Sorry if you believe in party over every other value, but if patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, what's partisanship the refuge of? Swalwell jad to go regardless of what it did to the California governor's race or his seat. Morality for me doesn't stop because someone is a Democrat. Plus it's really weird you're jumping right past the primary. It's not a binary choice that you want to reduce it to.
