  • If Harris enters the race, “there are very few politicians who would want to take her on”, said Jack Pitney, a Claremont McKenna College political scientist. “She’d be likely to win the Democratic nomination, and Democrats are likely to win the governorship.”

    As a result Cali voters would get zero say in who their governor is…

    They’d be stuck with one substantially more conservative than Cali has been even under Newsom. And she’s not a shoe in. Running a candidate that voters don’t want leads to losses in easy elections. Even if it wins the top of the ticket, depressed turnout leads to down ballot losses across the ballot.

    Fuck any candidate that steps aside if Kamala announced, a healthy primary increases dem turnout in the general, and more importantly forces candidates to cater towards just dem voters during the primary. If that doesn’t happen, they just feel pressured to move right in the general.


  • Since you’re a brand new account, you might not know how problematic their admin is.

    If they see you pointing it out, or really mentioning anything negative about that instance, they’ll ban you.

    For that reason a lot of communities have been leaving that instance, so starting a new one there is signing up for that.

    You’re also almost guaranteed to get a bunch of trolls who will manipulate that admin into doing a lot of dumb shit in any community over there.

    If youre ok with a lot of questionable overreach by admins, go for it. But you’ll have more autonomy as a mod literally anywhere else
