It's gonna be hard to beat these promises from LeftNet's latest fundraiser email:

quote:

When I’m your governor, I will deliver:
Single payer health care,
Less expensive housing,
Free child care for all,
Zero tuition charges at our UCs and CSUs,
And, thousands of dollars back in families pockets, by eliminating California income tax for those earning less than $100,000.


The free college deal is gonna get the youth vote. Not sure how she's gonna pay for it. Maybe the profs will work for minimum wage and that will be paid by "Taxing the Rich!"

And if that happens, California will get exactly what it deserves, just like New York is getting what it deserves from Mayor free shite.

It's a pipe dream. She will promise the world and deliver zero.

While I agree there's a certain amount of pointing and laughing, it mainstreams crazy ideals that spread to other states.

Completely agree… but what happens when California runs out of money and they look to the feds for a bailout?

At that point, all of us are in the hook.

I think one just hopes that we see these policies play out on the state level to serve as a warning to the rest of the country as to why those policies don't work. Ideally, yes, they would never be instituted anywhere at all but at least we can point to non-theoretical examples of why it doesn't work.

It'll be a reverse Gold Rush. Anyone with gold/money will be rushing to leave the state.

None of her "platform" is remotely possible. State run healthcare? dream on.
