In reply to the discussion: Even Robert Reich is Disappointing Me [View all]Sympthsical

As a California voter, this is not a position I want to be in.
I just cannot believe the slate we got in all this. And the state party really needed to crack some heads about the Democratic primary. They needed to do some horse trading or bring pressure to bear. Anything at all. But they stood meekly by and just kind of did nothing, because they figured any movement would offend someone somewhere.
And the fact people refused to drop out once it was clear they wouldn't win? They've scratched themselves off my list for any future consideration for public office. Nice big statement that it's about their ego rather than teamwork.

It's a tough choice. And I missed the second debate, so there's that. I'll try to watch it.

Reich posted Steyer explaining "Why Tax Cuts for the Rich Are So Stupid" back in 2017.

Your point is irrefutable. None the less Steyer is not just occasionally doing the right thing
