Seems like the governors race in California is going like shit
Dudes net worth is 2.4 billion…
The San Francisco resident has spent over $320 million in federal elections since 2010?plus another $340 million on his own presidential campaign in 2020.

He just realized it’s better to cut out the middle man these days and run yourself than buy a politician.
If he was even a halfway decent human being he’d have given away about 2 billion dollars by now and still had more money than he could spend in his lifetime.
The only reason someone this selfish would run for government is to personally enrich themselves and amass power. If he wanted to really help people he’d just spend all his time giving his money away.
He’s the only one with a progressive platform!
Nothing he does as Governor would equal spending 1.4 billion on charity…
And he’d still have a billion dollars.
Need I remind you that platforms are non binding?
How about how Super Pacs have been destroying our nation?
Steyer is literally one of the largest individual donors…
He is everything wrong with our political system and giving him the keys because he promises to be a good boy is ridiculous when he is constantly not a good boy and keeps hoarding all the fucking wealth.
If he was serious about not hoarding wealth, why is he still actively doing it?!
i totally agree. this guy is sus
Don’t be fooled by the Dem establishment candidate…
Becerra is also former AG, ie a cop.
The entire point of Cali’s primary system is to prevent progressives from getting thru by scaring everyone to settle for “electable” to block Republicans…
That being said, I honestly don’t know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs.
Because if they were, they wouldn’t be billionaires it’s the easiest fucking thing in the world to not be a billionaire. But every day they decide to allow thousand of easily preventable deaths for so little money it honestly wouldn’t show up as a rounding error for them.
Anyone who isn’t a complete and total piece of shit would have hemorrhaged money immediately, the fact that anyone has had control over a billion dollars for more than 24 hours mean they are a completely irredeemable person.
Anything they do, is solely a PR move and viewed as a cost of bonus if not an outright grift.
Politicians are only as useful as their policies, which other candidate has better policies?
