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.

    I think you’re confusing me for you because:

    • I’m not a Twitter / X user

    • I actually understand the state of American politics, and accept the reality that pandering to normie/centrist/independent political ideology is what wins elections

    • I care more about moving this country forward than virtue signaling about having a female president

    • I understand how uncharismatic and unpopular Kamala Harris was/is/will continue to be

    I actually cannot understand how someone could be so blind to reality. Hillary Clinton already tried to play queen maker on her own behalf while being a historically unpopular candidate because she thought she was OWED her turn in line.

    In the process she propped up Donald Trump as a spoiler candidate, rigged the DNC against Bernie Sanders, and fucked this country into the timeline we have been stuck in for the last (almost) decade.

    I’m not laughing because I know this brand of identity politics camouflaged as faux progressivism leads to failure. I care about political results in the real world, and if you think I’m the one in the bubble you need to wake up and smell the napalm.
