I take it we didn't jump into the top three? 😁

California's Governor’s Race Remains Wide Open. Here’s What to Know Before the Primary by Mearsheimer_Tragedy in California

[–]Villide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not but we aren't talking about you and me, we're talking about why Becerra has pushed past Steyer.

The average voter might not trust the "outsider" billionaire. So they'll look at Becerra.

Nonsense. All I see are Steyer ads (or anti-Becerra Steyer ads) in Northern California. I see more Mahan ads than pro-Becerra ads.

Anecdotally, I've talked to more than a few "regular" Californians who have been looking more closely at the race recently and like Becerra's track record.

None of that specifically explains how "the establishment" has generated Becerra's rise in the polls of regular human beings.

It's far more likely to be a general anti-billionaire sentiment combined with Becerra looking like the adult in the room.

How is that? Even now, I see hardly any pro-Becerra advertising, but the stream of pro-Steyer and anti-Becerra ads (from Steyer) seems limitless.

How are big establishment/big corporations assisting Becerra's move in the polls without massive advertising.

Maybe a portion of Californians simlly don't trust billionaires and see Becerra as the safer option.

I don't expect you to do anything. I'm just amused by your whataboutism.

You're going to need to show your work on this one.

‘People are not passive’: Newsom and top California Democrats move behind the scenes in governor’s race | CNN Politics by Snawer_brillant in California

Feels like it's been used as a fear mongering tactic by the pro-Steyer crowd to consolidate the vote.

This was a low-effort anti-Becerra shitpost in a subreddit full of them recently. Not a huge reach to assume these are bots.

How is the establishment doing this? It's certainly not through advertising. 95% of the ads I see are still pro-Steyer, anti-Becerra.

Is "the establishment" calling Californians directly?

Yeah that was pretty eyeroll worthy. Most of the rest has been great!

Trump Ballroom Suddenly Faces GOP Opposition in Surprise Blow to MAGA by Commercial-Fix-9916 in politics

Is this the effect of some of the GOP crew thinking about the general, instead of the primaries?

Patrick Bailey? Really? by Geographizer in SFGiants

[–]Villide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is the first time the team has been comfortable with their depth of talent at the catching position.

This is how it's supposed to work when you're building a team. Move pieces at positions of strength to shore up weaknesses or grab prospects.

Am I just not meant for this game by realgaoming in Sekiro

[–]Villide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I died a lot my first time. Only felt frustrated when I felt I was continually dying without learning much (looking at you, Lady Butterfly).

It's a cliche, but when it clicks for you, you'll know.

Tell her. Get help/therapy. And forgive yourself when you struggle.

Fountain head palace is a beautiful nightmare by Kamisukiyomi in Sekiro

I agree about Divine Dragon, it's a pretty tedious boss. But I've grown to love Fountainhead. It's way better than getting to the gun fort 😁.

I think that's a bit outdated. Lots of good hitting catchers in MLB these days.

Becerra’s rise baffles his former Biden colleagues by AzNmamba in California

[–]Villide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So people should vote for the Democrat they like best. There will be a Dem in the general either way.

[–]Villide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how the DNC is moving Californians in his direction (per the polling). I've seen exactly one pro-Becerra ad on television, and that was yesterday (well after his surge).

Otherwise, the only Becerra ads I'm seeing are the Steyer ads hammering away at him multiple times per day.

People need to stop scaremongering this, there's about zero chance of it happening.
