16. People mistake their online bugaboos for average voters

Most voters in California don't even know who Nina Turner is. Why would they? And why would they care in the absolute slightest?

It's not going to be a factor where it counts - the vast majority of actual California voters, of which I am one. I'm sure DU will discuss it at great length, however.

Remember when "people in the know!" absolutely knew McCarthy wasn't going to be Speaker?

So . . . how'd that go?

I think it's interesting that people want two men to represent such a diverse and progressive state after it was represented by wonderful Democratic women for so long.

But that's none of my business.

You wrongly claimed that no one will care. W_HAMILTON Jan 2023 #19

I think you and I generally agree then Sympthsical Jan 2023 #23

I agree that her endorsement of Nina Turner will not be a big factor with the general public, Just A Box Of Rain Jan 2023 #25
