We should not fall for these billionaires that want to rule just becuz they say they are Democrats.

I'm not judging, just curious if you'd make an exception there.

He’s a lot of things, some good some bad. But he ain’t a progressive. I’m sorry about the Swalwell thing because I thought he was our best bet to beat the Republicans and Steyer.

It ain’t over till it’s over.

YMMV

billionaire Trump also had magic words. We’re back to believing magic word billionaires.

Then all the actual real-life dirty tricks Steyer has pulled to gain wealth are overlooked, but anyone who dared to give speeches is cancelled. It’s quite a show.

You said: "Then all the actual real-life dirty tricks Steyer has pulled to gain wealth are overlooked, but anyone who dared to give speeches is cancelled. It’s quite a show."

Who was cancelled just because they "dared to give speeches"?

I'd be interested in links to credible sources describing the "dirty tricks" you mention. If it is just, "he ran a hedge fund and hedge funds are evil" .... well I'm partly with you there but he exited that in 2012. I don't begrudge people for being wealthy, and I'm sometimes willing to overlook past behavior, if it is long enough in the past, and depending how awful it was vs. for example just being 'go with the flow, follow the mainstream path'.

I'm not in CA and my opinion in the Gov race doesn't matter, except that in general I don't think we should automatically write Steyer off for being a billionaire. It depends on how he is living and using his wealth NOW. Which on the surface seems okay - but you may have good sources, and I am interested to see them.

Steyer would be a gazillion times better than either of those two MAGA wannabes.
I never get my perfect candidate. Ever. I’ve learned to live with that.
