    No the fuck he is not. He’s a billionaire. I am 100% unconvinced that he’s being honest about his motivations and actual plans.

    It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. But Steyer most definitely is. And he’s a VC finance fuckwit to boot.

    Eat the rich.

      He’s a billionaire, and he’s blatantly doing his best to sideline and ignore Porter.

      Fuck billionaires, and fuck Steyer. I don’t believe him for a fucking second. Eat the rich.

        Porter has done a fine job sideling herself unfortunately. Seems like executive power isn’t in the cards for her and she should stick to legislative roles.

        If you approach elections with this mindset, you’ll be ending up with a candidate far more pro billionaire that Steyer. We shouldn’t forget that Roosevelt was also from the then billionaire class.

        That being said, you shouldn’t feel obligated to vote. It’s up to you to decide if that really works for you or if you even believe voting can.make a difference, or just don’t want to for whatever reason. It’s your choice to participate and always will be.

        But if you are going to vote, Steyer is obviously the preferred choice.

        And on Porter. She fell off hard. She both doesn’t stand a chance and needs to drop out today and endorse Steyer, and would be a shittier candidate and governer than Steyer.

          nah dude don’t you get it? you’re just a bluemaga shitlib, the only productive stance is to say that everyone is the exact same and that nothing will change with a sneer and an undeserved superiority complex….

        Conveniently, BlueMAGA shitlibs will always insist that only their preferred centrist oligarch is “viable”

            Crazy but not surprising. This happened also in the Illinois-9th district race with Kat. Local in-fighting and pseudo progressives ended up splitting the vote so that the centrist won.

            I detest Weiner. They’re the worst kind of politician in existence imo.
