Per L.A. Times, it’ll be Schiff vs Garvey in Calif.

I’m a Porter voter, will obviously support Schiff in the general, but Garvey shouldn’t even be in this damn race. He’s awful.

    @GottaLaff There is something I don’t understand amd maybe any of your followers can help. Why if there are two seats only two candidates can proceed to the Genral election from the primary?

    (New citizen here)

    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @keko Dianne Feinstein died. This is to fill her seat in the Senate.

    keko,
    @keko@mastodon.online avatar

    @GottaLaff Is that the Partial/Unexpired Term vote? in the primary vote there are a Full Term and a Partial/Unexpired.

    That is what is confusing me.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @keko Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

    There was someone appointed to temporarily fill the seat when she died. Now we're having an election to fill it.

    keko,
    @keko@mastodon.online avatar

    @GottaLaff There are two votes to cast for California Senate. That is ehat is confusing me. What happens with the other Senate position, shouldn’t it be two separate races?

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @keko The other Senate position hasn't run out yet. Feinstein died. We needed another Senator.

    keko,
    @keko@mastodon.online avatar

    @GottaLaff Understood! So if Katie does not make for this one… does she have any chances for the other seat or is she out?

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @keko Again, only one seat is up for grabs. The other has not completed their term.

    Katie Porter would have to wait for another election cycle.

    keko,
    @keko@mastodon.online avatar

    @GottaLaff Thanks. She still have my vote in any case.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @keko She got mine too

    @GottaLaff I think Schiff wants to run against Garvey because it would make the general a cakewalk.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @earthlingusa I don't know about a cakewalk, but I agree.

    @GottaLaff Garvey's an ass. But I suppose he has the R after his name and unfortunately we haven't run them all out of CA yet

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @darwinwoodka There are tons. Driving back and forth to Canada, we drive thru disgusting red areas adorned with signs and banners that sicken me.

    @GottaLaff Newport Beach was the worst for me. You would think being coastal it would be ok but it's a cesspool

    @darwinwoodka It's rich and it's bad

    @GottaLaff
    It is a shame we lose three excellent Reps to hold one Senate seat. Are Lee and Schiff's seats safe for dem candidates? I can see cabinet positions for Porter and Lee. If not the Secty level, a #2 position.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @dbc3 I think they're safe seats.

    We still haven't till march fifth to vote. I'm usually an early voter, but I've been busy. I'm still submitting my ballot and I'm still voting for Katie. So let's hope there's more of me out there.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @hannahshouse2 I hope so. I voted the first day for Katie.

    rabbijill,

    @GottaLaff the SF chronicle has endorsed Katie Porter who is my favorite too.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @rabbijill Too late though, from what LAT said. Damn.

    rabbijill,
    @rabbijill@sfba.social avatar

    @GottaLaff 😢 she’s the best

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @rabbijill I know, sigh. I hope she runs again.

    @GottaLaff

    This was a tough one! I love both Katie and Adam--we need them BOTH. I looked at the numbers and donated to Schiff because I knew I wasn't personally able to bail Katie out.

    An aside: I think it's totally fucked up that individuals have to strain to prevent a fascist takeover.

    Barbramon1,
    @Barbramon1@mas.to avatar

    @DemocracyMattersALot @GottaLaff I am voting for Schiff. It's unfortunate that we will lose Katie Porter in the House. She had to resign to run for Senate. Can only hope that a Democrat will win the seat she vacated, but it is Orange Country.
    Garvey should be nowhere near this race. He is totally unqualified, but may make it to the second spot.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @Barbramon1 A Dem will not win in OC this time. @DemocracyMattersALot

    Yeah.... I would have preferred Katie, but her future still looks bright to me!

    @lednaBM Hope so!

    @GottaLaff a story in the LA Times noted that two of Garvey‘s former Dodger teammates are endorsing Barbara Lee🍸🙀

    @poundpj@mastodon.social avatar

    @GottaLaff Like you I can't believe Garvey is in the race.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @poundpj It’s insane that he got enough votes.

    PandaChronicle,
    @PandaChronicle@ohai.social avatar

    @GottaLaff is it too late for Porter to run for her house seat now? It’s a shame to lose her in the house, though she would have made a great Senator. Has the house primary run at the same time?

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @PandaChronicle She vacated her seat, and yes, too late.

    PandaChronicle,
    @PandaChronicle@ohai.social avatar

    @GottaLaff I thought that might be the case. ☹️ I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of her. She is fantastic. I hope Schiff wins in the general. He will be a good Senator.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @PandaChronicle He has to win.

    crcordray,
    @crcordray@ieji.de avatar

    @GottaLaff Damn I voted for Porter. Well obviously it will now be Schiff.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @crcordray It better be. Garvey is simply awful

    @GottaLaff

    Would truly love to know why everyone who has ever held a tennis ball, baseball, soccer ball, football, or basketball believes they are qualified to hold a public office. Most of them aren't qualified to have a driver's license 🙄 much less represent a state's constituency.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @Atticus1956 I know. And he’s just TERRIBLE aside from that.

    allynkhine,

    @GottaLaff I’m a Porter fan too but Schiff is the stronger candidate. Be nice if he knew how to use a whiteboard tho.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @allynkhine He’s not Progressive enough for me, but he’s fine.

    @GottaLaff

    Porter is youngish. She'll get her turn.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @JaneDoeTheFirst She’ll be out of a job

    JaneDoeTheFirst,
    @JaneDoeTheFirst@zeroes.ca avatar

    @GottaLaff

    I did not know that.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @JaneDoeTheFirst Well won’t she be? I may be wrong.

    JaneDoeTheFirst,
    @JaneDoeTheFirst@zeroes.ca avatar

    @GottaLaff

    Have no idea. I'm not really familiar with the process.

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @JaneDoeTheFirst No, sadly I’m right. “ Now, with Porter vacating the seat to run for Senate, Democrats are torn between two candidates.”

    JaneDoeTheFirst,
    @JaneDoeTheFirst@zeroes.ca avatar

    @GottaLaff

    Awww, RATS!

    @JaneDoeTheFirst Yeah, that’s upsetting
