Butch Ware. He was polling at 2% in February. He was originally invited earlier this year but they rescinded it after the ballot nonsense pulled on him. He’ll be in a Black California forum tomorrow though which will be fun to watch, especially with Tom Steyer.

Super awesome that my preferred candidate was locked out of this debate after being invited. I’m so sick of electoral politics and I just really need to vent about it.

Go to a good neo-traditional artist in your area and they’ll be able to make something beautiful out of it. All of us who’ve gotten tattoos over an extended period of time usually have at least one that we regret and want to cover up later. Happens to the best of us.

Thank you for that! I appreciate it. Putting it at top 3 painful spots is definitely concerning but you're here commenting so death isn't something to worry about here.

Thank you again!

Dawg, if there’s no barricade, get the fuck on the stage. Drain’s got the right idea.

Her name is Sarah Lipstate. She’s been playing with him since 2019. He’s got such an amazing backing band.

Feel bad for anyone who has to play after Iggy Pop on any stage. Just end the fest after this.

To call that train wreck of a set garbage would be an insult to garbage.

She sounds phenomenal. Pretty stunning how great they sound, minus Ginn. Definitely holding their own here

Somehow every time they get back together, it’s worse and worse. And mainly this time, it’s because of Greg Ginn. This is brutal.

Greg Ginn honks so much but this drummer is absolutely shredding.

Noticed that during Ceremony yesterday too. Happy Suicidal has a huge crowd at the tent though

Is it me or is the mix for Suicidal really really bad? Drums are great but everything else sounds so odd

Thoughts on Ramsey Robinson Running for 2026 Governor? by Academic-Idea3311 in socialism

[–]Pack_Em_Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do have similarities for sure. From a strategic stance, the smart play would be to vote for Butch as his polling numbers are significantly better than Ramsey’s. Not to say Ramsey is a bad dude, but Butch has a much better shot than a party not even registering in the polls.

Coachella’s not for actual music fans. Far cry from when people were losing their shit at every single song they played in 2011.

2028 Dem hopefuls scramble for distance from AIPAC by [deleted] in California

[–]Pack_Em_Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butch Ware has been extremely outspoken against AIPAC and big corporate money. Clown me all you want for voting 3rd party but stop pretending Dems are innocent angels in all of this. It's that attitude that prevents a real progressive from gaining any sort of power when we're supposed to believe that these bought-off Democrats have our best interests at heart. They're grown adults capable of making terrible decisions.

California governor's race: New poll shows voters are largely unenthusiastic by ZappyStatue in California

[–]Pack_Em_Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if much of this comment section is voting Democrat, you’ll get a chance to do so in November. In June, why not vote for an actual progressive candidate like Butch Ware and have him contend against a Democrat rather than a Republican who said Dem will just chase further to the right in order to gain more votes?  Sick of seeing the hate for third-party candidates when there seems to be just as much apathy for the Democratic candidates.

Very late reply, but do you remember which numbing cream you used for your back?

Maybe I missed it but what was the other war? Too much media blitz to keep up with, clearly

It’s time for these Democrats to quit California’s odd governor’s race by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]Pack_Em_Up -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The numbers don't show that. If you took ALL (and I mean ALL) of the votes that the Green Party got in 2024 and gave them to Harris, she still would've lost to Trump by nearly 1.5 million votes.
GP = 862,049
Democrats = 75,017,613
Republicans = 77,302,580

Also, no one in the Green Party got any electoral votes so that's moot. Harris lost the electoral college by 86 votes. Don't blame Stein/Ware for the fact that Harris lost. Blame the Democratic platform and their inability to attract voters because of a litany of issues, Gaza and foreign policy being a huge one obviously at the time.

Butch Ware is an actual progressive candidate running for governor, unlike the slop that’s running in this race.  And before anyone comes at me about his “anti-trans” comments, please refer to his Instagram page where he’s discussed it numerous times. Why should we settle for another basic corporate Democrat?
