It doesn't work that way obamanut2012 Jun 23 #11

It would if we were more of a democracy SSJVegeta Jun 23 #13

Sounds like you want it dictated RandySF Jun 23 #20

Actually I think I prefer Harris SSJVegeta Jun 23 #22

It literally doesn't work that way -- you seem to want it to NOT be fair obamanut2012 Jun 23 #42

Porter has signaled she will drop out of the race if Harris runs SSJVegeta Jun 23 #48

Kamala might be the better candidate Renew Deal Jun 23 #15

Agreed. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #17

I also saw somehwhere how Porter will drop out if Harris wins SSJVegeta Jun 23 #25

Porter also had her chance. She got third in the statewide Senate race. tinrobot Jun 23 #21

Fair point. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #26

I like her but Porter made a terrible misstep. I hope she re-ignites her political career and maybe the coming Midterms OnDoutside Jun 23 #28

What do you think her misstep was? SSJVegeta Jun 23 #29

I thought she should have stayed in the House and continued to do what she was garnering great kudos for, holding OnDoutside Jun 23 #30

I think youre right. Might be tough to come back from that. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #31

Yes, I can't imagine she made too many friends, which is a pity because she is so clever. OnDoutside Jun 23 #34

So women running for office only get one shot? mcar Jun 23 #35

Thats a weird interpretation SSJVegeta Jun 23 #37

That si what you said, though -- since she's already held state offices, too bad obamanut2012 Jun 23 #43

What I clarified with is what I intended to say. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #45

Why does Porter get a second shot at holding office mcar Jun 23 #46

Where the heck did i say she should be banned from running?? SSJVegeta Jun 23 #47

You deleted your statement so I can't refer to it mcar Jun 23 #49

Yeah I deleted it cause people seemed to get the wrong idea from it. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #50

If Katie Porter wants her chance, she'll have to earn it calguy Jun 23 #38

Maybe. I dont know. SSJVegeta Jun 23 #7

I live here, yes obamanut2012 Jun 23 #10

We need whoever can win CA kkmarie Jun 23 #8

Literally any Democrat will win California these days Sympthsical Jun 23 #18

do you think a Black woman is not capable of taking us in a new direction? cadoman Jun 23 #23

Very fair point OnDoutside Jun 23 #27

Sorry I don't vote solely based on a candidate's race or gender fujiyamasan Jun 23 #32

Winsome Sears is a clinically insane, KKK apologist, school shooter in the making cadoman Tuesday #55

Hence my point fujiyamasan Tuesday #66

I do not vote identity. I vote policy. Sympthsical Jun 23 #39

if a Black woman can't be elected as Governor in the most Democratic state in the country... cadoman Tuesday #54

She would be elected if she ran. So what's your argument? Sympthsical Tuesday #56

I love Kamala! I love Katie! kkmarie Jun 23 #9

As a Californian, it seemed like it was always Schiff's to lose. tinrobot Jun 23 #24

I agree Unwind Your Mind Tuesday #61

Oh Jesus help us Prairie Gates Jun 23 #12

What do you mean by that? mcar Jun 23 #36

As a Californian, I hope she runs, sorry you don't like her obamanut2012 Jun 23 #40

She should do it Renew Deal Jun 23 #14

Nope Sympthsical Jun 23 #16

Also my state, and I hope she runs obamanut2012 Jun 23 #41

And nothing will change Sympthsical Jun 23 #44

Weren't you just up further in this thread saying you vote for policy and not identity? W_HAMILTON Tuesday #62

Status quo is a description of policy Sympthsical Tuesday #63

Would governor be a step down from the VP spot? Bayard Jun 23 #52

Would governor be a step down from the VP spot? Bayard Jun 23 #53

John Quincy Adams served in the House after being President Kaleva Tuesday #57

I did not know that Bayard Tuesday #58

One of the very few presidents to do something like that Kaleva Tuesday #60

No, we are the 4th largest economy in the world, too obamanut2012 Tuesday #59
