The first step for the candidates running in next year’s California Senate race is to quietly try to spook newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler into not running at all.

    If she actually runs it’s going to be clear that this was all meant to stop Barbara Lee from winning.

    Silly progressives. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?

      Why do progressives think they’re entitled to everything though?

        Not everything, but the Senate position for the most progressive state in the country, that seems fair. Due to the way the Senate was designed progressives are underrepresented. There are probably more progressives in California then the whole population of a couple smaller states combined, and they get no representation. Harris at least gave a little before she shifted right to try and become president, but now even she’s gone.
