Why are progressives all making asses of themselves to endorse a billionaire for California?

Katie Porter is at least more aligned with them if I recall correctly.

Anyway, vote green or socialist.

    Plus, if you read the printed guide, a ton of people opted out of being shown in it because you have to agree not to spend over some huge amount of money on your campaign. Billionaires running obviously aren't in the booklet.

    However, Porter is in the booklet, an indicator she's not spending big on her own campaign. She's the only recognizable person in it, really, along with a disturbing amount of insane people.
