Maybe they don’t want a puppy?
Let me rephrase for you in a more literal manner:
Blue candidate in third place: free at point of service healthcare that covers all necessary treatments for all people
Blue candidate in second place: the status quo of extremely expensive healthcare insurance that covers very little for most people
Red candidate in first place: it’s disgusting that undocumented immigrants get any healthcare
And who doesn’t love a good bout of diarrhea?
Uriel238 [all pronouns]Not wanting to vote for the establishment Democrat or the billionaire who made his riches on oil and private prisons, I chose the one woman in the race.
Mind you, I did that once I was pretty certain that one of the Republicans wasn’t going to make it into the top two slots.
If we’re going to have an open primary, we really need ranked choice voting.
is this in reference to the governor’s race? must be right after polls closed and republicans were in the lead. right now its 2 democrats and a republican in the top 3. the republican should have a large portion only because those voters are have less options. during the general, a D vs R will be a blow out for the D.

As is the case of the OP.
Only the top 2 go on to the general, though, and the “diarrhea often” one is a “moderate” shitlib so deeply in the pocket of Chevron he needs a snorkel to breathe.
LucidlethargyI can’t believe so many people voted for the billionaire.
I guess I’m glad he’s likely to lose if only two advance here, though. I voted Becerra purely because I wanted Steyer to lose.
DarkFutureI can’t believe so many people voted for the billionaire.
A lot of people, including myself, waited to the last minute to vote and realized Becerra was locked in and it was actually smart to vote for Steyer to try to lock out the traitor Republican so we’d have two Dems in November instead of a Dem vs a traitor.
I had to stop calling them conservatives since they don’t conserve anything, so I’m going with traitors instead.
Oh, yeah, the guy being actively paid by PG&E, Chevron and Meta is a way safer choice, obviously. There’s no way Becerra, taking money from Chevron, would make decisions against the best interests of the State or its citizens and in favor of Chevron. You’re such a smart boy making good and informed decisions
Beccera is way further rught wing than Newsom.
California Democrats keep showing that they don’t want to stop fascism in anyway and instead want to feel all warm on the inside. So they vote for the right wing democrat, throw their hands up, and declare that fascism is solved.
We should have ranked choice voting
It’s weird how most of the states that are heavily Dem controlled don’t have RCV… It’s almost like they know they will lose power with it.
Now do a map of which jurisdictions have it. I’ll save you a click and let you know it’s the heavily blue major cities.
We tried…

Well that sucks. RCV is great and I am a supporter of it over most other voting systems
My only objection to this meme is that electing a billionaire hedge fund manager is absolutely not “everyone gets a puppy”.
Also, it’s a fucking embarrassment that the top two non-overtly-fascist candidates are a billionaire and a guy who took shitloads of oil money.
I’m seeing a lot of people who don’t know what a class traitor is.
But, voters have said that more of the same establishment democrat is apparently what’s needed over policy arguments that would help the working class even if they may come from “the enemy.”
These are most likely the same people who care about Platner’s tattoo instead of policy.
Sad Katie Porter didn’t get more
Nah, she showed her ass as a fake progressive and absolutely the opposite of the wonk she claims to be during the race. She need to just fade away.
She was like, the only recognizable name in the booklet too since she signed the pledge thing about spending. Then the top two Dems spent record amounts because fuck our country since Citizens United.
The “puppy” is a multi billionaire who spent $200,000,000 on his own primary and is one of the largest individual donors to super pacs in American history…
But trust me bro, he’s totally progressive and is gonna decide to not be a billionaire any day now…
Clearing trump going from one of the largest donors to the Democratic party to… Well, all of this, wouldn’t happen again!
This time we’ll just pick a good billionaire, duh.

The “jungle primary” is designed to get two shitty Dems and a Republican to the general.
But a billionaire who has a D by their name is an obvious liar. If they actually believed their own policy, they’d just have start giving money away long before a billion.
Wha..?
He spent money paying doorknocking canvassers in my state for progressive causes that won and might have helped the initiatives win, he puts his money where his mouth is. I’m seeing a lot of chuckling sentiment like yours online about him and others (like Platner) and I can’t help but wonder about its disingineuity.
Not calling you a bot, generously I’ll say you’re probably just gullible.
Then why does he still have over 2 billion dollars*
Anyone that is a billionaire doesn’t care about helping and all the help they give is a PR campaign
Wake the fuck up
Only the top 2 candidates go on to the general. Not sure what you’re getting at exactly.
I dunno puppies are a lot of work. I’ll take the 4 years of diarhea.
