turns out that running a government 50% based on gentlemens agreements to not upset the whole applecart doesnt actually work when somebody realizes that its all calvinball

at the very least the democrats need a new McGovern Reforms. standardization of primary requirements, voter registration, etc. its 2017 and there is no excuse for still having primaries predicated on the notion that you have to take a train to the county seat to cast a vote/

the problem with the Primary All Dems approach is that the basic truth of congress is that everyone hates congress while liking their congresspeople

feinstein's overdue for a pick-off and her primary opponent supports single-payer (as does pelosi's primary opponent). yes, you'd likely be outnumbered (and she's likely to be endorsed by the state party) but there's a good oppo movement in CA that's pissed about rendon shelving single-payer so I say go for it.

i'm usually weary of the 'homophobe is secretly gay' thing but thinking you can be persuaded to be gay only makes sense if he's in the closet and assumes all straight men are attracted to each other and are only straight because they resist their sinful, filthy urges
the homophobes who are in the closet tend to be the really extreme ones i think like peter labarbera

honestly from what ive been seeing in up-and-coming SoCal dems, im almost optimistic about our state party. i feel like the key thing is that we need to stop putting Bay Area lawyers in charge of everything. the appointment of Becerra to AG is a good shift, because i feel hes a solid guy, and the establishment lining up behind Jimmy Gomez signals some potentially positive things
