There's nothing wrong with the Dems running for Governor of CA!

I am so sick of the elite east coast media whining about the "nobodies" running for Governor in my state. They are SO disappointed that Kamala and Alex Padilla aren't running, although if they did they would tear them apart too. I am not falling for it.

You know how I know their criticism is complete BS? They only aim it at Dems. Hint to the media: there ARE two nobodies running for Governor of the fourth largest economy if the world. But they're not Dems. Figure it out.

and I am still for Becerra. He was attacked a lot during the CNN debate, and he kept his cool to an admirable degree.

and especially wanted Kamala to run. But their coverage of her would have been as shallow and biased as it was in 2024.

Has allowed so many candidates to run. There are other offices, and the clouded democratic ticket makes it feel like a party out of control of its members...

but that's a separate issue. I've seen many "panels" and east coast journalists slamming the quality of the candidates. The quality of the Dem candidates is fine, Maybe a little criticism of the Oath Keeper ballot confiscating guy and the FAUX news talking head endorsed by trump is in order?
