Katie Porter is one of the very few good guys. She'd be a terrific governor for California, so I expect the Democratic Party will do all they can to oppose her.

If she isn't the Dem nominee she should still run. I think we could put a progressive in here in CA.

California has jungle primaries where the top two (usually both Democrats) go on to contest the general election iirc..

It allows me to remain registered as a Republican but vote liberal every election. I just don’t know how you change affiliation at this point. And I don’t care after so long.

It allows me to register as independent so I don’t get constantly and endlessly harassed with spam from the DNC.

In California? You can do it online.

How do I change my political party?

In order to change your political party preference, you must re-register to vote. You can re-register to vote by completing a voter registration application online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov.

Yep, one of the funnier end results seems to be the gradual recreation of the Progressive Republicans at least in my area. Though it should be noted they are still small and being actively ignored but the rest of the Republicans.

Harris is going to run and don't you know this was her promised consolation prize. So sorry progressives, maybe in a 100 years when everyone in line in front of you dies?

[–] Cocopanda@futurology.today 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Has she confirmed? I haven’t seen anything yet. Amy did well enough in the senate race. But she won’t beat Kamala if she runs. The power has shifted to NorCal/Bay area politicians to win elections.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

She hasn't confirmed yet but that's how the corporate political caste does things. They use the "soft announcement" to start testing messaging and campaign ideas. Then when they publicly decide they're actually running they can denounce anything from before that.
