If single-payer advocates want a candidate in the top two, they probably need to unite behind one candidate. Of course, all of the single-payer candidates probably think that they should be that one..

Newsom promised single-payer health care. So are all the Democrats who want his seat. Candidates for governor are promising universal public health care, which might sound familiar to California voters who've heard it before.

Here is where the top Democrats for California Governor stand on Universal Healthcare:

SWALWELL: public option

PORTER: single-payer

STEYER: single-payer

BECERRA: single-payer

THURMOND: single-payer

YEE: single-payer

VILLARAIGOSA: public option

A billion dollars a day.

A billion dollars a day for an unnecessary war in Iran that they launched without a plan, a strategy, or an end game.

Don’t ever let any politician tell you that we cannot afford universal healthcare again.

But there's actually a more recent case when a Vicepresident has become President, but not because of the President dying, but because of a President's resignation. It was Richard Nixon, who was succeded by Gerarld Ford in 1974. _____________________________________________________________ If you want to learn more about Spain check out our blog: ➑️ https://sensationalspain.com/categories/politics-in-spain/ If you want to get a closer view of Spain check out our walks channel: ➑️ https://www.youtube.com/@sensationalspain-walks β–Ό Music Usedβ–Ό - https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/complex-world - https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/theme-from-a-lift Thanks for Watching!

Okay, I just asked Claude.ai if it could create a sample California redistricting map with 40 State Senate and 160 Assembly seats, with each Senate seat containing four Assembly districts, expecting it to generate some sort of table.

It just created a whole new redistricting app. 🫨

That is how we know that is exactly what they are planning to do.

Did it occur to these nimrods that bombing civilians would rile up the Iranians that support the regime too?

Iran is not Iraq.

Despite their differences, Israel and Iran both have something in common β€” universal health care.

The U.S. has corporate greed instead.

Donald Trump has already betrayed the Kurds once before β€” just like he betrays everyone in the end for selfish means. For their sake, I hope they don’t trust him in Iran now.

Nothing that Trump or this administration says or reports about this war is reliable, believable, or credible. Nothing. They lie under oath. No one should trust them.

Struggling Democrats need to drop out of California’s crowded governor race or risk a GOP win, party leader warns A big field of candidates makes it possible for a Republican to be elected governor. California's Democratic Party leader told unviable candidates to bow out.

I admit that I might have been wrong about this. Enough credible party leaders are worried about the divided field.

I would ask any Democrat polling under 10% who doesn't have a viable and credible plan to get themselves to the top-2 to humbly withdraw.
