tax billionaires, I’m going with the billionaires who says they want to tax the billionaires.

        And like, you won. You won the day. You got your pro-Israel, pro-billionaire guy elected. You got your pro-billionaire candidate. But when California is still struggling to put a leash on wealth inequality, its you who we’ll be blaming.

            Welcome to the world of elections. You elect people on what they say they are going to do. Voting is always a leap of faith.

            But at least Steyer said they wanted to tax billionaires. Your boy doesn’t even pretend to want to tax billionaires.

              He fucking lying do yall not get that? He knew what you wanted to hear and yall gobbled it up. Holy shit! He didn’t earn all those billions by caring for people.

              A billionaire is a choice. I wonder how many bots had yall suddenly loving electing a billionaire? Apparently the votes were not there. But goddamn saw to many people falling over themselves for him online.

                Why are you so mad? You won! You stopped Steyer. You got your pro-billionaire diet-Fascist candidate elected. And you left the door open to an outright fascist (Hilton) to become governor of California. This is what you advocated for.

                See… I think you are the hog who ate up all the slop. Now instead of a person who at least claimed to have principals aligned with the left, we have two candidates who have clearly stated that they will be actively hostile to those goals. So with your use of rhetoric, what exactly did you think you were accomplishing, hog?
