The differences between Porter, Lee, and Khanna are marginal in the grand scheme of things. The worst-case outcome in the primary is if Schiff and a random republican get through, and having three progressive candidates throw their hats in the race greatly increases the odds of this occurring. I'm supporting Porter because she actually had the guts to be the first candidate in this race to challenge Feinstein and she has high name recognition.

A close friend of mine told me today that he was considering quitting smoking soon because the state banned menthols and it took the enjoyment out of it for him. Legislative win. yes I know smokers saying they're quitting doesn't really mean anything

idiotsavant posted:lol everything about that article was just absolute trash every time i look into "right wing" online discourse in CA politics it's like 60% office drama muckraking and 40% "CRIME CRIME CRIME CRIME CRIME LIBS SOFT ON CRIME". sometimes the ratios flip depending on the news of the day our de facto single-party system is dysfunctional and full of problems, but dear god the other side seems to expend most of their effort between "look how awful these people are!" and "look how awful these problems are!" attack pieces that have no substance beyond "we promise, if you just eject all those awful people, we will come in and press the magic 'fix problem' button" the backroom office politics nonsense feels like largely a distraction game

It's the sexism that pisses me off in these articles. We had two Congresscritters get into a literally physical altercation on the House floor who I am sure are perfect angels to their staff, but no its some dem woman that was angry about a salad or said something slightly unpleasant to a coworker once who are a problem and completely unelectable. It's the just modern dog whistles for "shrill" and "hysterical". Burning_Monk fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Feb 15, 2023 |

The new CalCare bill has been introduced: https://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/california-nurses-renew-fight-for-guaranteed-health-care?akid=170351.1495244.gbSyQm&rd=1&t=1 If you are interested in making universal healthcare a reality in California, please sign up to volunteer: https://act.medicare4all.org/signup/calcare-mfa/ It's going to be a heavy lift, but with enough grassroots pressue, it's definitely doable.

The next big push is to start canvassing operations in March so you should start getting emails about that over the next few weeks.
