They wanted someone more Latino-y and Socialist-y.
SacBee: The California Democratic Party on Saturday endorsed U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s challenger, highlighting the moderate lawmaker’s political disconnect with liberal activists in her home state.
The nod provides Kevin de León with a boost of momentum for his long-shot bid to unseat the 26-year incumbent. After finishing second and 32 points behind Feinstein in the June primary, de León spent months calling more than 300 members of the party’s executive board to earn their support.
His work paid off Saturday when 65 percent of the voting members endorsed him over Feinstein at a gathering in Oakland.
“Earning the endorsement of so many leaders and activists of the California Democratic Party isn’t just an honor and a privilege; today’s vote is a clear-eyed rejection of politics as usual in Washington, D.C.,” de León said in a statement. “We have presented Californians with the first real alternative to the worn-out Washington playbook in a quarter-century.“ more here
I didn’t realize that California Democrats were so sexist. Imagine, picking a man over a woman!
Feinstein as a “Moderate lawmaker”? This must be an example of the “Overton Window” in action…
The correct answer for the electoral “Final Exam” for America becomes ever more clear.
There ain’t a dimes worth of difference.
Feinstein, a moderate? You gotta be shittin’ me.
No, Kev, that vote was in November of 2016. Today’s vote was only an endorsement of a turbo-supercharged politics as usual in D.C.
First real alternative? Puhleez!
FEIN FUCKSTEIN!!
1 down, only took 16 years after 9/11 when Diane and her husband went from a net worth of less than 1 million to over $95 million while Martha Stewart was jailed. One that got away was Barbara Boxer, as she whispered in the pillows to her husband where to invest. Add attention now to Nancy and Maxine, and maybe we got something going on. Not so much with Maxine (Aunt Ester), too hard to look at and listen to which is what she counts on. Follow the money, which has been said to be the standard but now just follow the greed!
..It’s a permanent picture in the Hall of Stupid.
For the last 20 years the 2 “big” parties in Cal have been in a furious race to see who could be the most progressive. as of 7/16/18 the “D” has retaken the lead. But the race is far from over.
