Xavier Becerra Pushed to Inflate a Black Man’s IQ to Execute Him as California AG https://theintercept.com/2026/05/19/xavier-becerra-california-governor-death-penalty/ permalink fedilink source parent [–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) The entire point of Cali's primary system is to prevent progressives from getting thru by scaring everyone to settle for "electable" to block Republicans... That being said, I honestly don't know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs. Because if they were, they wouldn't be billionaires it's the easiest fucking thing in the world to not be a billionaire. But every day they decide to allow thousand of easily preventable deaths for so little money it honestly wouldn't show up as a rounding error for them. Anyone who isn't a complete and total piece of shit would have hemorrhaged money immediately, the fact that anyone has had control over a billion dollars for more than 24 hours mean they are a completely irredeemable person. Anything they do, is solely a PR move and viewed as a cost of bonus if not an outright grift. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago Politicians are only as useful as their policies, which other candidate has better policies? permalink fedilink source parent
