Billionaire Tax: Stupid idea to have a one-time thing like this. The government will just let the money slip through their fingers... and then what? I'd be okay with having wealthier people pay somewhat more, but not this way.

Agree!

Cal alum, Josh Fryday for Lieutenant Governor

Endorsed by Gavin Newsom

No thank you.

Also endorsed by Sebastabear because he's a solid Cal guy who would, with his spot on the Board of Regents, be good for Cal. Since I don't usually care about the position anyway, I'll vote for Thank God It's Fryday.

You may be on to something though, PTB: Maybe Newsom should endorse some key GOP candidates for the fall elections!

Late breaking votes to Steyer, the hated one among Democrats? Of course.

The white billionaire who promises to arrest ICE agents, half of whom are people of color.

No, one time tax is a gimmick or a lie

I guess its difficult for some to comprehend that a large percentage of Dems have waited till the last moment to vote .... and in doing so are possibly voting for Steyer to try and get not one, but 2 Dems onto the ballot.

Gamification.

The mail-in voting thing is a vestige of the pandemic and is bs. If you're going to have mail-in voting, at least have the deadline be a few days earlier and don't let it delay the vote counts.

And then we wonder why people laugh at us.

How does Steve Hilton fare then?

Polymarket time for Eric…..then he can hedge his bet with another one on the proposition that the election was rigged if Hilton doesn't win.

I don't think anyone is claiming Hilton is going to win the general election. Just getting a republican candidate to the general election is a win these days in California.

25% of California electorate is Republican. A trained chimp could swamp Hilton, and that's what Becerra is.

Make that a trained chimp that was a major thorn in Trump's arse (as opposed to a Limey b@stard that would sell out our state to his Liege Lord).

Healthcare & Public Benefits: Becerra led efforts to defend the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) from federal dismantling. He also successfully blocked changes to the "public charge" rule, which aimed to restrict low-income immigrants from obtaining green cards if they utilized public healthcare or housing benefits.

Immigration & Sanctuary Policies: His office filed multiple lawsuits to defend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

He repeatedly sued the administration over its attempts to withhold millions of dollars in federal public safety grants from California's "sanctuary jurisdictions", securing a key victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The Border Wall: California spearheaded a multi-state coalition challenging Donald Trump's use of a national emergency declaration to divert billions in military and congressional funds to construct a wall on the southern border.

Environmental Regulations: The state filed dozens of environmental lawsuits opposing the rollback of vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards, restrictions on methane emissions, and rollbacks to the Clean Water Act.

Democratic Processes: Becerra sued the administration to stop the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. Census and litigated against operational changes to the U.S. Postal Service ahead of the 2020 mail-in election.

Facebook, Chevron, AirbnB and Sergey Brin ( Google founder) are supporing Becerra because he will be a trained chimp for them. Get real.

So, you admit to posting lies from social media?
