Understandable, but policy-wise Steyer is the most progressive of the bunch. All the other candidates are standard-issue corporate Dems or Republicans.
Katie Porter?
Yeah, she’s a close second. She seems to be trying to position herself as a more reformist, moderate alternative to Steyer in a couple of ways, though. Like on the tax issue, for example.
Neither she nor Steyer are ideal candidates, but I’d much rather either of them than any of the other shower.
Wow I thought Katie Porter had way more progressive credentials than Steyer. I mean I haven’t been paying to attention to what they’ve been saying in this race, but can’t believe people are saying Steyer is more progressive than Porter. Steyer has no record. Porter does. It just seemed so obvious to me.
