2. It'll be Becerra

As soon as Swalwell dropped, that's where all the corporate and lobbying powers went.

I'm not bitter. Just disappointed California cannot or will not do better than this. People complain about corporations, then rush out to vote in ways consonant with what the corporate class wants when there are alternatives sitting right there.

Personally, I'm fine. Great even. DINK household that already owns a house. I can chill in my enclave with my solar power and wave at all the people who voted for PG&E's continued fuckery.

But it'll be four years of whelming for the state where not much of not much changes. When I saw Becerra's "AI Vision for California" stuff, I cackled.

People are going to get precisely what they are voting for.

Ok, I'm a little bitter. Thanks, Porter. You proved me right.
