Easy: my dad.
After he and my mom divorced he drove from Modesto to Hollister every single weekend to pick us up, drive us back to his place, spend the entire weekend with us, then drive us home before making the trip back himself. Never missed a weekend.
10/10 man. A+ dad.
How about a good governance reform ballot measure that ends citizen-led ballot initiatives but also establishes publicly financed elections and a larger legislature/smaller legislative districts?
While she was in Congress, @CoriBush and I helped lead the fight for Medicare for All.
As a nurse, Cori knows that our healthcare system is broken and unaffordable and that ALL Americans are entitled to health care as a human right.
@X_Gibson_Praise@ShengThaoFiles@_EdwardEscobar@Sheng_Thao51@Nikkiforallofus At that time MACRO was funded through a state grant and was in its very early stages of getting started. I think you’re talking about the amendment to the proposed budget that took some of the proposed OPD spending and gave it to DVP instead.
@BrettYokom@bryanculbertson@estherzelda0514 Oh you’re worried about bank owned foreclosed houses over homeless moms, got it. Given Carroll received no criminal charges and Moms4Housing now owns the place I think your argument comes up short and Carroll comes out even cooler. Pregnant homeless women should have homes
FWIW, I did some slightly more in-depth EI work, which is always difficult in races like this and should be taken with a grain of salt. But it is probably more informative than just looking at plurality-Black precincts, and I have DAC winning Black voters by 16 over Espaillat.
@MrRoivas@magi_jay “Pretty much nobody” has some room for stragglers
But I’m done arguing with you. I have Dem club meeting to get to so we can organize to elect more progressives
the big issues here are that he wants debate organizers to police who is on the public property outside by demanding no electoral actions be taken outside there. That’s public property my dude and we have a constitutional right to assemble. The event organizer can’t control that
And some are reasonable of course. It’s the very unreasonable ones like deciding how an org hosts its own debates/forums that I don’t appreciate. The candidates should defer to event organizers on how they run their debate so long as everything is reasonable
I know some folks have said these appear normal but remember folks I have worked in Bay Area politics for a decade and half that time was in SF.
I’ve worked for Supervisor and Mayoral candidates as well as ran one of the larger clubs in SF and we never saw rules like these.
Scott wants debates of his choosing with his own rules which is why he only accepts debate invites if the organizers follow all these very specific rules he sets so he doesn’t have to confront the public.
These are so cringe. You’re a sitting elected official.
FWIW, I did some slightly more in-depth EI work, which is always difficult in races like this and should be taken with a grain of salt. But it is probably more informative than just looking at plurality-Black precincts, and I have DAC winning Black voters by 16 over Espaillat.
Additional data from the New York Times and VoteHub confirms my Election Night analysis:
Darializa Avila Chevalier won Black voters versus Adriano Espaillat.
But you wouldn't know this by the way the establishment has reacted to her victory.
@MrRoivas@magi_jay Still doubling down, huh? I literally told you that pretty much nobody actually ran on or actually implemented a defunding of the police. and you were the one complaining about the narrative that it creates yet you were doubling down on that very narrative you said was toxic.
@MrRoivas@magi_jay I do find it telling that you are more focused on imaginary things that you want me to say rather than what I am saying and showing you as clear as day. Your bias is blinding you and that’s why the left will win in the end.
@MrRoivas@magi_jay Go ahead and ignore everything I said. I just gave you literal articles showing how moderate Democrats are the ones weaponizing this issue against the left even though it didn’t happen. You are creating this narrative.
