primaries a bit disapointing here. very heavy machine type push against progressives. biss one against kat. its not that biss is so bad but kat would have been a huge message to the party. an old school bumped a progressive assessor out. quigley kept his seat. Thing is its not like the canidates are bad I just wanted more of a progressive shakeup.

I feel like I'm reading a bad Google translate. What does "biss one against kat" mean? What's a progressive assessor?
sorry bis and kat were canidates running against each other in the primary for a house seat a progressive assessor was a non machine canidate who won last time but got pushed out by an old school family name in the area. He actually did very well considering its a period where assesments had to go way up. I almost thing the machine party types did not want to win for a term so that someone else could deal with it and then swoop in.
Meanwhile, here in California we've got so many Democrats running for governor, we are almost certain to have a MAGA governor of the worst kind.
I thought spicy meant sexy?
Hot take!
Big deal. Knowing the voters, theyd just sit it out again then blame the party for shitty options.
I didn't sit it out, but the loss was well earned. I wouldn't be surprised if we learn 50 years from now that the party, controlled by money, intentionally drove this country to the right.
shows that voters are being given a choice
Illusion of choice, the party will always get who the party wants. And the few that may find their way in will either be forced to comply with the party or be primaried
