Let California decide who they want.

Left coast politics are NOT the same as Midwest politics or even East coast politics. I'm in Oregon and if some Floridian for example told me how to vote, I would roll my eyes and say, You don't know my state." Just like many here advocate their support for Joe manchin in a red state. The west coast is more left than anywhere in the US.

We have some qualified progressives waiting in the wings. It’s time to begin moving them up.
